CORY ARCANGEL (feat. BEIGE) is a young artist based in Manhattan. His work is concerned with technology's relationship to culture and the creative process. It is often constructed using obsolete computers found at thrift stores and garage sales. I shot Andy Warhol is a modified version of the interactive light gun game "Hogan's Alley" in which the graphics have been changed. In the game a player is asked to shoot various 8-bit versions of Andy Warhol, while being careful to avoid other characters [the Pope, Flavor Flav, and Col. Sanders].

ELOUT DE KOK is a dutch artist. He is the author of the web site Pixel Lab: an on-line laboratory that contains all his experiments with generative and interactive graphics. He calls that “my digital playground” and updates it very often.

JODI.ORG is the name of the most famous Net Art site. The duo behind it is working on the Web since 1995 and is currently based in Spain. They are considered to be the pioneers of the Net Art scene and their works are often concerned with computer errors and code deconstruction. untitled-game is a package of 12 modified videogames, all born out from Quake source code. Characters and ambients disappear, letting space to abstract and hypnotic forms. Screens are full of numbers, code, colored or blinking shapes. The audio remains the original one: human voices, shots and explosions are the soundtrack of our journey through a game left untitled.

LIMITEAZERO is a duo based in Milan, Italy. Their experimental activity is about the exploration of alternative relations between man and machine. It tries to establish an emotional approach using interface systems, instead of a logical/deductive one. Active Metaphore is an application of the "Carnivore" engine, a software wich listens to all internet traffic on a specific local network written by computer artists’ ensemble RSG (Radical Software Group). This work use the data to work out visual compositions and a sound feedback.

CARLO ZANNI [a.k.a beta] works with the most ancient artistic way, the painting, combined with the most recent that is to say Internet. His research runs on two twin lines, doing a comparison between the tradition and contemporary life. His paintings (oil on canvas) are precise and impersonal reproductions of desktop's icons, software's logos and other images taken from the contemporary landscape: the computer’s screen. The works made for Netizens exhibition are paintings of “not loaded images”. They are empty squares with a little red cross. In web sites, they compare when an image can’t be visualiazed for technical problems. Zanni’s paintings are “ ‘not loaded answers’ to questions reflecting the anxiuos feeling pervading our society”. Questions are in the work’s titles, answers are not available.
