Nov/Dec Furthertxt

November/December Issue of Furthertxt
++++++++++++++++++++

In the new issue of Furthertxt:

Millie Niss is wondering why the world is the way it is…
Peter Yeoh is wondering why the virtual world is the way it is…
Patrick Lichty is wondering how we can change the way the world is…
and Philip Jackson is pre-empting and lamenting the loss after change is
made!

In the case of Concorde, what goes up, must come down, but is it the Fall of
falling technology or merely time to take stock?


Writers Featured:

Millie Niss is a web artist, poet, and activist on behalf of persons with
mental illness. She has work on line in trAce, Beehive, Rhizomes/hyperrhiz,
The Museum of the Essential and Beyond (Brazil), bannerart.org, and others.
She is afraid to get this piece published in her native USA (although she
has read it to like-minded audiences) because of the persecution of people
who publicly oppose the Bush Administration-thankfully in the UK, we are all
for it!

Peter Yeoh is a PhD student in Digital Art History at Birkbeck College
researching on war and its effect on digital art and architecture. In 2004
he will be a visiting fellow at the Art Research Center, Ritsumeikan
University, Kyoto. He also works as web administrator for the Sainsbury
Institute for the Study of Japanese Arts and Cultures. This text is a delve
into his research so far.

Patrick Lichty is a technologically-based intermedia artist, writer,
activist, and independent curator living in Baton Rouge who has explored the
effects of mass media and technology for over a decade and a half. This text
is a bid to subvert the technology that permeates our day to day lives.

Philip Jackson relishes continual learning and discovery, and is certain
our life on this planet is purely a fragment of our entire existence. This
poem looks at the tragedy of any relationship where a person tries to change
another into what they seek, rather than appreciating what they have.



Please also peruse our back issues which feature written work by:
The Critical Art Ensemble, Saul Albert, Marc Garrett, Lewis La Cook, Ryan
Griffis, Gayle Wald, Bruce Eves…and more!
