MASSAGE

You are cordially invited you to stop by MASSAGE
(http://www.nomadnet.org) for a stimulating little rubdown on
contemporary media, art and culture.

MASSAGE is a quarterly Web journal designed to aid in the circulation of
ideas, critical discourse and discussion.

Volume One of MASSAGE includes articles by Keith Roberson, Beverly Ress
and Stacy Pershall. Art Jones' media-inspired musing "goal" is featured
in The Project Room–a space devoted to works-in-progress and artist
projects.

MASSAGE is also pleased to publish in its entirety "Attention!
Production! Audience! Performing Video in its First Decade, 1968-1980"
by Chris Hill. This essay was originally written as a curatorial
introduction to "Surveying the First Decade: Video Art and Alternative
Media in the U.S. (1968-1980)," a definitive 17 hour survey curated by
Hill for The Video DataBank. In "Attention! Production! Audience!" Hill
offers a historical overview of the formative years of video art and
alternative media. The essay also includes excerpts from interviews with
pioneering media practioners including Tony Conrad, Woody Vasulka,
Philip Mallory Jones and Perry Teasdale.
