LESSON STALLS: LEARNING NET
Torsten Zenas Burns and Darrin Martin
Burns and Martin began their collaborations in the video and
sculpture programs at the School of Art and Design at Alfred
University. Together they have based their single-channel
videotapes and interactive media works on their research into
diverse speculative fictions and re-imagined educational
practices. In "Lesson Stalls: learning net" Burns and Martin
establish an online training complex in which "classroom
sessions" investigate the philosophical and technical aspects
of an intra- and extraphysical society.
VERNACULAR LIVE FROM ELECTRONIC AMERICA
Beth Coleman and Howard Goldkrand
Beth Coleman and Howard Goldkrand's work combines
electronic media installation, sculpture, performance, and a
conceptual art practice. They address the aesthetic issues
raised by new media in making work that explores information
technologies. "Vernacular" is a software android and multi-
media performance instrument driven by the idea that new
media interface culture inspires new means of information
exchange, furthering the artists' investigation of
"cultural alchemy."

GALAXY
Tony Martin
Tony Martin is a visual composer whose work explores
diverse applications of light and image. Martin's early works
of the 60s were created in collaboration with The San Francisco
Tape Music Center, NYU Intermedia Department, and
Experiments in Art and Technology. Extending Martin's early
explorations of interactivity into a new medium, "Galaxy" is a
Web-based light and sound "cyber sculpture" where elements
of varying light intensity, placement, and motion are determined
by the user.
