The archive of the magazine, Radical Software, documents a short period in
time when video art emerged alongside the technology of video itself, almost
simultaneously.
There are many parallels with our own recent times, substituting the network
and network art for video.
What is scary is, I think, how the possibility of a publication like Radical
Software has totally disappeared. To be replaced, perhaps, by a mailing list
like Rhizome. Will Rhizome be loving catalogued and republished in thirty
years time? I doubt it somehow.
Cheers,
Ivan
