In the spirit of open collaboration, several media artists from around the world have agreed to work together using open source blogging software to present and remix audio pieces, Flash animations, digital images, visual poetry and texts. The remix<\/em> can be viewed as an online journal of digital art and writing – alive and media rich. It is a place for discovery and exploration – we learn from one another. The remix<\/em> started in November 2006 and has grown to include over 300 individual works of media art. Most of the pieces use material already on the site. All source code is made available and each work references the source material. New material is sometimes posted, but it is usually related conceptually to other remix pieces.<\/p>\n Three members of the remix will present work developed from material on the blog. Entitled The Devil’s Rope Journal<\/em> (an irregular journal with barbs at regular intervals<\/em>), Randy Adams (Can), babel (Can\/UK) and Christine Wilks (UK) will screen, perform and discuss the material, which will include a CD pre-release.<\/p>\n Presenter Bios<\/strong><\/p>\n babel<\/a><\/strong> aka Chris Joseph is a British\/Canadian writer and artist who works primarily with electronic text, audio and image; editor of the post-dada magazine and network 391.org<\/a>, and a founding member of the 404<\/a>, a group of digital and traditional artists working with new medias and the internet. He is presently Digital Artist in Residence, Institute of Creative Technologies, De Monfort University, Leicester, UK.<\/p>\n crissxross<\/a><\/strong> aka Christine Wilks creates works for the web and occasionally live performance and installation. She also writes fiction, screenplays and has made a number of short films and videos. As a freelancer, she designs and produces e-learning resources and courses, and teaches creative media workshops.<\/p>\n
