The Walker Art Center invites you to participate in an online exploration
of art and the digital age.

The Shock of the View: Artists, Audiences, and Museums in the Digital Age
September 22, 1998-March 16, 1999

The Walker Art Center, in association with the Davis Museum and Cultural
Center, Wellesley College, the San Jose Museum of Art, the Wexner Center
for the Arts, The Ohio State University, and Rhizome, announces a six-month
online project that explores the similarities and difference between "old"
art practices and "new " digital work.

Shock of the View begins with online exhibitions--"object lessons"--that
pair works of art or performances from a museum collection with digital
works of art.  Every three weeks new work will be added, organized around
the broad themes of object, space, performance, and the hybrid.
Commentaries by invited curators, artists, educators, and critics and an
ongoing listserv will explore the ways digital media impacts artists,
audiences, and museums.

An abbreviated  list of participants includes: Mark Amerika, Simon Biggs,
Natalie Bookchin, Kathy Brew, Toni Dove, Timothy Druckrey, Richard Flood,
Jennifer Gonzalez, Ken Goldberg, Rachel Greene, Diane Gromala, Bill
Horrigan, Steven Johnson, Sandy Stone, Mark C. Taylor, Laura Trippi, and
Benjamin Weil.

We welcome your participation and hope you will join the discussion.
