http://www.xtec.es/~aardevolIntroduction:
What interests me is to compose the time in the way the space is made up, with forms. And how space is also configured through the sound. And as sound and forms in movement can create an expressive unit. And the way it can be related to the poetry that is done of words that elapse in the time but which also have forms. Forms that can be in movement accompanied by sound...
AUGUST HIGHLAND
http://www.august-highland.comMy name is August Highland. I produce work that brings together literature, art and technology.
My new series is printed on canvas. The compositional elements are text and the source material is from human DNA sequences. I am attaching a detail from the series called "Self-Complementary Microarray Translation." This piece contains the human DNA sequence from clone RP11-1086F11 on chromosome 1.

August Highland's Methodologyhttp://www.august-highland.com
All the compositional elements in August Highland's paintings are text; every sentence, phrase, word, part of a word, letter and part of a letter makes up every stroke and gesture in his visual work.
Using present day art materials, (technological tools), Highland "writes" the pieces rather than "paints" them. Without the use of commercial graphic software, he creates the visual work by typing computer programming language on the keyboard, viewing the work on the monitor, and ouputting the finished piece onto a 4-foot printer in his studio. When he is inputting data for an individual artwork, he is writing instructions for the placement of the text, what text to use, what color and size of text to use and what the overall dimension of the piece will be. Using digital tools that he developed independently, he can scale the work as small as a postage stamp or large enough to be installed on the side of a building.
Typically Highland produce 5-10 works in a series. Yet, each of the works is unique in that each one consists either of a different text source or a compositional arrangement or both. Highland produces his visual work in this way so that each piece is a single-edition and not a reproduction.
The reasons for Highland’s use of text as the exclusive compositional element in his visual work are several. The three principal reasons are: 1. To expand the conventional norms of written language and infuse it with expressive and kinetic energy; 2. To refer to the codework that underlies digital media and tech-art; 3. To assimilate into high-tech media the presence of human touch.
The name of Highland’s visual genre is “Alphanumeric Painting” or “Genre-Splicing” and at his <a href=”http://www.august-highland.com”>online studio</a> there is more information about his work and a gallery of works, past and present. He welcomes your comments, so feel free to contact him with any questions or inquiries.

DEENA LARSEN
I've been fascinated with the endless possibilities of new media and digital art and literature since before computers. I first started with Marble Springs (Eastgate Systems 1993), where readers can click on graveyards and empty town streets to find out who lived there and ferret out their connections. Then I found the joys of structure as metaphor and then imagery, sound, and so much more! My works and curriculum vitae are at http://www.deenalarsen.net. I have some easy introductions into this brave new world--come on in, the water is fine!

Isabel Aranda * Yto * / VISUAL & DIGITAL ARTIST
I began the digital art transforming images of my work in painting and drawing. Little by little I have gone away these images and my net.art's works has become small animations and experimentation pieces. I am also making longer works that I show offline because they are very heavy in MB, these continue the same spirit of the small animations.
I work from 1995 in the digital art, but I feel that it is only the beginning of many ideas that I want to develop. ***
I feel very attracted by the Ascii Art. It is the language that I am integrating to my last works. The main topic of my work is the human being, our physical condition, as first state that dominates our spiritual being and intellectual. From the beats of our heart to our external movements. Finally our thoughts and creativity. Our body, so vulnerable. of our body our spirit does depend? ***
Today many of the images that I am going discovering in the digital art, I am integrating them to my paintings and drawings.

JOESÉR ALVAREZ
I am Joesér Alvarez, media artist, Rio de Janeiro, 1962. I learned to draw very early. When I was 9 years old, I drew as Michelangelo, but I learned to paint very late - the 12 years old boy Picasso was much better than me when I was a 33 years old man. I learned sculpture working in an iron foundry; and engraving with some artists in Florence. I have worked with digital art since 94, and net.art since 2001. Currently interests me the conceptual questions of media art in cyberculture.
I live in the Amazonia's periphery, which is the Brazil's periphery. I worked during 11 years in the gold mines, I won some money "fighting bulls" the death many times, knowing it closely, by the smell and sometimes very very closely.
To know more about me, only interviewing me...; -)
A great hug to all!
Joe is very creative and surprising, he is the unique I know that being in Amazonia is able to draw directly in Dublin sky and then to dedicate that drawing to me.

MARCELO FRAZÃO
Master in Science of Art (Universidade Federal Fluminense). Graduated and Post-Graduated at the Escola de Belas Artes (EBA) of the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). He carried out the implementation of the workshop of Lithography at the "Escolinha de Arte do Brasil", where he taught and co-ordinated the Engraving Nucleus (woodcut, litography and etching) from 1994 to 1997. Currently he teaches Engraving at EBA, UFRJ and at Bennett - RIO DE JANEIRO. He has participated actively in individual and collective art shows in Brazil and abroad, being granted many awards. Participated in the 13ª Xylon (the Triennial International of Engraving-Switzerlandand ) and Mostra Rio Gravura. He was curator of the extinct Galeria SESC de Copacabana from 1996 to 2000. Since 1999 he directs the ATELIER VILLA OLÍVIA.
"In my work the drawing is materialized through the form. It was in this way, through experiences, that I arrived at a personal way to represent my emotions and perception of the world. Simplifying the form, I arrive at its minimum and even to at the abstraction, giving it a new sense, in this way, each observer decodes my works in accordance to his/her perception of the world. Thus, my idea turns into new ideas, new sensations. This happens in both my kind of works: analogical or digital."
MURIEL FREGA
Descubrí el mundo con el arte correo, las bibliotecas haciendo ex-libris, con la computadora me hice haragana y ahora ya no quiero limpiar pinceles cuando termino de trabajar, y así metí en el scanner todo lo que se pueda imaginar para hacer ilustraciones para niños.
También armé naipes interactivos, eróticos y comodines.
Pero no hay nada en la vida como el olorcito de la tinta para imprimir xilografías, o el ruidito que hace el lápiz cuando deja su huella en el papel.

PAULO VILLELA
Brazilian from Rio de Janeiro, just now I'm Paulo Villela, architect that after many years of work went aware of age and decided to dedicate exclusively to drawing, painting and, modern times, to all that in the virtual space. My magnetic north has been Regina Célia Pinto, artist whose knowledge, wisdom and infinite pacience shows me the ways in the web. After Regina another reference in my journey is Marcelo Frazão. Thanks.
It is very interesting a ride by the world of Paulo Villela!

REGINA CÉLIA PINTO
I am Regina Célia Pinto. I am Brazilian, and I was born and still live -
perplexed but with pleasure - in the splendid city of São Sebastião do Rio
de Janeiro. I'm a visual//web artist and researcher. As a visual artist, I have participated in several
exhibitions and curated several. My interest in web.art started in 1997.
I created and publish arteonline.arq.br which, since July 2001, turned into the Museum of the Essential and Beyond That, where I try to
work with virtual reality - in other words, with virtual architectures. I believe that one of
the good characteristics of globalization is it allows the exchange of
national and international artistic experiences. So that I created this newsletter. I hope it works in the way I have imagined and allows us to live the good aspects of globalization.URL: Library of Marvels
RICARDO BAEZ - DUARTE
My name is Ricardo Baez-Duarte. I am from Venezuela.
I do not consider myself an orthodox photographer. My camera,
computer and software are instruments of expression and search for my inner self through the analysis of the images.
Some times an image post processed has something essential from me,
about my fears, my joys and preocupations, sound strange but this is
my truth. The other face of this coin is the transmission of the message to another human being, to share with him these feelings, conclusions and thoughts, that is very rewarding.
By the way, I would like to share with you that one of Baez - Duarte's photos appears on the front cover of a magazine of digital art in Australia! Baez-Duarte photos are really astonishing!
