Heiko, apologies for my facetiousness last night...I like this
online arts publication because of the variety of content in the
articles and the diverse geographies from whence they come.
While media can hardly be called unbiased, this journal provides
a good overview of what's going on as well as information on a
variety of topics, all art related without the distraction of
pretty pictures, and a scarcity of "artspeak."

I also like the format, one can scroll down and read what one
wants, or delve into the full issue.

Best,
PK

"New technology, art and ritual made possible the transformation to 
anatomically modern humanity. The requirement for these technological and 
behavioural "tools" seems to have been driven by a cold, dry period some 
340,000 years ago that led to expansionof the Kalahari Desert, which in turn 
broke up the forest land of southern Africa, causing big habitat changes and 
adaptive challenges for early human populations."

Wonder what anatomical changes our new technology is presurring our genes to 
make . .  . and art as a "behavioural tool", now I have to worry about what 
art's doing to my genes? . . . What a great ideology for a new art movement. 
Genetically friendly art. I like it. 

Advertising is not genetically friendly! I'm suing.

I went to one of those caves in France, not Lascaux (spelling?) the most 
famous one, it was off limits, but another one nearby. It's so amazing to 
wander through this chilled dark cave and see the paintings flickering on the 
walls. Feels like walking through the species' unconscious.

I also liked the aritcle on DuChamp . . . his lack of emotion has always 
bothered me. He's been the pea under my mattress . . .

Patricia, I did take a look, and the thing on the 400,000-yr-old pigment
finds was great. The range of color, that it was apparently used as body
paint, the fact that painting predates the physical evolution of the
species--all very interesting! Now I want pictures of the various
colors-yellow, light red, dark red, pink, purple, black. Stylin!

The worth is in the content and needs no explanation.  Check it
out.  You've got to get out of that magicword mindthink, Heiko,
(YOU are the magician, ; ) and on to the yellow brick road.

Peformance:

double click link above with mouse, repeating seven times, "I am
the magician."

read what you wish, if not enough magic does happen to pique your
interest , "close your eyes, make a wish, hit delete."
