MANIFESTO
150 years in development, the FAX machine has suddenly become an
ubiquitous tool in a technological society. Graphically linking
individuals and cultures around the globe, the FAX machine has
become another in a long list of human artifacts that is
simultaneously destroying and reinventing the order of nature.
Global technologies (transportation, distribution, communication,
etc.) subvert time and space as we have come known it by changing
relationships between people. Distances between individuals
collapse -- while societies are divided and fragmented. Natural
environments are destroyed -- yet new cultural landscapes are
painted. Polemically, access to these new "global" technologies is
anything but equal around the world. On the occasion of Earth Day,
April 22, ArtBase invites individuals to comment on the interaction
of various global technologies and the environments they destroy
and create.
Global technologies, such as FAX networks, are often thought of as
merely business tools. Yet, the FAX is also a new tool for media
artists and community activists. A large variety of image making
processes can be transmitted -- drawn, painted, printed,
zphotographed, xeroxed, collage, and text are all possible
source materials. Anyone with access to a FAX machine is encouraged
to participate in -- you do not have to be an "artist."
