		<description>Hello Mr. Armour,

I&#039;m Fabio Paris the owner of Fabio Paris Art Gallery, based in Italy.
I&#039;m sorry with you, but I don&#039;t have your email address, so I use your
blog for keep in touch ywith you.

In these days I read an article from Wall Street Journal Europe
http://europe.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204619004574318373312061230.html

and in this article I read:
&#039;Private collector Theo Armour has recently started buying net.art, he says, because he senses 
the chance to participate in a new artistic development, similar to invention of important art 
forms such as cubist art. &#039;.

It&#039;s an emotion for me read a similar reflection about New Media Art so my brief consideration
declared on a book/catalogue exhibition edited from us in occasion of a New Media Art exhibition 
last April 2008 in Bruxelles (Belgium) http://www.fpeditions.com/libri/schedaholyfire.html
In these book I wrote:
&#039;New Media Art is to the digital revolution as Impressionism is to the industrial revolution. A new era is coming, and this is just the beeginning&#039;.

And it&#039;s curiosu to find another &#039;mind&#039; in the other part of the world who pull out similar interests.

The Fabio Paris Art Gallery selects and presents works that talk about the present: in a period when the relationship between man and the environment and culture is constantly being redefined by new discoveries, new technologies and new intellectual paradigms. 
The pervasive nature of popular subcultures (from manga to videogames); the exploration of new arenas for life and artistic activity, and new declinations of identity (from the internet to virtual worlds); the increasingly ambiguous relationship between the biological and artificial domains, and the consequent quest for a more immediate, direct, profound rapport with nature; the exploration of the aesthetic consequences of digital technology and the socio-cultural impact of the media, and the rediscovery of machine as metaphor, simulacrum or fetish, are but a few of the themes that form the basis of the gallery&#039;s work.

In these range of proposals, we work and rapresent some importants New media Artists.
- Gazira Babeli
- Eva and Franco Mattes aka 0100101110101101.ORG
- UBERMORGEN.COM

I ask you to keep in touch and if you wold like I present you the &#039;HOLY FIRE art in the digital age&#039;
book.

My best regards
Fabio Paris</description>

		<description>Some changes to the site:

I have updated the style sheet so that image captions are now displayed in Italics and are positioned closer to the image. This should help captions to be slightly more apparent. I have also updated the tool-tip so that it displays the your web site name.</description>

		<description>Hi Tjebbe

If you will kindly look at the post again, there is a caption under the picture that states: &#039;Portion of image on &quot;Imaginary Museum Projects&quot; by Tjebbe van Tijen&#039;

The image itself is a link directly to your web site.

BTW, While looking at your site, I looked for - but could not find - any copyright notice or Creative Commons attribution. You might consider adding something like this to provide guidance on how you would like your very handsome images to be treated by visitors.

So what more information would you like added to the caption? Or would you prefer that I not use anything from your web site?</description>

		<description>Mmmm i noticed my picture being on your blog... maybe it needs a caption... (because contextualization of references is an important thing in a free exchange... not so much copyright claims (ownership) but reference to a context will be the art we will need to learn)... Recently I made a series of small (quick &amp; dirty) scrolls for an expert meeting of the Dutch ministry of Justice who had invited me (to my great surprise) to give an introductory visual talk on copyright and copy wrong issues related to our digital realm)... the link included in this post point to an index page and the second scroll from the top when clicked will show the following quotation: &quot;Human beings are partakers of a common nature; what conduces to the benefit or pleasure of one man will conduce to the benefit or pleasure of another.(3*) Hence it follows, upon the principles of equal and impartial justice, that the good things of the world are a common stock, upon which one man has as valid a title as another to draw for what he wants. It appears in this respect, as formerly it appeared in the case of our claim to the forbearance of each other,(4*) that each man has a sphere the limit and termination of which is marked out by the equal sphere of his neighbour. I have a right to the means of subsistence; he has an equal right. I have a right to every pleasure I can participate without injury to myself or others; his title in this respect is of similar extent.&quot; This is William Godwin an English end of the 18th beginning of the 19th century writer and lawyer who has been a favorite of me for decades...
You find the quotation and its context on this weblink

So maybe this will help the discussion you are trying to raise.</description>

		<description>Fantastic article. I am a contemporary painter and never gave much thought to WebArt, but I can see that it will be something that has just intrigued me.
Thanks for this informative article.</description>

		<description>What wonderful work is being done here. Very thoughtful and with lots of thought provoking items. I am a contemporary artist myself and always enjoy seeing the art of fellow artists and join discussions about art. I just recently have started my own site and hope that over time it will grow into an online art community where artists and art enthusiasts alike can meet and discuss their thoughts on art. Will recommend your blog to my friends. Will come back for more and wish you all the best.

P.s. Wish you all the best for your future work.</description>

		<description>[...] Progressing from 8-bit/pixel art projects, we are moving onto re-hash work from the dot-come era. Triptych is data overload. Triptych is too much of a bad thing is a good thing. Triptych is de-construction with neither instruction nor construction. Triptych is your Triple-A journey to nowhere.  Tryptych just fits in to my definition of web art. There are links and they do take you to different pages. Three of the pages are empty profile pages for the authors and two other pages bring you to archived pages that re-hash the hash that the other pages had already re-hashed. Therefore the site is not just a digital video piece. It is interactive. It is built upon a Blogger account bludgeoned into submission to be outrageous.  Do I like it? Not really. Does it make a statement about this time period? Only time will tell. Will it cause furor/consternation and intellectual discourse. Probably not.  But it is Web Art. And any and all such experiments are to be applauded. One day there will be artists that will find the wormholes into new dimensions of art through the Internet. Triptych.tv is one of those first halting steps.  triptych.tv [via artofthenet] [...]</description>
