NOW SHOWING

Wigged.net is now international in scope!  Check out featured artists in
the new issue of Wigged.net(October/November 2000):

Jody Zellen's  Ghost City.
A website that focuses on the representation of the city by the mass media.
It uses the space of the web as a sculptural space, allowing viewers to
interact with animated graphics to delve deeper and deeper into an
imaginary city.  2000. United States.  Visit the "Now Showing" page at
http://www.wigged.net

Motomichi Nakamura's Qrime.
Many of the fundamental motives behind the social problems of violence in
primitive societies seem to be still effective in our time. By depicting
each theme from an aggressively new, digital visual  style our goal is to
relate the contemporary viewer to the inalterability of his own humanness.
2000. Ecuador.  Visit the "Now Showing" page at http://www.wigged.net

Oksana Chepelyk's Evidently Inevitable.
A video showing only the macroplans of a girl face telling about her first
sexual experience. 2000. Ukraine. Visit the "Now Showing" page at
http://www.wigged.net

Judy Haselhoef's Respectus.
An 8-minute video that documents the interaction between 40 grade-school
children and five senior citizens in the community of Metamora, Illinois.
Its subject matter, respect, is a human behavior that often eludes us and,
yet, understanding its concept transcends geographic boundaries. 2000.
United States. Visit the "Now Showing" page at http://www.wigged.net

Alysse Stepanian's The Field.
Stepanian writes, "'The Field" evolved from a dream in which I encounter
myself and someone from the past in a field.  By invading my body I connect
with the outside world, and by encountering the 'other,' I understand
myself and realize experience."  1999. United States. Visit the "Now
Showing" page at http://www.wigged.net

Paul Goodman's Mirror Images.
In this type of sound composition, Goodman writes, the "sound material can
come from anywhere, regardless of its origins as long as it is expressive
and its technical quality is acceptable....The sounds were conceived of as
"magnetic fields" (in the sense in which Andre Breton and Philippe Soupault
used it) which held aural and visual associations.  The sound fields
overlap each other and therefore by operating upon the one we could lead it
in the direction of other sound fields creating associative complexes."
1999. Netherlands. Visit the "Now Showing" page at http://www.wigged.net

Gary Setzer's Untitled.
While the history of art is sure to provide abundant examples of how
potraiture can be explored with color and line, this humorous video
suggests an alternate (and rather unorthodoxed) methodology for "composing"
the contours of the face. <I>2000. United States. Visit the "Now Showing"
page at http://www.wigged.net
