A4N #3: Heath Bunting: Friday 10th November 2000 at 7pm
Heath Bunting emerged from the 80's committed to building open/ democratic
communication systems and social contexts. He came from the street up,
passing through and often revisiting graffiti, performance, intervention,
pirate radio, fax/ mail art and BBS systems to become an active participant
in the explosion of the Internet.
He has produced many Internet projects, some highly recognised and has
helped form a strong context for the practice of net.art. Recently, he has
moved into the field of genetics proclaiming it to be the next "new media",
and is also making steps towards producing work within financial networks,
believing money to be the ultimate media for artistic practice.

A4N #4: James Stevens: Friday 24th November 2000 at 7pm
James Stevens has been one of the driving forces behind BACKSPACE since it
was established in 1995. "I am most interested in the setting for practice
whatever form that takes, the sense of space that can be achieved through
the arrangement of social, structural and creative forces either in a
physical location or as conditions for abstraction."  Current projects
include CONSUME and RADIOSPACE. "Life makes most sense to me when operating
with some raw materials a [-n under the] counter-commercial objective and in
a fresh social environment. The net is so much more than it's latest fad, we
must keep a broad view of where our actions can be effective and impressions
persistent. "

A4N #5: Anna Best: THURSDAY 30th November 2000 at 7pm
Anna Best has developed a live art practice based on collaboration with
other people and an investigation into the local.  Recent commissions

Bingo Hall with Camden Arts Centre.  She has participated in a number of
experimental artists' projects such as 'bcnsfld' at Beaconsfield in London

BBC Online 'Art for Networks'
Part of BBC Online's 'Artzone' category, 'Art for networks' is an enquiry
into a range of art practices that are 'networked', or have distributed
authorship, collaborative working methods, that form social networks or
develop independent technical infrastructures.

An archive of interviews with featured artists will be accessible through
the BBC Online 'Art for Networks' website. (Details of launch to be
announced.)
