Also attracting attention was ANAT’s new www. homepage designed by the ubiquitous Virtual Artists and cyberentrepreneurs Jesse Reynolds and Dave Sag.
ANAT also convened a special panel to discuss issues around artists’ use and development of technology. Chaired by multimedia producer Simon Edhouse the panel included presentations by Leigh Hobba, John McCormack and Josephine Starrs and stimulated a range of questions from the audience, which teased out ideas on the politics of authorship, relations between artists and the multimedia industry, intellectual property, moral rights of artists and copyright.
