The work in Taos Talking Pixels examines the dynamic relationship that exists between multimedia and film, and the fertile zone that develops when the two mediums overlap; the intersection between new technologies and contemporary art; and the exciting three-dimensional virtual worlds being created by emerging digital artists. Have fun with these works. These artists are both engaging the medium of large-scale web use, and fusing it with large-scale grass-roots political dialogue. Many of these are art sites as well as sites of social resistance against anti-democratic mono culture.

Taos Talking Pixels wants to thank the three curators who sought out, collected, and in some cases, helped develop this work.

Curator: Branda Miller  Branda Miller curates "Electronic Dreams of the Creatively Wired", by faculty, alumni, and students from the acclaimed iEAR program at Rensalear Polytechnic Institute

Curator: Kit Fitzgerald  Web Sites by Artists, Thinkers, and Tinkerers Kit Fitzgerald is a digital media and video artist teaching New Media at the College of Santa Fe. She returns to Taos Talking Pixels this year to curate a selection of digital work from American artists as well as digital visions from the next generation, her students from the College of Santa Fe.

Curator: John Alderman  John Alderman is a writer and former editor of HotWired online magazine living in the San Francisco area. He is at work on a new book on digital music and the net.
