NEW ARTISTS & NEW WORKS
EAI is pleased to announce the addition of new artists and new works to the EAI distribution collection. A downloadable PDF Catalogue Update for Autumn 2002 will be available soon. For more information on the following artists and works, please see www.eai.org:
Carolee Schneemann is a groundbreaking performance and multi- disciplinary artist, who confronts sexuality, gender, and the social construction of the female body in her influential and provocative performances. EAI is pleased to distribute her most important works on video, including "Meat Joy" (1964) and "Up To and Including Her Limits" (1976), among others.
Ken Jacobs, an essential figure in American avant-garde cinema, has recently been exploring digital technology and the electronic image. EAI is pleased to distribute his powerful new video works, including his personal documentary response to September 11th, "Circling Zero: Part One, We See Absence" (2002).
Pioneering videomaker and sculptor Lynda Benglis produced an important body of performance-based tapes that address female sexuality and the representation of women. EAI is pleased to present these seminal feminist videotapes of the 1970s, including "Now" (1973) and "Female Sensibility" (1973), among others.
Also included are new works by Phyllis Baldino, Kristin Lucas, Chip Lord, and Leslie Thornton, as well as recently released works from the 1970s by Terry Fox and Michel Auder, including his epic journal "Chronicles Family Diaries" (1970-73).

NYCMA is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 12 6 pm. 45-12 Davis St. (off Jackson Avenue) Long Island City, NY (718) 472-9414
ARTISTS’ WEB PROJECTS: BETH COLEMAN & HOWARD GOLDKRAND OF CULTURAL ALCHEMY AND TORSTEN BURNS & DARRIN MARTIN
EAI is pleased to announce a new initiative for the creation of innovative digital artworks for the Web. Supported by a grant from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, EAI is working with artists to create and present online projects that explore the potential of digital media as a vehicle for creative discourse and practice.
The following projects will be launched on EAI’s Web site in December:
"Vernacular Live from Electronic America" by Beth Coleman and Howard Goldkrand of Cultural Alchemy is a software android driven by the idea that new interface culture inspires new means of information exchange. Functional as a stand-alone application, a Net-based tool, and a multi- media performance instrument, Vernacular furthers the artists’ investigations of the practice of "cultural alchemy."
In "Lesson Stalls: learning net" by Torsten Burns and Darren Martin, the artists establish an online training complex dedicated to the philosophical, technical and practical aspects of an intra- and extra- physical society. Engaging in diagrammatic mobile interfaces and testing paradigms, this work will allow participants to access examples of training techniques in parapsychology.
