ebr hosts a prominent and largely spontaneous series of debates on electronic textuality, cyberculture, and digital design literacy in scholarly and critical writing. Some popular threads include Image and Narrative, Music/Sound/Noise, Web Arts, and Critical Ecologies. The recently launched 4.0 version of ebr features a newly designed interface and database developed under the direction of long-time ebr design editor Anne Burdick. Now you can weave or thread your way through the ebr network gathering. The "Histories of Internet Art: Fictions and Factions" site tracks the early (and continuous) developments in the net art scene. Built by students in the TECHNE initiative at the University of Colorado in Boulder, the 3.0 version of the site features a new backend database. HIAFF features email conversations, video interviews, and streaming media performances with some of today's most important net artists including Erik Loyer, Giselle Beiguelman, DJ Spooky, Donna Leischman, Mark Napier, Cory Arcangel, and Young Hae-Chang. Virtual Imprints is the live archive of the early Alt-X files. When Alt-X started its breakthrough net operations in 1993, we featured many areas of creative investigation including "Interzones," "Manifesto Destinies," and "Dirty Desires." Early web pioneers featured in the various folders located in the Virtual Imprint archives include Mark Amerika, Steve Shaviro, Matthew Fuller, Sadie Plant, Hakim Bey, Critical Arts Ensemble, Marcos Novak, Eugene Thacker, Gashgirl, and Gomma. Also available here is "In Memoriam to Postmodernism"... Alt-X, now celebrating over 10 years of web life, is sponsored by the Alt-X Digital Arts Foundation. One of the premiere web sites devoted to supporting experimental art and writing, Alt-X is known internationally as a place where "the digerati meet the literati." One need only look at the depth and breadth of the projects featured on the site, as well as the various artists and writers who contribute their unique visions to our growing content base, to see that we are a major hub in the web of online cultural experience.
