"This exhibition will attempt to present a comprehensive survey of the work of artists who are breaking down the borders or boundaries that define artistic practise in the 21st century."

"In tribute to Vuk Cosic, Steve Deitz was wearing a Deep Throat ASCII t-shirt, but that was one of the few really happy notes sounded at a panel discussion on the occasion of the opening of open_source_art_hack, the New Museum's latest installation in its Z Media Lounge, organized by Deitz, artist Jenny Marketou, and the Museum's Anne Barlow. The discussion touched on themes of visibility vs. security; the modern American security culture; the question of artists' activist responsibilities in that culture; and, most contentiously, the museum's viability as a forum for exhibition by artists trying to push the boundaries of legality and forge new artistic practices."

"THE THING in collaboration with r a d i o q u a l i a, and Jan Gerber started on May 5, 2002 to build a radio network in NYC using internet audio and miniFM. Initially the network will consist of 2-5 transmitters based around New York. Each of these transmitters will be less than 1W output and will source their audio live from the internet using the Frequency Clock scheduling system. This partly adopts the ethic of microradio as founded by Tetsuo Kogawa where many low powered FM transmitters are coupled to create an effective broadcasting entity that "falls beneath the radar" of the communication authorities. fm.thing.net combines this ethic with that of net.radio which is a relatively new phenomenon focusing on the use of the internet as a carrier signal and is best illustrated by the practices of the Xchange network. By combining the net.radio and microradio we hope to build an efficient radio network in New York that uses the internet as a primary carrier of the audio for re-broadcasting on legal or almost legal microFM broadcasts."
