Globalisation
and the dominance of global culture over local spheres
is shaping up to be one of the major issues of 21st
Century culture. The transfer of capital and resources
and implementation of global policies by trade bodies
and monetary funds such as the World Bank, the International
Monetary Fund and the International Trade Organisation
has led to a global culture whereby nation states are
in many respects governed by the economic policies of
these chief lending and trading organisations and the
richest, most technically developed and resourced nations
based in the Northern Hemisphere. The question is how
do media arts practitioners and cultural workers figure
in the new global economy? Are the transfer of media
arts skills penetrating arts practice on a global scale?
Are media artists embracing the tenets of globalisation
in their practice, or are they using their practice
and networks to dissect, resist and re-work the dictates
of globalisation and a homogenised global media culture.
Many articles in this issue seek to directly address
these issues.

articles
The
same kinds of forces which drive globalisation,
such as the internet and computer mediated communications,
are also creating new spaces for collaboration;
collaboration across both distances and disciplines.
The following articles are a direct result of
this, designers/artists and writers working the
same material to make the articles more than an
online version of a printed magazine.
Each
article opens in a new browser window and is designed
to be read off the screen. You can access versions
that contain the straight text of each piece which
are suitable for printing or for text reading
software . They also open in a new browser window.
Enjoy!
