Or/and, the tasks at hand, may simply be the promotion of concerns and
localities (irregardless of their digital component) that have usually
lain beyond centrist, old artworld venues. By exclusively promoting the
"new expressive potential of the medium," we run the real risk of merely
perpetuating and regressing to past authoritarian hierarchies. I favour
the idea of the Net as a Voice more than a medium.
