New Criticals


Printed Web #1 is less anthology and more assemblage (Richard Kostelanetz's Assemblings were also direct inspiration here); there is no single web-to-print "movement." Rather, several territories mingle. Because of Schmid, Umbrico and Henner, a strong photographic idea inhabits the issue, as well as an experimental poetry presence, via Alexander, Goldsmith and Bök (even though his piece is a visual one). And a NYC/Rhode Island School of Design net art conversation opens up with the inclusion of Clement Valla and Benjamin Shaykin.
