1986 Decentralized Worldwide Mail Art Congresses Various international locations Various More than 80 conventions of mail artists held, celebrating and examining the meaning of mail art.
1986 "Planetary Network" Venice Biennale Tom Sherman, Don Foresta, and Roy Ascott, international commissioners Slow-scan TV, fax, and computer network project. Participants sent images and comments to Venice on the theme of World News, creating an experimental "news service" and reflecting on how these effect us.
Summer 1986 The Network Muse-Automatic Music Band Festival held The Lab, a converted church in San Francisco John Bischoff, Tim Perkis, and Chris Brown, organizers Minifestival devoted to automatic music bands featured different groups of composers performing, using different network architectures. A number of these composers joined together to form The Hub.
1986 "Ménage à Trois" Venice Biennale - Guggenheim Museum in New York - Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam Douglas Davis Live satellite and radio performance that linked the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, and the Venice Biennale. With the live satellite technology allowing narrative simultaneity and juxtaposition, this multi-levelled work employs the premise and structure of a mystery story to examine the role of the viewer in television culture and that of the video camera as witness.

A woman is killed in Venice, and the search for her murderer, spanning the three cities, provokes an inquiry into the veracity of the live image and the moral complicity of the viewer. Davis, as the accused man, pleads with television viewers to call in to clear his name. Three phone-in "witnesses" debate guilt, innocence, and the concept of the "reader" – in this case, viewer – as murderer. Following the telecast, the international audience participated in a live broadcast on National Public Radio, which addressed technology's mediating effect on public and private morality.		 W

Nov 1995 Ping Body Paris (the Pompidou Centre), Helsinki (The Media Lab) and Amsterdam (the Doors of Perception Conference) Stelarc
At the November 1995 Telepolis 'Fractal Flesh' event, Paris (the Pompidou Centre), Helsinki (The Media Lab) and Amsterdam (for the Doors of Perception Conference) were electronically linked through a performance website allowing the audience to remotely access, view and actuate Stelarc's body via a computer-interfaced muscle-stimulation system based at the main performance site in Luxembourg.

Although the body's movements were involuntary, it could respond by activating its robotic Third Hand and also trigger the upload of images to a website so that the performance could be monitored live on the Net. Web server statistics indicated the live event was watched worldwide.

During the Ping Body performances, what is being considered is a body moving not to the promptings of another body in another place, but rather to Internet activity itself - the body's proprioception and musculature stimulated not by its internal nervous system but by the external ebb and flow of data.

By random pinging (or measuring the echo times) to Internet domains it is possible to map spatial distance and transmission time to body motion. Ping values from 0-2000 milliseconds (indicative of both distance and density levels of Internet activity) are used to activate a multiple muscle stimulator directing 0-60 volts to the body. Thus ping values that indicate spatial and time parameters of the Internet choreograph and compose the performances. A graphical interface of limb motions simulates and initiates the physical body's movements. This, in turn, generates sounds mapped to proximity, positioning and bending of the arms and legs.

The Ping Body performances produce a powerful inversion of the usual interface of the body to the Net. Instead of collective bodies determining the operation of the Internet, collective Internet activity moves the body. The Internet becomes not merely a mode of information transmission, but also a transducer, effecting physical action.

The performance was carried out with the assistance of Gary Zebington (programming and graphics), Rainer Linz (sound design), Dmitri Aronov (Unix ping software), Mic Gruchy (video) and the Merlin crew in general. The artist has also consulted Adam Burns (Pegasus), Andrew Garton (Toy Satellite) and Andrew Pam (State Film Centre).		 W
