The Craft of the Web.Artist: some considerations
by Regina Célia Pinto
(Translated from Portuguese into English by Sabrina Gledhill)
"web.artist = a small cyberfish in a big electric pond." [Jessica Loseby -
http://www.rssgallery.com/ ]
"web.artist = p[erformative.techne.p]lay+curiosity" [MEZ -
http://www.hotkey.net.au/~netwurker/ ;

Much has been said and debated about the craft of the web.artist, but I have
never found a paper that organizes or establishes standards for that craft.
Ever since I launched my project, " The Craft of the Web.Artist: Some
animated considerations," I have been trying to gather information on the
subject. In a paper titled "The craft of the ethnographer, sociological
method" (1902) [1], Mauss informs us that documents, witnesses and authentic
facts abound, and that a scientist must be a good observer, separating the
wheat from the chaff. This is what I have been trying to do, while using my
personal experience as a guide. In this article, I will attempt to give a
critical interpretation of what I' ve been feeling, reading and observing,
in plain language.
