* * * * [four stars]

Durational website. * * * * [four stars] was originally added a month at a time over the course of 1998. The long, continuous line was an innovative use of the space and illustrated, when given access to coding, what an artist might do. It also presented a bridge between the personally exposing material of my performance period and the more muted, distanced, elemental work of my digital output 1998–2006. * * * * [four stars] won a best-of award in the internet-forum at the COMTEC 98 Festival of Computer Art in Dresden and also a runner-up prize in the 1999 trAce/Alt-X International Hypertext Competition. The work was shown at a variety of online exhibitions: Through the Looking Glass – Digital Creativity At The Turn of the Millennium, Pixelated Performance, File, CYNETart, Sonar.
