Artistic Vision
last revised November 20, 2003

The commercialized mass culture of television, video games and pop music over-stimulates our senses and under-stimulates our minds. It accustoms us to watch passively rather than to participate. It seldom represents us and very often de-legitimizes us. It numbs us to our artistic potential. I believe that creating active, grassroots artistic communities is a vital project for the revitalization of our culture.

The Internet offers some promise for this project. A growing number of artists are taking advantage of the Internet to publish ourselves and create global, grassroots artistic communities. This web site was created using free Internet service, $13/month hosting, and minimal domain registration costs. If you're an artist and want to know how to do something like this yourself, e-mail me! I'll be happy to pass on what I know. If you're an artist and have your own site, and would like to exchange links with me, e-mail me! I'm interested in reading your work and sharing feedback, and hope you will want to do the same. Let's create a network!

This whole site is a "work in progress," and nothing you ask or share with me will offend me. Give me your feedback, thoughts, questions, ideas!
