>What is the surplus of electronic aided art?
>What is it beside technic fascination?
>What means media artist- ist just because one uses electronic devices?

Media artist.. Maybe I will put it 'computer artist'. I see a strong 
difference in 'computer art' and 'computer aided art'. What is of most 
significance, I guess, is the art that could not have been made without 
computer generation, no matter the time factor.

Who am I ?
-----------
Alf Edgar, Born 1955, Norwegian, Photographer, have been doing 'fine' 
photography since 1976, 11 'one-man-shows' althogether in Norway,
Sweden,
Denmark, and have participated in other art-projects in England, Italy, 
Barcelona, Houston, Helsinki, Reykjavik.

Since last year I frequently find myself beside the computer as it is a 
useful 'tool'. Until now I haven't been too fascinated by 'computer art'
EXCEPT from its aspects of CONNECTIVITY. The power of telecommunication 
between artists.  

Due to this, I last week released my first electronic art project:
GRAB YOUR ERRORS, see information in my next posting.

The response to the project has been good, most of the responses coming
from artist in the US. Please tell me if you if images from this project
are interesting for HANDSHAKE, and I will send you some.
