"Mez does for code poetry as jodi and Vuk Cosic have done for ASCII Art: Turning a great, but naively executed concept into something brilliant, paving the ground for a whole generation of digital artists." (Florian Cramer)

Following her remarkable residency that utilised the New Media Scotland Twitter stream in July 2008, we commissioned Netwurker Mez to create a new eight part piece of work especially for the Alt-win.ning event.

We are delighted that cellist Peter Gregson played four pieces from his new work 'factory' at our Cryptic Nights event. Commissioned by New Media Scotland, this premiere performance of the work accompanied a networked dance piece choreographed by Sue Hawksley in response to Distance Lab's Mutsugoto. Peter wore Aeolia stretch sensor wearables developed for him by Sarah Kettley.

Digital culture is pervasive and ever evolving. The Alt-w Fund supports experimentation with new media, as both artistic subject and as creative tool. The focus for 2008/09 was to support projects which dynamically engage audiences beyond the traditional screen.

Alex Hetherington, Benjamin Dembroski, Distance Lab, Emma Tolmie, FOUND, Wendy McMurdo & Paul Holmes, Sarah Kettley, Thomson & Craighead, ~ in the fields.

This exhibition reflects our information-rich world where attention is a commodity. As consumers we filter, as creators we share. In response, we forge new paths. These artists engage with these accelerated times and its dispersed networks of communication.

Photographer Wendy McMurdo focuses on the relationship between technology and identity expressed through the images and ideas of childhood. She looks at the psychological world of children and young people, both as a protected space and, increasingly, as a ground for marketing wars and a prematurely forced adulthood.

Explore a snap-shot of new media practice and creative engagement with digital culture, as seen through the lens of the Alt-w award. Since it's establishment the fund has supported a formidable alumni of practitioners in their exploration of new ideas and new technologies.

Initially concerned with the emerging medium of the world wide web, these projects now represent the wider evolution of digital culture. From pure research to dynamic production, the range of ideas and depth of enquiry reasserts the vibrancy of experimentation in Scotland.
