Initiative] Robbin Henderson, Director
of the Berkeley Art Center in California, was
selected as our guest curator for Curatorial
Initiatives 2003. This is the first time she
has curated for the Internet. Through her research
she discovered that the most compelling aspect
of the Internet is not the imagery but its ability
to convey information globally. (This project
is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts,
a Federal Agency and the Starry Nights Foundation,
the Tides Foundation and the friends of the Alternative
Museum.) <CLICK
