"A range of international speakers will present a numbeer of
perspectives varying from notions of the gallery as electronic space on the
internet to ideas concerning virtual galleries modelled in cyberspace as the
ultimate touring show. Whether the viewer is immersed in a headset or in an
electronic cave, the significance of these new interfaces for art need to be
examined, not just as a technological matter but as a social and political
issue with far reaching implications for culture in general."
Kevin Atherton 1995
