"Staying in to Play" by
John Paul Bichard
The variablemedia.org site presents the current artist's project
directly to the public, without an interface imposed by Variablemedia.
A separate site; http://www.variablemedia.info
provides explanatory material about current and past projects, links
to past projects and documentation or archives of those.
After remaining archived projects
will be removed from the Variablemedia server, leaving only the
descriptions of the works and links, where such exists, to their
new location. represents a last
chance to see some of the works produced in Variablemedia's first
year of residencies.
