Roberto
Simanowski explores the deep meaning and comic
effects of animated pictures in this prizewinner of
the '98 "net_award" (sponsored by the
Saarländer Stadtwerke). The review discusses
the impressive transformation of an image into a
sculpture of Paris, that at one moment looks like
Cary Grant and at another like Discobolus,
considers the distortions produced by word, image,
and sound, and examines how the submerged image of
a corpse reveals that the author is not interested
in serious discussion.

Roberto
Simanowski reviews this interactive
writingproject (prizewinner of the '99
Ettlingen net-literature competition) reports one
reader's experience with this piece of
collaborative writing and examines the following
issues: the fetishism of association as a
competitive principle in the information age; an
analogy between this writing project and Jean
Paul's idea of an all-embracing wit; the
association of words as an association of
authors.

Essay by
Roberto Simanowski about Jürgen Daiber's and
Jochen Metzger's "Trost der Bilder"
(Pegasus-Pricewinner 1998), which shows that this
piece inhabits some well done alliances between
word and animated pictures although the whole fails
as a concept.

Christiane
Heibach discusses Amerika's attempt to turn an
aesthetical theory into a piece of art, and takes
his failure as a warning not to employ excessive
self-reference in the field of
netart.
