Check out this weblog by visual artist Tom Moody who will collaborate with artist Kristin Lucas at Fluent Collaborative's testsite in June! Kristin and Tom's dialogue about this collaboration is posted here. Based in New York City, Moody's weblog includes his critical writing, links and descriptions of works-in-progress - works which he describes as existing in the "lo-fi or abject end of the digital spectrum. . . made entirely with a humble pc and consumer printing equipment."
