  BOULDER, Colorado (January 23, 2002) -- The Alt-X Network, "where the

  interviews with international net artists including Mark Napier, Young
  Hae-Chang Heavy Industries, Ben Benjamin of Superbad, Melinda Rackham, Lev
  Manovich, Giselle Beiguelman, Heath Bunting, John F. Simon Jr., Erik Loyer

  net-based art works, a section devoted to net theory, and a survey of the
  new work being created by students working in the recently created TECHNE
  lab. This easy-to-navigate site with its stunning design and exploratory
  content is produced by undergraduate and Graduate students inside the
  University of Colorado's Department of Fine Arts in conjunction with the

  writing sites on the net. It began as a gopher site back in early 1993 and
  has since produced and distributed a vast array of content including the
  Hyper-X online exhibition space, an artist ebook series, the "ebr" new
  media forum, Alt-X Audio, Black Ice fiction, and various live net events.
