John Kilma is an early new media artist that was a
programmer and web designer by day, and used these tools of trade to create his
artwork. His Ecosystem, created in the year 2000 was a program that reflected
the world’s volality currency. His work reminds me of the Hunger Games, where
an entire eco system is created and manipulated by an outside source. Likewise,
Kilma’s Ecosystem changes based on the volatility of a country’s currency,
Where if it is thriving the flock (of birds, for example) fly freely in a
wide-open space. If the currency is fluctuating the flock becomes irritant and
flies in a much smaller space.

Like, many artists John
Kilma was clearly affected by what was going on at the time. The money markets
were fluctuating and many were starting to loose jobs. This was a fantastic way
to visually show the world what was happening and how rapidly it was changing.
He expressed the bad changes with darker colors and showed the good, thriving
currencies with brighter colors.

Alexei Shulgin is an early
new media artist from Moscow. His 2007 sculpture, called Urgently! Info
sculpture is a sculpture that demonstrates the disposal and quick recycling of
new and information placed on the Internet. The warped LED information scrolls
that are overflowing a garbage bin are warped the same way garbage is when it
is thrown away. You get the feeling that there is no foreground, middle ground,
or background it is all a big mesh, the way the information is on the net.
