But a network of museums and alternative spaces were once again critical sponsors, among them P.S. 1\/The Institute of Contemporary Art in New York, The Herbert F. Johnson Museum at Cornell University, and similar sites in Reykjavik, Iceland, and Warsaw.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Nikolay Matov worked closely with me at Lehman for more than one year on the design of all the major images and the layout of &#8220;BodyBodyBody&#8221; I have drafted and re-drafted his work and mine on Adobe PageMill 2.0 and Photoshop 4.0, programs I now use while sleeping to revise my dreams. During my two years of guest teaching at Lehman College\/CUNY in the Bronx I had the great fortune of working with Susan Hoeltzel, director of the Lehman Art Gallery on a series of events that turned this remote campus into a conceptual home for adventurous digital art and education. Jointly, we launched the Center for Long-Distance Art and Culture there. But our first effort, commissioned by Susan, was The World&#8217;s First Collaborative Sentence, by now nothing less than the &#8220;voice&#8221; of the world, as MetaBody may become its eye (carrying more than 150,000 well considered contributions at last count). Susan also paired me on that occasion with Gary Welz, co-designer of the Sentence, who taught me more about Webbery than anyone else could have, in 1994.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/u8\/MetaBody1.JPG\" title=\"Metabody part A\" width=\"253\" height=\"334\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/u8\/m2.gif\" alt=\"&quot;It is a feminist message that is politically incorrect: it says we like men, we want to fuck men. i'm not sure i have ever seen that in my life: enpowering women saying this is what i like. i've heard a lot of what we don't like, over and over again until i am sick. i know what women don't like. but i don't know what women like with men.&quot;\" title=\"Metabody\" width=\"224\" height=\"334\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Source:<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Museum\" href=\"http:\/\/www.afsnitp.dk\/udefra\/1\/dd\/museum.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">[1] http:\/\/www.afsnitp.dk\/udefra\/1\/dd\/museum.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Metabody\" href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/*\/www.ps1.org\/body\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">[2] http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/*\/www.ps1.org\/body<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","artist":[57],"streams":[11],"keywords":[2194,2195],"decade":[5543],"media":[5547,5548],"class_list":["post-2591","document","type-document","status-publish","hentry","artist-douglas-davis","streams-networks-surveillance-culture-jamming","keywords-metabody","keywords-museum","decade-1990s","media-image","media-text"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document\/2591","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/document"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document\/2591\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2591"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=2591"},{"taxonomy":"streams","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/streams?post=2591"},{"taxonomy":"keywords","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/keywords?post=2591"},{"taxonomy":"decade","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/decade?post=2591"},{"taxonomy":"media","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?post=2591"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
