ANAT's Virogenesis project was conceived as 'a viral collision of some of the most extreme UK, European and Australian new media practitioners, curators, publishers and theorists'. Many Australian artists, students and cultural consumers do not have the opportunity to tap into the developing new media discourses and practices. Electronic art conferences are generally northern hemisphere based, expensive, elitist and often burdened by an over-abundance of presentations.
Virogenesis consigns the 19th Century academic model to the data trash pile, as it conceptualizes 3rd millennia means for sparking discourse and linking bio mind frames. Small, lean, flexible strategic interventions networked across cities and 'remotes'. Feral rather than domesticated takes on the new media.A national tour in 1995 brought to Australia:
UK multimedia artist, Graham Harwood;
UK sound artist/DJ, Scanner;
Writer, activist and publisher, Matthew Fuller; and
Italian internet activist and publisher, E. "Gomma" Guarneri.
