Passing Parade

After repeated visits, the Internet assumes substance and duration - a Cyberworld as real as any experience.

The Internet's immediacy finds us networked in real time, death presented live while, like members of some electronic herd, we gaze curiously at the unfortunate.

 E-mail is a river of social artifacts, streaming images of amazing impossibilities, wondrous beauty, forbidden dangerous places - and dark threats, destructive viral code, Trojan intruders, impending disk formats at the whim of distant evil.

For ten years now e-mail, the Internet's handmaiden, has born endless pictures and stories, stuffing them unsolicited in our electronic letterboxes.

And what a ride! Often fake, always dangerous, never dull.

Through history recorded images brought home to the meek, by intrepid travelers, visions of unimaginable beauty or savagery. Not just the symbolism of wall art or frescos but renditions of nature's freaks or mans' great battles.

As any collector or hoarder knows, this river of electronic life should be sifted and stored on a hard disk - for a purpose unexplained ...
