TUGweb
INGWILL GJELSVIK & TED WARNELL

TUGweb
is a Web site -- a magazine -- an art project -- and more -- and all the work of one Ingwill Gjelsvik (and many talented associates) in Oslo, Norway.

TUG is a powerhouse publication of new media art, theory, technology, philosophy, Net culture, fascinating future speculation by invited guests, and a healthy dose of good humour. Print version of TUG is beautiful -- in quality of content, design, and production.

I have first-hand experience with the TUG projects; it is my privilege to participate with works in both Web and print versions of TUG in 1998.

It is with great interest I receive news of Ingwill's newest TUG ventures, and my great pleasure to be able to pass it along to Zn readers. Enjoy... and please be sure to look in to learn more about how you can participate at TUG...

Subject: Welcome to the new TUGweb

Hello -
It's a new year so the TUGweb is new as well.

This is a message for you - whether you've been here before or not.

The TUG site recreates itself as a two-way portal where Art may confront and co-operate with other disciplines in order to envision and influence future society. Check out http://www.powertech.no/tug/

TUGlinks
The newest news right now is TUGlinks: a seriously long list of Art related links, organised according to theme and/or subject.

TZONE - online magazine
TZONE is the new TUG online magazine. It will be updated every Monday with TUG's favoured site of the week. TZONE will take the form of "a tiny weekly magazine" as a familiar channel for unknown messages. TZONE has room for both visual and textual experiences.

This Monday, TZONE will be empty, so concentrate on TUGweb, get to know it and get involved. Then come back next Monday - new news - watch out.

TZONE calendar
TZONE calendar will keep you posted on whatever else is new, online or otherwise.

So, what is the "theme" for TZONE?
The Millennium - yes - I know - it has a synthetic taste........... For starters, ChiefTUG has selected a bunch of millennium/anti/future sites, with no favourite at this time. But right now it does awaken my curiosity, hopefully my consciousness is following, and yours as well.

TZONE needs YOU!
TZONE wants your reflections and statements. Let's make plans - together - 20 seconds into the future.

Your contribution can take many forms: news bits, information, articles, interviews, facts, art projects, advertisements, comics, good/hot tips, letters, reports, you name it! Together, we will make TZONE an exciting site to visit. There is no limit to contributions, but the editors reserve the right to edit the material. TUGheadquarters is open to suggestions and will answer any questions you may have.

TUG Magazine Online
TUG Magazine goes online: issue 1 New Stimuli is available right here, right now. This is the complete online version of the 100-page print magazine (of which copies are still available, mail TUG here <tug@powertech.no> for details).

A new TUG art project will be announced WWAR (Whenever We Are Ready).

In the meantime, we will concentrate on expanding the Links page and maintaining TZONE.

ChiefTUG is interested in general feedback on this project, as well as tips on interesting links, email addresses and so on.
