| 1991-2003 | FELIX: A JOURNAL OF MEDIA ARTS AND COMMUNICATION e-felix.org The first issue of FELIX: A JOURNAL OF MEDIA ARTS AND COMMUNICATION was produced and edited in 1991. FELIX was created as a forum where media artists (both emerging and established) could write about their work, and their working processes. The goals of FELIX are to expose and provide critical reflection on issues affecting the digital arts community and media arts practice, sharing ideas, tools and technology, and to promote the works of digital artists internationally. Nearly twelve thousand copies of five issues of FELIX have been distributed to date, to artists, museums, universities, curators, and collectors. FELIX has been added to the permanent library collection of major cultural institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. FELIX has been enthusiastically received and critically praised in several publications: Mediamatic, the British Variant magazine, and Utne Reader – which nominated FELIX for “The Best New Small Press Publication.” FELIX is used as a primary text by educators in schools throughout U.S., such as Princeton University, Chicago Art Institute, UC at San Diego, and New York University. FELIX is distributed internationally by Autonomedia. FELIX now will be produced as a biannual publication. Initially FELIX was started as an annual publication until 1995 when Congressional cuts to the National Endowment for the Arts forced FELIX to re-establish a new funding base. This has been accomplished. |
