I/O/D I/O/D is a new interactive multi-media e-zine. Distributed free over the networks, small and perfectly deformed it creates high density chaos in a confined space. I/O/D investigates traces of linearity, anti-linearity and straight talking by ex-humans who: Destroy dogmatic language systems on a regular basis. Produce mind-curdling animations or quick time movies. Make unearthly noises, loops, samples. Rant like old testament prophets with bio-electrical implants. Issue One includes: 'Eschatology' by Mark Amerika, a frenetic collapse of previously discrete narratives which finds Madonna and Nikolai Tesla fighting their way out of each other's skins. 'Black Capital' by Stephen Metcalf is a convulsive reading of Burroughs that traces the trade routes of disintegration. 'Aggressive Listening' by Scanner is a random archaeology of the telephonic voice, seeping sporadically into your cranium. 'Filth' by Graham Harwood is a bug-eyed sequence of graphics that drags the digital into the bacterial and back. Future issues will include material by: VNS Matrix, Critical Art Ensemble, Sadie Plant, Tommaso Tozzi I/O/D is produced by: Simon Pope and Colin Green of Cactus Interactivity and Matthew Fuller, a syntactically incorrect being. Instructions for use: (Requires Macintosh, 8m RAM & Quicktime) The archive file is a BinHexed self-expanding archive. Download the file i_o_d_one.sea.hqx as text. Some ftp applications will automatically decode the BinHex for you. If this is not the case, use BinHex 4.0, Compact Pro or Stuffit Expander to decode the file. Then double-click on "i/o/d.sea" to decompress the application and support files. Once this is accomplished, double-click on the "i/o/d [one]" application to begin. Once open, navigation is via a transparent map overlay (gold color) that moves when "dragged" (when the mouse button is pressed and the mouse moved simultaneously). Simply "drag" the map across the screen to reach the next "destination" button. Don't worry, you'll figure it out eventually. Write to: I/O/D, BM Jed, London, WC1N 3XX, UK ifgraphics@gn.apc.org
