>This discussion stems from an earlier policy session held at Artists
>Space on November 13th, Artists Space, moderated by Joy Garnett and Bill
>
>Jones (see below for participants).  The aim of the session was to
>provide an arena in which to discuss the career opportunities for
>artists working in digital and other technologies, and to consider
>whether the existing models are satisfactory. Are alternative spaces in
>New York and much of the U.S. lagging behind our European counterparts
>in the presentation and discussion of work in new media?  How do artists
>
>working in these media find representation in the commercial sector?  If
>
>we are not satisfied with the current situation, how do we bring about
>change? Are there new models that we should examine?
>
>At the November 13th session, the emphasis for discussion was on the
>artist, and particularly how the needs of those using digital
>technologies are different from the needs of artists working in
>traditional media.
