Blogs have replaced home pages as the favoured online format, visiting Internet culture expert Geert Lovink told an audience at the University of Sydney.
"People don't have home pages anymore - if you want to go on the net and you want to do something … you establish a blog."
Lovink cautioned against equating blogs to the news industry and comparing bloggers to "citizen journalists".
"Remember the number one topic in blogging is cats" he said. "Blog culture is not by definition, and cannot be regarded as, anti-establishment… Mere empowerment does not automatically lead to worthy content."

For the 52nd Annual International Art Exhibition known affectionately as the 2007 Venice Biennale, Art Radio WPS1.org will once again moor its Broadcast Barge—a floating and fully-equipped broadcast station and Internet hub, lushly furnished VIP lounge, and catered party headquarters—on the Venetian waterways. This was a big succes in 2005 (see photo).
Art Radio will be the exclusive source for festival news, reports on Venice culture, interviews, discussions, unmoderated gossip, music, historic audio, and special surprises.
The station will broadcast six full days, 24 hours a day from 4-10 June—on the Web and on local FM in Venice.
Live programs that air in the middle of the night in the US and other time zones will be automatically archived for on-demand listening. So you really won't miss a thing!
Art Radio WPS1.org will broadcast on 101 MHZ in Venice (signal licensed to Radio Base, www.radiobase.net, an established community news and information station in Venice), and overnight in surrounding regions on other frequencies (Venice, Treviso, and Padua from 22.30 to 06.30), in excerpts throughout the day on ControRadio Firenze.
Listeners also tune in to a parallel streamcast of the Venice programs by clicking on the Exibart.radio banner in the www.exibart.com site - Italy's main source of updates and information on the World of Art.
WPS1.org will carry all six days live from start to finish.
Special programming coordinated by Art Radio project partners Malo, Perna Foundation, and PAN | Palazzo delle Arti Napoli will compliment a wide range of programming including talk and music from Indonesia, Egypt, Jordan, Tunisia, Lebanon, Russia, Italy, Germany, South America and much more.

WPS1 Venice Interviews: Guerrilla Girls| Thursday, 24 May 2007 | |
| listen | listen with RealPlayer In full regalia of course, nom de guerillas Frida Kahlo, Kathe Kollwitz and Rose O'Neill sat down with our Jen DeNike and Peter Coffin. They didn't sink us, but there was turbulence. Since 1985 the Guerrilla Girls have been reinventing the "F" word--feminism--and exposing sexism and racism in politics, the art world, film and the culture at large. For the exhibition in Venice, Always a Little Further, curated by Rosa Martinez, they installed six 17-foot movie-style posters, taking on the Biennale itself, the museums of Venice, and other issues large, larger and largest... |

Between 1996 and 2005, the Edition + Artist Book Studio (E+ABS) brought together artists, writers, printmakers and bookbinders to explore the medium of print and the book in ways that challenged their conventional art practices.
This exhibition features around 90 of the printed works and artist books created under the direction of master printer, artist and lecturer Dianne Fogwell (also the exhibition curator).
It includes works by leading Australian artists, many of them new to the book or print medium, including Jason Benjamin, GW Bot, Fiona Foley, Euan Heng, Bruno Leti, Margaret Olley, Jorg Schmeisser, Udo Sellbach and Robin Wallace-Crabbe.
The works displayed range from folios of limited-edition prints to beautifully hand-printed and bound books in which images and text complement one another. The printing techniques used include etching, linocut, lithography and silkscreen. Some books are bound in traditional style, while others are folded concertina-style or into innovative forms, then boxed or wrapped and tied. Materials used include specialist and handmade papers, fine cloth and leather.
The groundbreaking E+ABS encouraged creative partnerships and collaboration between artists, writers and printers, allowing them the freedom to explore ideas and experiment with materials and techniques. The results are considered to be among the finest examples of the book arts in Australia.
The exhibition's title, 'How I entered there I cannot truly say', is from Dante’s Divine Comedy and is a tribute to the first book published by E+ABS, Udo Sellbach’s And Still I See It (1995), which used Dante’s text.
The exhibition will be complemented by a program of events including a symposium, tours, curator and artist talks, and a printmaking master class, as well as activities for school groups.
