Not a bad intro for those not familiar with whatever we're calling media art 
this month. I can't see what has triggered the article, it doesn't tie in to 
anything in particular and only refers to last year's exhibition? Which by the 
way Rob reviewed very eloquently for FF:

http://www.furtherfield.org/reviews/decode-digital-design-sensations-va

It is a shame that they've identified certain artists above others. But maybe 
that's also a good sign that there isn't necessarily a canon of great and good 
artists in the field yet. Sure, we all know about certain stars and those who 
have mastered the self-publicity machine but there's a chance that everyone can 
still have some relevance and importance in creating work within this area, 
regardless of how much funding they get.

My one disappointment is that the article comes from a Wired writer, rather 
than someone in the art world. There need to be more people writing about this 
stuff in an art context. But what the hell, when has that ever happened in 
mainstream papers?
