Representatives from RTMark deliver the keynote address. This day asks whether net artists' opposition to capitalism is plausible or desirable in the current economic condition. A fresh and interdisciplinary approach is taken to this visual politics debate as economists, geographers, and writers add their views. Parallel sessions on globalisation and gender, culture and technology, astrology, and web site construction are also included. Newly restored and displayed for the first since the 1860's George Cruikshank's The Worship of Bacchus provides the intriguing subject of this study day.
