Aspect is a biannual DVD magazine of new media art. The mission of the publication is to distribute and archive works of time-based art. Each issue highlights 5-10 artists working in new or experimental media, whose works are best documented in video or sound. Each work can be viewed with or without an additional commentator audio track."The body, actions, ideas and personas of the artist can now be expressed and explored in many subtle and evocative ways. The shifting perception of the role of the artist within the artwork, during and after its creation, has advanced in tandem with the exploration of motion, time, and interactivity in art. The artists in this issue appear in the artworks in vastly different ways"--Trade catalog.
