From the Editor:

 

Welcome to the February, 2000 issue of the Arts4All Newsletter.

The Renaissance took place once, in Europe centuries ago, and some say it's being reborn (ahem) now. Look at its roots in Medieval illuminated manuscripts, read a timeless poem, find out what the government is doing to seed a new Renaissance, and what one painter now thinks the painters then had up their sleeves. Travel the very up-to-date web in search of information on our predecessors, and muse on repetitions. If you get tired on your journey, find out about exhibitions and performances to restore your vim. AMC

 


Kristin Redpath on Art and Technology
Part One

Art and Technology [Part Two]

 

by Kristin Redpath

Her look at Medieval illuminated manuscripts allows Kristin Redpath to describe what was there before it was all reborn. It turns out those Ages may not have been altogether Dark.

And those huddled scribes in the cloisters did not invent the art, either. Artists of ancient Egypt learned how long before. Today, the traditions continue.

A Poem by Barbara LeBel

Think road trip.

Memos from the World:

 

On TOP of the World

by David K. Roland

It takes seeds to make things grow. It even takes a kind of seed - a wiggly kind - to make a baby grow. Which is how things get born. Which has to happen before something can be re-born. So here are some seeds.

 


 

Smoke and Mirrors

by Alberta Moraine

As to whether optical devices helped some of the great European painters be great, I try not to get too upset one way or another. Didn't George Harrison remind us once that it's all Maya, anyway?

All the Time in the World

 

by Anne M Carley

We speak of turning away from old-fashioned reality, away from analog forms of knowledge and its storage - in books, for example - toward the evanescent, unlimited atmosphere where information lives. Not so fast: visitors to London's British Library can turn the virtual pages of digital facsimiles of the earliest extant European illuminated manuscripts. Cutting-edge technology is employed to provide more people with a lifelike experience of manuscripts far too precious and rare in their original form to withstand the traffic
