Bowie has posted his next review on BarnesandNoble.com.
Most Art Sucks: Coagula Art Journal & the Art of the 1990’s by Walter Robinson, Tom Patchett
Here is a sampling of the review:
“Art is art is art. Once you’ve stood in front of it only the un-minded can drift away with no altered frame of reference than the one they walked in with. You like/get it. You don’t like/get it. On rare and sublime occasions ‘love’ comes into play. Ultimately it’s my thing, your thing. But there are always a trillion books straining at the leash to educate, put you right, or more usually, to baffle with art-speak.” –David Bowie

In conjunction with BowieNet’s official launch of the Lucent 360 degree BowieCam ? we are proud to bring you the “Fly on the Wall Scavenger Hunt“.
Lucent’s mission with this new video technology is to blaze the trail in the creation and delivery of electronically steerable video ? particularly of high-resolution, seamless, 360° video. One of the most interesting features of this technology is that it utilizes Java applets rather then a plug-in.
A preview can be seen at http://www.fullview.com/panoapplet.html. You might even catch Dr. Vic in the lab working.
Here’s how it will work:
Thursday, February 18th, at 8:45 p.m. EST, Dr. Vic will turn off the servers and strategically place 3 or 4 Mystery Memorabilia Items throughout his lab. These items will have some Historical Bowie Significance. From 9:00 p.m. EST till 9:15 p.m. EST, you will have access to Vic’s laboratory to search for the Bowie Items.
Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to search the room, identify the objects, and e-mail your best guesses to info@davidbowie.com, ALL WITHIN A 15-MINUTE TIME FRAME ! The servers will be shut down at 9:15 p.m. EST.
After we receive your entries via e-mail, we will randomly select 2 winners. Winners will receive an autographed David Bowie CD. We would also welcome any feedback on the quailty and speed of the video.
Good Luck to all.
After the Brits tonight, at 10:40 PM onITV, there is a documentary entitled “Walk On The Wild Side” which chartsthe theatrical and exotic side of pop music. This show features clips of David’s videos “Jean Genie” and “Life On Mars” plus “Starman” from Top Of The Pops.
Last month, David asked that we give a “Special Creativity Award” to the creator of The Bowie Remix/Recreation Project website for going “above and beyond“!
BowieNet would like to personally thank Derek Donovan for his extraordinary entry in the song contest. Thanks Again Derick!
Here is another letter we received from one of our “Original” BowieNet members. We thought you’d like to see it!
Just a reminder:
In tune with Tybalts letter, we would like to encourage our members to check out and populate our “Members Database” – The entire project including programming, coding, development, scripting and design was completely done by BowieNet members! . As Tybalt states in his letter:“I can voice my thoughts and alter the future of BowieNet”. The element of BowieNet that make us unique is our members participation. Keep it up guys!

Two of David Bowie and Beezy Baileys well known collaborations “Vomit NakedEarth” and “Talk is Cheep Cheep” are going to be on show at Beezy Bailey’s”Popping Stars” exhibition at the Womad Music Festival in Johannesburg thisweekend.
The Festival was started by Peter Gabriel and Thomas Brooman in 1982and has become a great success. Rolling Stones said of WOMAD:
“The Festival has a wonderful sense of the unexpected. A bizarre melding ofmusical and cultural styles and a euphoric sense of peace and goodwill”
