Despite being graced by Canada’s Aboriginal Wonder Woman, Buffy Sainte-Marie, on a full-colour cover, Cyberstage doesn’t cut my mustard, turn my crank, shimmy my tree, or hack my data base. While it fills a growing niche – art that’s aided by hightech – it’s inevitably more hucksterism than the kind of critique it aims to be, largely because there’s much less art than tech here. My interest in tools only goes as far as they can throw me. Tell me what the content inside the form is, and maybe my fleshy ears will prick up and my human hair will stand on end.
