Yen reviews Dancing Rhinoceri of Bangladesh, an interactive poem by net artist Millie Niss, looking at the interface and reader experience, but also at the text itself, and the complexities of its reading, and at the source of its creation through technology. The Dancing Rhinoceri of Bangladesh, she says, is more than just a poem. As with all electronic literature, it requires more than just literacy to access, understand and appreciate. It is a piece of art, which carries in itself, cultural, historical, political and technological implications and meanings.

Mark Hancock looks at Rob Myers’ Shareable Readymades, which combine Open Source culture with a new perspective on the idea of original and copyrighted artworks.

The third and last by Rob Myers, of a series of articles reviewing publications by the CACHe project, an archive of pioneering British computer art. Rob's first review was of the V&A's show and book "Digital Pioneers", the second was of Catherine Mason's "A Computer In The Art Room". Where "A Computer In The Art Room" concentrated on the history of art computing in British educational institutions up to 1980, "White Heat Cold Logic" gives voice to the individuals who made art using computers in that period more generally.
