Featured and discussed in the ARTLINK, Special Issue on Art and Technology 08/87, p48. As Julianne Piarce explains, this issue was "one of the first comprehensive overviews of Australian digital media practice. This issue, a joint project between Artlink, Australian Network for Art and Technology and Apple computers, remains an important historical document and is often cited by researchers looking into the emergent Australian art and technology scene"
