On the occasion of the Dakar Biennale '98, Haitian-born Canadian
artist Yvon Villarceaux, in collaboration with Artengine,
organised a cyber exchange between artists in Canada and Senegal.
3x3 dans les anges is a virtual gallery of painted and photographed
"reactions" by African artists to Canadian work, and
vice versa. The complexly embedded piece offers a model of interactivity
based on the African song and storytelling tradition of call
and response. http://www.artengine.ca/Dir_Gallery/3x3/artgallery/
