face=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular size=2>The 2001 <STRONG>Sasol
</STRONG>exhibition curated by <STRONG>Marcus Neustetter </STRONG>at the
<STRONG><I>Klein Karoo Nasionale Kunstefees</I> </STRONG>in <STRONG>Oudtshoorn,
South Africa, </STRONG>presented a range of South African artists, each of which
showing two works related in subject matter, however in different media; one
work in digital format and the other one of the more traditional media. In this
way the exhibition creates relationships between artists' works on the screen
and off the screen -</FONT><FONT color=#396791

color=#808080>The translation of the production of the sculptural, photographic
or pictorial works into either computer specific, digitally manipulated or even
interactive pieces has become interesting in the relationship of art and
technology. Artists such as <STRONG>Norman Catherine </STRONG>and
<STRONG>Stephen Hobbs </STRONG>have been exploring shifts of their concepts to
incorporate digital interactivity of CD Rom artworks. <STRONG>Abrie Fourie
</STRONG>translates his lightbox works into screensavers and <STRONG>Tracy
Gander/FUR </STRONG>her landscapes into digital horizons. Other artists
exhibiting transformations from the sculptural, performance and two-dimensional
works into the virtual environment created by technology are <STRONG>Brad
Hammond</STRONG>, <STRONG>Mark Edwards</STRONG>, <STRONG>Robin Rhode</STRONG>,
<STRONG>Kim Lieberman </STRONG>and <STRONG>Stefanus Rademeyer</STRONG>. The
digital works were presented on state of the art equipment sponsored by
<STRONG>LG Electronics</STRONG>. Computers and projectors are also supplied by
the <STRONG>Technikon Pretoria </STRONG>and with the assistance of
<STRONG>MuseuMAfrica</STRONG>, <STRONG>City of Johannesburg</STRONG>.
