Vagueterrain.net the Toronto-based digital arts quarterly, has just
launched its fifth issue: vague terrain 05: minimalism.This issue is
dedicated to an exploration of minimalism and technology through various
texts and multimedia projects which document and explore reductionism.

minimalism in 100 words or less

If there is one thing that is certain about minimalism it is that you need to use less then 100 or more than 
3000 words to talk about it. We've brought together a diverse range of work which explores minimalism 
through sound, time and space, questions the use of technology, traces genealogy, and discusses 
methodology.  Please take some time to explore the body of work we've curated. Enjoy!
