Fusion Arts+Plexus, New York · 1987

On January of 1987 in New York, Shalom Newman organized at his
Fusion Arts space in Stanton Street a happening to promote the
printing of the Plexus Purgatorio Art Book, made by one-page size
artworks, collected in 1986 at the Plexus Art Opera Eve. Paolo
Buggiani performed with his Minotaur sculpture in fire the departure
of the art book boarding the Plexus art slaves’ boat, with Gretta Sarfaty. 
There, Bruce Breland, director of the Digital Art Exchange Group (DAX)
of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, enjoyed the idea to connect
via computers the Sardinia Serpent event with artists from all over the
world.  The DAX Group was a pioneer in this experimental field; they also
collaborated with the NASA to exchanging art images through the shuttle
Challenger on 1985.
