Although it is evident that the majority of the art/literary 
market/scene[s] have yet to successfully grapple with the potentialities 
inherent [with]in the Net, the capability for experimental growth seems to 
be slipping slowly out of sight[/site], back into a realm of segregated, 
delineated art-forms that sit nicely within their own definable niches. 
Thankfully, not all creators engulfed in net dynamics are determined to 
expressively seep back into the quagmire of historically [and academically] 
ratified/reiterative formats and stylistics. Some still perceive [and 
participate in] the network via a tapestry of deformation/communication 
potentials. These entities shift & pulse data via infinite network 
variations. These _artists_ [or net/code.workers] revel in the fabric of 
connection modes and core elements that represent the actualities of the 
net in all its functional glory. The code/net.workers selected for 
inclusion here engage in production of [artistic] output that employs and 
mirrors the very blueprinted mechanisms of the net itself.
