"SEEN AND HERD" by Andeisheh Nouraee - Creative Loafing, April 22, 2004 Atlanta, Georgia

Charles Monroe: On Saturday night, I visited Dojo Yakko (a Japanese phrase meaning "abandoned warehouse that's now a trendy intown art space") on North Avenue for "Cyberotika 2004", a futuristic fetishy art, fashion and music party. The art portion of the evening was headlined by pioneering digital artist Laurence Gartel -- a man who has been making digital art since the days when the word "digital" was seldom used in conversation unless it was followed by the word "calculator." The show featured distorted images that Gartel made as early as 1978.
