Stephen Vitiello
is featured in the Art of the Digital Age by Bruce Wands (Thames and Hudson). The Australian reviews Stephen's work and writes,
"Indeed, perhaps the most poignant work in the book is Stephen Vitiello's
World Trade Centre (1999), in which the sounds of the wind and of
aeroplanes taking off recorded high up in the World Trade Centre were
transmitted via the internet to an art gallery. What winds of change did
its receivers not pick up, obsessed as the artist was by the irreversible
social advances brought about by the new technologies?"
Pam Turner
