Switch issue 19 has finally emerged from the multitude of activities that have recently taken place at CADRE. Thematically this means that we have interviewed people, written articles, carried out projects and engineered software in a manner relevant to the art & technology crossover. We videotaped Cory Arcangel's NES mods, asked Alex Galloway whether he identifies with hacker culture, got to know one of the biggest technical problems Jim Campbell has ever solved, and played golf at the Silicon Valley Golf Classics. We contacted old-school technology artist STELARC and hypothesized about fear oriented programming. Meanwhile, students from the Human Machine Interface class studied and produced blogs en masse while others ran an exhibition downtown San Jose in cooperation with Phantom Galleries.

Many thanks goes to all the participants who made this issue happen. -Stefan Hechenberger (managing editor)
