Internet usage. Conceptual artwork representing the use of the internet and electronic mail (e- mail), on a computer. The " @" symbol or " at" sign (top right corner) and rows of zeros and ones (binary digits, lower right) are seen. The " @" symbol is used in the addresses of e-mail users, a method whereby computer users can send & receive information over the internet. The compact discs, at lower left, could be used to store data (CD- RAM) or may contain information (CD-ROM) such as an electronic encyclopaedia. The mouse (bottom right corner) represents the pointing device of the same name, which is used to move an on-screen pointer on a monitor (centre)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This conceptual artwork captures the essence of internet use and electronic mail in a visually striking manner. The focal point of the print is the iconic " at " symbol, positioned at the top right corner, representing its vital role in email addresses. Rows of zeros and ones, symbolic of binary digits, are seen on the lower right side, emphasizing the digital nature of online communication. The presence of compact discs at the lower left suggests their potential usage for data storage or as carriers of information like electronic encyclopedias. This highlights how technology has evolved over time to facilitate easy access to vast amounts of knowledge. Intriguingly, a mouse occupies the bottom right corner, symbolizing its significance as a pointing device that enables users to navigate through screens effortlessly. It serves as a reminder that human interaction with computers is essential for harnessing all that cyberspace has to offer. Overall, this thought-provoking artwork beautifully encapsulates various elements associated with internet usage - from communication and abstract concepts to technological advancements. It invites viewers to reflect upon our interconnected world and how it continues to shape our lives through high-tech communications.
