Linda Zacks
"Meet Linda Zacks, the creative spark behind extra-oomph.com. Her work percolates from the tangible grime that is the oozy texture of New York City. It is about the cacophony of whooping sirens and grinding metal. Her words form a rhythmic latin hustle, pimp struttin' with meaning and experiences, setting one up for that same sort of woozy swoon one feels when roaming the streets around Times Square. Tension. Calamity. The urban obstinance that turns a jackhammer into a musical instrument. That’s what it’s like. If it’s not cathartic, it’s not in her artistic vocabulary."

(EN) The 115 Digital Art Gallery is dedicated to the exhibition and promotion of digital fine art. Digital art has become a very important part of contemporary art. New tools revolutionize the artists' way of thinking and working. Images that could have never been created using traditional means are now possible through digital interfaces. Future artists will never have known a world without computer technology. For them, digital tools will be the instruments of their work. It is time for a cross-over in contemporary art and we want to be there and, along with the artists we want to lead the way for the art of the future.

Calvin Harris
Calvin Harris's debut album, with the subtle title "I Created Disco", cost 0 p. to record. He fashions future-disko using an ancient Amiga computer and is, right now, (literally) knocking together a stonking live set using MDF and 204 samples. "My live band's gonna be even more rocking than the tunes. I'll be singing, but only because no one else in Dumfries can sing. I've got an extremely limited range. But I will be wearing a top hat made from the skin of a tiger.
Calvin Harris is one of those 'myspace sensations' you keep reading about. He was wildly popular amongst The Kids and on The Club Scene, a cult producer - slash - singer - slash - bedroom - knob - twiddler who can make the banging-est of pop-dance tunes out of bugger-all kit. The last time he spent any money on gear was three years ago, when he bought a voice processor for £200. "I'm not the kind of dude who buys Sound On Sound. I know if something sounds nice. If it does, I'll keep it. If not, I'll try and make it nice. You don't need to splash out on technology."

Brian Walker | Lick where the sun does shine
Welcome to the cheese factory where dreams are made and broken. "Viewing this work is the equivalent of a photographic excursion into the mind of a serial filler of funtime plastic-fantastic realities. Brian Walker is a world renowned digital artist, with a playfully kitsch postmodern view on the world at large. View them with a grain of salt in hand ready to rub into your own proverbial visual wound that he taketh pleasure in inflicting" (H. R. Wienheimer)
