"The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art historyhas attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism. Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images." Camille Paglia

Commentary: Last Issue of Proscenia News - Good Bye For Now

For everything there is a season it is said. So, too, for online publications. This is the last issue of the Proscenia Newsletter and after three years I think we have had a good run. However, it is not the end of Proscenia Interactive and our outreach efforts.

Our little publication began in 2003 as a in-house e-mail news sheet for the many interns we had working with us. It announced opportunities and idnetified potential jobs for those graduating from school. Since that time many of those interns who were with us have gone on to successful careers in media design.

Our first online Newsletter was published on January 1, 2003. Since that time we have kept an archive of all the publications for future reference should anyone want to take a look back. In addition, we have abstracted the feature articles from each issue and archived those for people to access. We plan to continue to keep these archives active after a bit of housekeeping and updating. There is a lot of interesting ideas posted in various articles and that collection of material will remain available.

We are currently rebuilding our Proscenia Interactive web site which will retain many of the resources for which this newsletter has become known. We plan to convert a lot of the resources we have developed into a content management system that will allow us to easily update and add new material. It will also allow those interested in contributing material to easily do so.

So, with this issue we say good bye for now. Thanks for your dedicated readership and encouragement over the past three years. Look for an announcement about the new Proscenia site in the near future.

Cheers, Gary Ferrington
