Here are some of the artists mentioned in this article, a few extra images, and further information available on the web .

Appreciation

Many thanks to the artists of Ubud for letting me into their homes and sharing their time and thoughts about technology. I am deeply endebtted to Suteja Neka for use of his Library, and his introduction to Ari Smit. This web site was built at Prada Internet Cafe and Bungalows through the gracious accomodation of Komang Budasdra. Thanks also to David Lewellayn, for sharing valuable floppy disks, a rare commodity in Ubud.
