Leading edge cycler-philosopher Pierre Levy, new media-GM artist Natalie Jerimenjenko’s One Tree Planet, and ardent Info-Eco design advocate John Thackera and the Doors of Perception have all conspired to push Fourth Door Review 5’s electronic  envelope this time round.

Up in the Arctic circle we check out how Biosphere and the Tromso Ambient scene are creating their own local electronica scene, and how A K Dolven and fellow artists are turning 40 000 sq kilometres into the world’s most northerly sculpture trail: Artscape Nordland.

Plus Fred Baier’s Impossible Furniture, and Japanese textile maker-designers in Textural Surface, Adriann Beukers, and part II of the Fritjoff Capra interview feature
