A.Bill Miller of Gridworks and Master-List 2000 and I are collaborating on a PDF webzine. The first issue “Crunch Crisis” is out now and can be found here: RCP.ML2K.PDF Webzine Issue 1 (Summer 2009)
Here is the description of the project from the Rhizome project page:
RCP.ML2K.PDF is a PDF webzine available for download online. The project explores image circulation, as well as the fluid and adaptable nature of images in the digital environment, and explores the contextual nature of collaged images and image sequences. The project was developed with the intent to create an artwork that participates in the gift economy of file sharing.

I was going through some old files and stumbled upon an old artist statement from 2002… I made a PDF you can download. It’s not bad- typewritten, collaged and everything!
