The 4x4 Project invited four leading web artists and designers to work together on the theme of Time and Stasis. Each artist was commissioned to create a new Flash movie, to explain the how and the why, and finally to swap files and remix each other\'s works. This book and the accompanying web site immerse the reader in the four phases of the 4x4 process:

• Theory: personal accounts of the creative process, manifestos, diaries, mental sketchbooks, and associated ephemera
• Time and Stasis: access to the finished original Flash movies online, and stunning artwork from the pieces presented in the book
• Process: detailed, firsthand, technical descriptions of the creation of each piece, along with original source files on the web site
• Noise and Interference: the four authors discuss, sample and remix each other\'s works
