Only a few years ago, ultra-multitasking artist and musician Cheryl L’Hirondelle slipped by our airtight on-line security to make over Artengine in a new image and artinjun.ca was born. With the launch of our new artengine.ca site we thought it only fair to leave the side door open for one of our favorite artists to update the face of artinjun.ca. For this edition of Electric Fields we bring you version 3.0 of this hybrid art/web portal project.
