The Cyber£xpo,
playing on the conventions of the multimedia Expo or World's Fair, is a high-end "product fair" that explores the marketability and commercialization of queer multimedia, and suggests ways in which queer aesthetics might inform approaches to information, entertainment, products, and services. It is here that one is treated to some of the featured innovations of the Multimedia Age: interactive exhibits by Rex Bruce, Jordy Jones, Texas Tomboy, Quinn Hearne, the new alternative on-line service Total Entertainment Network by Optigon Interactive, and the Go Girl pinball machine by Michael Brown, make use of such formats as CD-ROM, digital video and the virtual environment

Digital videos by Melinda Hess, Barbara Hammer, David Rauch, Donald Gua,mieri, Museo Contempo, Kenn Spreokel, Mona De Vestal, and the premiere of Christ by Jon Bush and Iguana Productions.
