Who are the people behind NeedCom and the Web Lab? Cathy Davies, NeedCom's Creator, Producer, Interviewer, Information Architect, Photographer, Illustrator, and Designer, threw off the shackles of corporate web design to pursue media activism. Not a member of Generation "X", "Nest", or "Next", she currently resides in the thriving art community of Los Angeles, California. Barry Joseph, Supervising Producer at the Web Lab, is delighted to have graduated, after 3 years in the business, to a .org. His previous .com was @radical.media, where he produced and Web-designed sites for Black & Decker, Car & Driver, Premiere Magazine, The Today Show, NBC, MSN, MSNBC, AT&T, Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation, Sotheby's, @radical.media, Movado & Kevin Bacon (a list he once found impressive, but now slightly more than silly compared to his current Web Lab projects). Barry teaches Web Design to both students and educators in New York City's alternative high schools. He has also been recognized by New York magazine for his courses held at the Chautauqua Institution, Parsons, and the School of Visual Arts. Barry believes Oprah gives good hugs... and he speaks from experience. Marc N. Weiss, Executive Producer of Web Lab, spent a lot of time in old media -- a lot of time -- before new media came along to make life interesting again. As a kid, he was addicted to TV and he started making experimental films in college. Beginning in 1969 -- and well into the 90's -- Marc was pretty much consumed with the production, distribution, programming and promotion of independent documentaries. He was also a freelance writer, with articles in Rolling Stone, Variety and Mother Jones. He created P.O.V., the award-winning public TV series, in 1987 and was its executive producer through 1995, when he founded P.O.V. Interactive. From there it was a hop, click and a jump to Web Lab. Marc loves mouseovers.
