About FurtherStudio

FurtherStudio is an exploratory, year long project, set up to create
online, real-time, net art residencies during which time the artists
need not leave their studio or home environments, as the FurtherStudio
web facility offers a public window on the artist's PC desktop as they
work.

The curatorial theme of 'appropriation and ownership of ideas, services,
products and images' is explored with the artist through a programme of
open studio events and discussions between artists, net art critics and
anyone interested in exploring creativity on the Internet. More about
FurtherStudio at
http://www.furtherfield.org/furtherstudio/docs/about.html

We are very pleased to announce that digital/ net artist, Jess Loseby
will be kicking off FurtherStudio with her project, 'bob@no-where'.
During the course of the 3 month long virtual residency Jess will send
emails to 'Bob' with html, flash and video artworks attached. These
emails will take the form of love letters, hate mail and trivial musings
and will be constructed from the artist's emotional take-over and
transformation of artists works archived within the furtherfield.org
website.

The online real-time open studio events are timetabled to take place
three times a week for the next 3 months. Please visit the FurtherStudio
calendar for dates of future events. There should be at least one event
a week that is friendly to your specific time zone. Visit the
FurtherStudio Calendar at
