BlankFurtherfield Update (28/8/02)

Furtherfield has been going through various shifts and changes. We are sure=
many of you know about some of these already. Those who have missed their =
last emails and those who are new members of Furtherfield. Whether you are =
an artist or someone who is intuitive emotionally and conceptually, enjoyin=
g being a part of this ever growing net community; we have a lot to inform =
you about. So rub your eyes, make yourself a strong cup of coffee and let a=
ll the information flood into your pliable craniums.

The Furtherfield office is moving to Finsbury Park - Manor house (London) i=
nto a 1600 sq ft warehouse. The address is at the bottom of this email. All=
the Networking parties will in future be held in this new space. We are go=
ing to use the space to maintain furtherfield's independence by using it as=
an 'on and off' exhibiting space for the support and promotion of up and c=
oming digital, activist, explorative artists. And of course will continue c=
ollaborative projects with other net based groups locally and globally.

All those who are waiting for their work to be featured or hosted on furthe=
rfield, please be patient for currently we are building and decorating in t=
he new space, give us a couple of weeks to get your work online. All those =
who wish to send submissions to furtherfield for consideration can still se=
nd them, give us about a week for response. And if anyone who is living in =
London suddenly gets the urge to help us get the space up and running, don'=
t be shy, an extra pair of hands can always come in handy (scuze slack the =
pun).

We will continue to:
a.. Place net art and agit-prop art-work up in the streets with submissio=
ns sent via email globally.
b.. Hold Networking Parties 'where anyone can turn up and discuss their i=
deas, promote projects and show their work'.
c.. Host and support independent artists via the Furtherfield web site.
d.. Host musicians, aural soundscape artists and noisemakers on our siste=
r site Furthernoise.org
e.. Not ask for any money from artists for designing their sites.
f.. Collect diary entries for our perpetual project DIDO - [http://www.di=
do.uk.net]
g.. Train people to use various web design programs in return for helping=
us with furtherfield upkeep.
h.. Share skills and ideas with people from all walks of life, judging by=
their quality and not by their background.
i.. Exhibit artists work whether they have been to college or not, it's t=
he context not the lineage we are into.

We would also like to thank AKAART, for generously hosting furtherfield a=
nd its various projects.

http://www.furtherfield.org/skinstrip/ 'Skin/Strip Online' invites the gl=
obal digital community to anonymously express their physical identity using=
visual images of their bodies. Individual net users participate in a colle=
ctive, live event, confronting social and cultural representations of the b=
ody within the net community, by revealing and viewing their previously unk=
nown, corporeality via net-based technology. Including two introductory ess=
ays by Alan Sondheim and Lewis LaCooke.

http://www.furtherfield.org/crit/index.htm Lewis LaCooke is our first cri=
tic in residence on Furtherfield. Offering regular and informative reviews =
of varied explorative projects & artworks featured on furtherfield, plus ot=
her works by artists who are currently exhibiting on the Internet.

http://www.furtherfield.org/ffield/index2.htm Furtherprojects, a page tha=
t shows all our current projects and what we are up to, still to be updated=
(of course).

Furtherfield wishes to thank all those who have submitted their new work an=

Furtherfield is an non profit independent online platform for the creation,=
promotion, and archiving of new work for public viewing and interaction. F=
urtherfield collaborates with independent visual artists, digital/net artis=
ts, writers, critical thinkers, musicians and noisemakers with a special fo=
cus on work developed and produced outside the recognised institutional sup=
port structures (colleges, galleries, corporate and public funding). We exp=
lore new and imaginative strategies for communicating ideas and issues in a=
range of digital & terrestrial media contexts.
Furtherfield's activities focus on presenting works online and organising g=
lobal, contributory projects, which exist simultaneously on the Internet, t=
he streets and public venues.

We can make our own World . . .
