More about The Furtherfield Blog:
This multi-blog is a place to intuitively explore media arts and related practices, together, as it occurs, to develop understanding and to learn, without any pressure to formulate conclusions, it is about experience and process, the bits in between. Set up in Autumn 2006, initially as a place for informal, day to day exchange between members of the Furtherfield.org team, including editors/reviewers. We soon discovered this format suited some people more than others and are now open to new contributors. The blog is not intended as a platform to promote particular projects. Instead it invites individuals to explore their own perspectives on their own terms; personal thoughts, emotional responses and critical intentions rarely publicly discussed elsewhere.
