Is there a loop?

I only recently learned of the Rhizome community, and I am really glad I did. When I mentioned this to a friend, who is in academia, he was really surprised. I have been creating technology based artwork since 1990. I get most of information online. I stay current.

Have I just been out of the loop? Is there a loop?

I have flipped through some of the profiles and websites of Rhizome members, and I am still unclear. I would be interested in how members would characterize the membership.

Who are you? Where did you come from? How did you find Rhizome?

Just curious.
