BIO
Marc Garrett is co-director and co-founder, with artist Ruth Catlow of the Internet arts collectives and communities – Furtherfield.org, Furthernoise.org, Netbehaviour.org, also co-founder and co-curator/director of the gallery space formerly known as 'HTTP Gallery' now called the Furtherfield Gallery in London (Finsbury Park), UK. Co-curating various contemporary Media Arts exhibitions, projects nationally and internationally. Co-editor of 'Artists Re:Thinking Games' with Ruth Catlow and Corrado Morgana 2010. Hosted Furtherfield's critically acclaimed weekly broadcast on UK's Resonance FM Radio, a series of hour long live interviews with people working at the edge of contemporary practices in art, technology & social change. Currently doing an Art history Phd at the University of London, Birkbeck College.
Net artist, media artist, curator, writer, street artist, activist, educationalist and musician. Emerging in the late 80′s from the streets exploring creativity via agit-art tactics. Using unofficial, experimental platforms such as the streets, pirate radio such as the locally popular ‘Savage Yet Tender’ alternative broadcasting 1980′s group, net broadcasts, BBS systems, performance, intervention, events, pamphlets, warehouses and gallery spaces. In the early nineties, was co-sysop (systems operator) with Heath Bunting on Cybercafe BBS with Irational.org.
Our mission is to co-create extraordinary art that connects with contemporary audiences providing innovative, engaging and inclusive digital and physical spaces for appreciating and participating in practices in art, technology and social change. As well as finding alternative ways around already dominating hegemonies, thus claiming for ourselves and our peer networks a culturally aware and critical dialogue beyond traditional hierarchical behaviours. Influenced by situationist theory, fluxus, free and open source culture, and processes of self-education and peer learning, in an art, activist and community context.

Re: RHIZOME_RARE: Re: Rhizome @ DEAF03
I agree,
Obviously Net Art Clique circles do not reside on the list here...it has
been pre-ordianed it seems - not open for discussion. May be the list users
are just income-based space fillers, and not necessarily people that the
Rhizome gang wish to explore new opportunities with. I think that this is
quite obvious really...
Even if we are based in Europe, and could offer strong links and
ideas/funding regarding such ventures. The reality is, that it is much more
to do with institutional connections rather than bottom up creativity.
Therefore those who are pretty good at getting imaginative things going but
do not have the immediate institutional clout will be left on the
side-lines, sounds familiar? Or grudgingly taken into the fold because they
are a pain the ass as a niggling enemy.
To be honest, Michael - there are other ventures that are
happening/formulating right now that we ourselves are involved in, and we do
not isolate anyone - whatever their backgrounds or connections. People are
always under the deluded impression that if someone has the connections that
they will be useful - not always true. We are more interested in
compassionate, explorative individuals and what they can offer on their own
terms with their own directed energy, this opens up avenues to make amazing
things happen. The beauty of creating something special is that there is
real love generosity involved and not just connection based concepts. That
is what makes things work - people will learn this sooner or later, to form
a good working relationship with others is not just by curriculum based
snobism. We have a group right now in the UK who are getting together to
form somethiing that people can truly feel part of, and it will
significantly challenge insitutional 'default divide and rule' methodology.
If you really want to change things, you start with people - not academics
alone. People are the source and the reason to do anything worthwhile. Let's
topple this cynical rome!
