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.

Dear God,
Dear God,
hope you got the letter , and...
I pray you can make it better down here .
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
but all the people that you made in your image , see
them starving on their feet 'cause they don't get
enough to eat from God, I can't believe in you
Dear God, sorry to disturb you, but... I feel that I should be heard
loud and clear . We all need a big reduction in amount of tears
and all the people that you made in your image , see them fighting
in the street 'cause they can't make opinions meet about God,
I can't believe in you
Did you make disease , and the diamond blue ? Did you make
mankind after we made you? And the devil too!
Dear God, don't know if you noticed , but... your name is on
a lot of quotes in this book , and us crazy humans wrote it, you
should take a look , and all the people that you made in your
image still believing that junk is true . Well I know it ain't , and
so do you, dear God, I can't believe in I don't believe in
I won't believe in heaven and hell . No saints , no sinners , no
devil as well . No pearly gates , no thorny crown . You're always
letting us humans down . The wars you bring , the babes you
drown . Those lost at sea and never found , and it's the same the
whole world 'round . The hurt I see helps to compound that
Father , Son and Holy Ghost is just somebody's unholy hoax ,
and if you're up there you'd perceive that my heart's here upon
my sleeve . If there's one thing I don't believe in
it's you... Dear God.

Gate Keeping & Who gets seen?
Gate Keeping & Who gets seen?
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Thomas Moore said 'All attempts to give a strict form to life, even if they
are based in a fantasy of self improvement, participate in Sadeian monastic
ideals'.
I can understand Jess Loseby's declaration of doubt regarding Manovich's
decision not to include certain groups, other forms of net-based digital
creativity in his writings; yet I also see that it is to do with
circumstance.
Like Patrick Lichty, I feel that he contributes but not with as a wide or
broad net as some of us on the frontline would wish for. I remember looking
in an archive of Manovich's files under section 'F' with a silly, childish
and hopeful curiosity, wondering if he had mentioned Furtherfield at all
(after all we have been active as a net group since 97); I laughed out loud
to myself when I discovered a reference to Forest Gump and nothing of
ourselves. The only people who can really change this situation are those on
the frontlines as usual (like Patrick mentioned again). Which is why we
started Furtherfield in the first place.
The line that many of us net based progressive thinkers, net artists, wish
to redraw and potentially make less canon based and non linear is always
being reinterpreted by cultural shifts socially and politically all the
time. Those who mainly reside within those prescribed cultural boundaries,
who wish not to change the designated lines are workers for those
institutions, supporting them, even if they are actually situated outside
themselves. For once one engages in the dialogue of creativity with others
the process begins that whatever is discussed between becomes a space that
references what has been put in place for them to muse on as historical,
contemporary influence.
Jess Loseby said 'The huge dilemma is that no-one has been able to come up
with a viable alternative critical language/voice for net.art/new media
writing that is as accessible, understandable and well supported as
manovich's texts.'
The reason for this is not that they are not out there, they are, but they
are not being seen by the institutions themselves which makes it seem as
though they are not out there. This is not healthy because lazy curators
just choose the ones who are easier to focus on instead of actively
researching to find out what is really happening.
So, who gets seen, and why are they seen above others and more than others?
I read Manovich's recent article which was posted on this list a few days
ago 'Don't Call it Art: Ars Electronica 2003' mentioning that Ars
Electronica's decision to focus mainly on coding was a form of cultural
isolationism. This was, in fact a very important thing to say. For I can
remember thinking to myself, mmm Furtherfield are doing some pretty
interesting things but we cannot get involved with this festival because we
are eclectic and consciously trying not to be singular and actively
relational in matters regarding digital, new media and net art explorations.
So our group was isolated because we did not fit into a limited theme, and
us being more open in our field of practice, ideas and function was not what
they were interested in. Which is no great loss really as far as
Furtherfield are concerned because we are changing things in our own way,
which is actively open to using the mode of 'soft group' maneuvers,
hopefully more fluid in its essence and aiming beyond established static,
culturally revisionist tactics.
I want to move away from Manovich and putting him under the spotlight as
symbolic of what is stopping the wheel turning in the world, and spread the
load and give other examples that we ourselves at Furtherfield have
personally experienced.
Now, when we see certain people always getting promoted or written about
when there are many other significant people and groups out there involved
in just as much relevant work themselves who are not being accepted by those
who hold the keys to the 'representative' kingdom. Then there is something
that is not working. What this says, is that not much has changed regarding
creative entities being seen via institutional platforms. It is also obvious
that it takes years of positive change to penetrate such systems that
usually nurter their own, what they know already and usually not what they
do not know. Also, we must remember that many institutional academics prefer
to limit their agendas and stick to them as a centralized base to work
around. Which can be great for them because they finely tune their ideas to
a sharp focus, but in essence when exploring new media, digital and net art,
the landscape out there is perpetually changing and offers so much more.
Also, there is a big difference between intellectual argument and academic
argument. Academic argument comes from a place of culturalized reference,
high art, high science, or accepted and (supposed) informed knowledge that
has been institutionally accepted. This means that if you use an academic
argument, you are more likely to be agreed with by those who value such
structures and theories. They instantly understand the triggers, signifiers
being inferred. Thus, an immediate rapport occurs, a kind of mental
handshake and recognition that one has equally gone through the same
learning processes. This is of course a positive experience for those who
wish to have their references re-affirmed, but it serves no solution to
solve the issue or crux, that 'Academia' only serves the few.
What this means is that the probability in respect of those who have not had
institutional support compared to those who have had institutional support,
regarding being seen by writers and critics with strong institutional
connections, is a vast chasm. For some reason many institutional historians
it seems, do not to openly value social change, they value history instead.
Thus they do not feel that it as part of their remit to put forward a more
democratic vision. This slump into such a traditional dichotomy of

The Progressive Net Therapist_ The_ Sam_ Diaries...
Sleazy Art Meetings (10)
The Progressive Net Therapist
& her adventures with, 'Adult Net, E-Wave Fusion'.
My name is Emily Malone and I am studying to become a therapist, but with a
difference. Once one finally becomes proficient, an expert or successful in
completing the demanding (three year) course of therapeutically stemmed
learning. I can then evolve into a vocation that promises to provide amazing
psychological benefits for clients that frequent the Internet. It's a very
difficult program, but has many emotional and intellectual rewards. It has
been developed by a fascinating and visionary individual called Bill Hanson,
a great Post, Post -Jungian and Archetypal psychologist. He has been
treating patients via the Internet ever since its early years. He has also
written some stunning books such as 'Extropian leaps' and 'Waves + substance
= Life'.
Recent discoveries in 'Quantum Theory, Psychology' and its function
methodology, using up to date research of brain mechanics, have declared
that the lateral workings of the computer are not just a mere poetic or
metaphorical simile. The various working formats and functions of the
wave-driven, quantum self; and its metaphysical networking qualities; do
also possesses physiological workings. A natural non-linear type of
execution, the behavior of this chemical induced muscle in the human
cranium, does offer similarities and connections that relate to computer
interactivity.
For instance, waves, or should I say 'Oscillons' take on a life of their own
once they formulate. They have been observed to attract each other and to
form strings and various micro crystal-like structures, either square or
hexagonal. They do not merely hide in realm of the micro, but also
collectively influence the macro simultaneously. These 'Oscillons' are wave
energies, very much on par to sound, light and electricity and it is all
very much part of the untouchable, yet a fundamental part and structure of
'Life'. The human body is kept alive, kept awake by this energy, computers
connect, just like we humans connect, computers network, just like us humans
do instinctively, attracting each other, sending energy signals 'waves' that
transgress dimensional assumptions. There is an atomic essence in our being
and it (all) is part of everything else, yet particle cells combine our
physical forms, hosting, melding and encasing the life force.
My form of therapy knows no bounds, for it is part of the greater sum. Yet,
when one wishes to mingle and be part of the everyday, I do seem to have a
bit of trouble. The playful function of sharing mutually explored
affirmations, is a lack that teases my inner harmony.
My emotional sensibilities are unreachable to others, fenced off by what
seems to be a surrounding thousand meter wide moat; shrouded in a hazy cloud
of (socially designed and of course self-inflicted) self-doubt. And this is
all because of this desperate biting need for some form of glandulaire
interaction, intuitively shared. Oh Lacan, I now know how you must of felt,
so disparate and overwhelmingly emasculated by the knowledge of being badly
designed, a social construct, with all those culturalized, verbalizations
and leaving your lips and yet, not reflecting real inner exertions. We are
all engineered and Clumsily built for an economy culture, sometimes I feel
like a broken down 'Amstrad'.
But less of my emotional 'id-bashing', and all that ad-hoc, ego centered
diction. I am here to tell you about my more intimate and sensorial
revelations with actual people. Because of my constant studying I don't have
time to go to bars to pick up guys. Then I heard about this amazing Internet
site called 'Adult Net, E-Wave Fusion' from one of my friends who decided to
do a sociology paper on the Internet about dating services. I think she only
chose the topic to give her an excuse to try it, but I told her I'd try it
too and share my experiences.
I became very interested in 'Adult Net, E-Wave Fusion', there were thousands
of married Post, Post Yungians and progressive Extropians in our locality.
And all looking to have personal transactions, many of them resided on this
site; I couldn't believe my luck. I had just gone though midterms and it had
been a long time since I had a secure and concrete upright encounter.
I found a seemingly incalescent kind of guy online and made a date the first
day I joined 'Adult Net, E-Wave Fusion'. He was a kind of executive for a
large forward-thinking contemporary Net Therapy organization called 'Lateral
Amalgamation', thirty-four years old and had been married for five years.
Now, I know what you are going to say, but he is married! So what? This is
the 21st Century darlings' and the last thing I need is a clingy male
siphoning off my emotional energies when I have so much to do in this
ever-changing world. And besides, it is exciting and it will help me develop
my inner personalities that have been locked away, until now.
His name was Jason and he was incredible. Just sitting in a restaurant
across from him made my vertebrate throb. It was as if I was, energized by
highly charged batteries. From the moment I saw him I wanted to pin him down
and connect my lickerishness and robust inner velocity to his externalized,
protrudence. We'd had quite an exchange of emails before we met in person
and it was a little embarrassing to meet face to face for the first time,
especially after telling him how I liked to be broken down into fervid and
primary components.
Great intercourse is all about attitude and it was very cool to weed out the
individuals (future possible clients) who had no self-confidence on the
Internet before meeting anyone in person. Certainly most males will agree
that when it comes to the measuring of their perceived tangible functions,
the physical measure of their urinary tool size is one of the first things
that come to mind. Yet I was not just interested in primate enhancement, but
also cerebral inter-connections that would also shake my quantum
realizations out of their fissures. I had a great time with Jason and he was
the first of many. I know what turns me on; it's no surprise that my life
has taken a turn for the better. I've been able to set up mutual situations
with the men of my choice.
I intermeshed with Jason for the first time in a cheap motel. We severed
each other's accoutrements and I managed to pin him to the bed and pushed
forward my tabby against his braincase from the top of the forehead to the
base of the protruding part of the lower jaw, from ear to ear. His principal
organ of taste was powerful and hot. I issued forth so hard that I nearly
drowned him, exuding volatile components of condensation and an immediate
collection of secreted fluidity. I returned the favor by establishing a
partial vacuum on his piercing object-hood until he released a hot, steady
current of continuous, amorphous substance down my open esophagus. I had a
good idea when he was going to reach his zenith because his spherical
objects tightened up and he moved his sacrum forward, but he didn't give me
any other warning. The power of his stinkhorn disrupts all my expected
narratives.
I always perform the act of passing alimentary calcium through my cavity for
guys, but usually they ask first; it's just rude not too. Jason did lack the
graces and refinement of civilized life and it really turned me on. He made
it obvious that he had no intentions of starting a serious relationship and
was going to explore my intimate peripherals as he pleased without making
any apologies. I love it when men are that straightforward with their course
of action, in respect of what they intend to follow up with.
After he descended I made him recline on my particular being again. This
time I was reposing on my posterior portion between the neck and the pelvis;
the dorsum. With my legs open to a fuller extent or width, with my hands
holding his skull between that part of the limb that is between the knee and
foot. He took me over the brink when he put forth his fingers and rolled my
nozzles. They felt relatively hard and were like naturally formed mineral or
petrified matter, a bit like stones. And the inducement increased the
delectation that he was conveying in accordance with the laws of nature on
me, with his principal instrument of taste. Then a series of involuntary
contractions of the muscles followed, it was so intense every fiber
contracted and when it was over I felt inflamed everywhere.
We had an affair that lasted just over a month before I moved on. We didn't
restrict our meetings to cheap hotels; we went on a lot of dates and engaged
in epicurean relativity in the open or in his minivan. For my entire second
year in the therapy program I was constantly getting physiologically
explored in the evenings, and still able to keep my GPA up. I think it was
staying out of bars and being with successful people that kept me focused.
I wholeheartedly recommend that anyone who has a deep, niggling urge to
unearth their hidden subconscious realms, and for those whom are seriously
interested to learn what they actually are. To explore their alternate
selves before they become one glum sodden behavior. If not, stay in the
dark; then you can call me and I will help you sift through your psyche(s).
You will have to wait about a year though.

The Progressive Net Therapist
& her adventures with, 'Adult Net, E-Wave Fusion'.
My name is Emily Malone and I am studying to become a therapist, but with a
difference. Once one finally becomes proficient, an expert or successful in
completing the demanding (three year) course of therapeutically stemmed
learning. I can then evolve into a vocation that promises to provide amazing
psychological benefits for clients that frequent the Internet. It's a very
difficult program, but has many emotional and intellectual rewards. It has
been developed by a fascinating and visionary individual called Bill Hanson,
a great Post, Post -Jungian and Archetypal psychologist. He has been
treating patients via the Internet ever since its early years. He has also
written some stunning books such as 'Extropian leaps' and 'Waves + substance
= Life'.
Recent discoveries in 'Quantum Theory, Psychology' and its function
methodology, using up to date research of brain mechanics, have declared
that the lateral workings of the computer are not just a mere poetic or
metaphorical simile. The various working formats and functions of the
wave-driven, quantum self; and its metaphysical networking qualities; do
also possesses physiological workings. A natural non-linear type of
execution, the behavior of this chemical induced muscle in the human
cranium, does offer similarities and connections that relate to computer
interactivity.
For instance, waves, or should I say 'Oscillons' take on a life of their own
once they formulate. They have been observed to attract each other and to
form strings and various micro crystal-like structures, either square or
hexagonal. They do not merely hide in realm of the micro, but also
collectively influence the macro simultaneously. These 'Oscillons' are wave
energies, very much on par to sound, light and electricity and it is all
very much part of the untouchable, yet a fundamental part and structure of
'Life'. The human body is kept alive, kept awake by this energy, computers
connect, just like we humans connect, computers network, just like us humans
do instinctively, attracting each other, sending energy signals 'waves' that
transgress dimensional assumptions. There is an atomic essence in our being
and it (all) is part of everything else, yet particle cells combine our
physical forms, hosting, melding and encasing the life force.
My form of therapy knows no bounds, for it is part of the greater sum. Yet,
when one wishes to mingle and be part of the everyday, I do seem to have a
bit of trouble. The playful function of sharing mutually explored
affirmations, is a lack that teases my inner harmony.
