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.

http://www.furtherfield.org/rosalind/
Feed Rosalind with your own words and definitions to express and declare
what you are, what you do and the worlds you create, on your own terms.
Influence and mutate her, help her to maturity.
Your words may :
- describe something very particular to your life/experience/work.
- be invented in a moment of desperation.
- arise in conversation with others.
- already be in circulation.
Examples:
mociology - The study of the effect of mobile technology and ubiquitous
networks on our social interactions. A combination of mobile and
sociology. An important term in the rising world-network that we're all
blips in the midst of. Reference :
rockngo.org/archives/2006/01/mociology.html
Added by Jon Beardsley.
Mail listlessness.
Anxiety and ennui due to overwhelming list mail in inbox as a
consequence of phobic sense of missing something which is not there.
Added by Patrick Simons.
Glass Roots.
An unacknowledged discriminatory barrier that prevents those minorities
privileged by class or financial resources from accessing the source of
distributed power or responsibility, as exists within a local community.
Added by ruth catlow.
Alpha Revisionism.
Promoting or 'selling' an audience on a concept/product in nascent
(possibly premature) stages in order to create popular sentiment & hype
about A given idea, product, or action.
Added by Patrick Lichty
Telememetics.
Study of how memes transmit over networks, what effect the existence and
use of networks has on the spread and uptake of memetic infection I
invented the word, it is itself a meme. Reference : www.telememetics.com -
Added by ivan007.
Anna Karenin Function.
A function which returns zero on success and a variety of error codes
otherwise source:Zack Booth; Inspired by the first line of Tolstoy's
Anna Karenin ("Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is
unhappy in its own way.") i.e. all happy function calls are alike, every
unhappy function call is unhappy in its own way.
Added by maya
D.I.W.O (Diwo's, or Diwo groups).
Expanded from the original term known as D.I.Y. (Do It Yourself).
D.I.W.I.O 'Do It With Others'. Is more representive of contemporary,
collaborative - art practice which explores through the creative process
of using networks, in a collective manner.
Added by Marc Garrett.
Netropy.
Propriety that implies that through time, the Internet is forced to
always become more and more chaotic.
Added by Clemos.
Catechstrophy - a disastrous technology problem or breakdown,
particularly used in the context of live art, performance or
installation which involves computers.
Added by Neil Jenkins.
Parasitic Media.
"The parasite is the mystical computer glitch. The parasite is the
bandwidth thief. The parasite is the invisible usurper. The shift that
takes place in the host, if any, is one so gradual the parasite will be
able to feed and thrive without detection. The invisibility of the
parasite is only through the eyes of its host organism." Reference :

gxxgle - verb- (to gxxgle).
To search for a search engine that fights censorship in the face of
shareholder greed or state pressure. That doesn't contribute to the

Boredom Research: Interviewed by Aaron Steed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------->
An interview with Boredom Research on their latest project 'F.wish' a
new online project commissioned by Folly (http://www.folly.co.uk/);
based on the Lam Tsuen Wishing Trees. In Hong Kong near the Tin Hou
Temple you can visit these trees, write your wish on a “bao die”, tie it
to an orange and throw it up into the branches. If your wish is caught
in the branches it is said to come true. The tree used to be a camphor
tree where a tablet for worshipping Pak Kung was placed before it
withered and became hollow. The myth goes that a worshiper prayed to the
tree to fix his son who was slow in learning. The granted wish led to
many more wishes being made of the tree.

PHONETHICA: Reviewed by Franz Thalmair.
--------------------------------------------------------------------->
The contradictory overlap between diversity and similarity of languages
and their corresponding cultures is the initial point for the project
PHONETHICA by Takumi ENDO and Nao TOKUI. More than 6.5 billion people on
our planet share approximately five to six thousand languages.
Nevertheless, every single individual owns a speaking equipment, which
enables him/her to produce the same sounds in every corner of the world.
Consequently, there exists some coincidental similarity within the
different idioms. Looking at languages in this specific way, it must be
concluded that phonetic rather than semantic aspects of languages result
in an overlapping of language phenomena in different cultural backgrounds.

Alex Dragulescu's Blogbot: Reviewed by Maria Victoria Guglietti.
--------------------------------------------------------------------->
Blogbot and productive inertia.
Sometimes silence is unbearable. Alex Dragulescu’s graphic novel What I
Did Last Summer inundates our screen with words that we can almost
touch. The phrases are intermittent, fragmentary, irrevocably silent… “I
don’t ask why…” “Now, you’ve got all that on…” “I read the Stars and
Stripes and….” These are textual bombs; scattered sentences harvested by
Dragulescu’s software agent Blogbot. The phrases are actual extracts
captured from the famous war blogs My War[sub]1[/sub] and Baghdad
Blogger[2], two of the most famous blogs written by participants and
witnesses of the war in Iraq.

The Lost Biology of Silent Hill_: FurtherCritic Article by [[Mez]]
--------------------------------------------------------------------->
/The game Silent Hill [all 5 versions] attempts to restitch game-genre
predictability. The versions progress using suspense/dread evocation as
their primary engagement tool. Various game elements produce this
introspective thrill-connection through the use of sound biting [almost
literally], sinister environ expectancies [limited visual negotiations
through fog/blackness], rotten materiality [decay + dereliction] and
puzzle elements designed 2 provoke survival adaptions [fight-or-flight
responses].

disturb.the.peace [angry women]: Review by Eliza Fernbach.
--------------------------------------------------------------------->
Can anger be beautiful? Can rage be aesthetic? The collaborative
net-based installation site D/tP disturb.the.peace [angry women] thinks
so. What after all is more powerful than an angry woman but a group of
angry women doing art? The infamous 'angry young man' epitomized by the
likes of James Dean and Marlon Brando in the cinema of the Fifties
hasn't really been mirrored in a feminine glass. Polishing a reflection
on angry women- young or old is the aim of this site that Hollers back
and out into the future with bravado. Curated by Jess Loseby
(http://rssgallery.com/), submissions to the site are ongoing and the
bar has been set high by the founding fems who grace the inaugural page.

2nd Upgrade Meeting at Oklahoma City: Review by Luis Silva.
--------------------------------------------------------------------->
This year, the Oklahoma City node will host the Second International
Meeting. Having the DIY (Do-It-Yourself) ideology as its theme, as well
as a metaphor for the functioning of the Upgrade! network, this city in
the middle of the United States of America will witness, from November
30th to December 3rd, a worldwide meeting of new media artists,
curators, critics and theoreticians. Over twenty nodes will be present
and have been preparing specially for the occasion a program that will
feature exhibitions, performances, lectures, workshops, screenings and
debates. Spreading all over the city, in spaces like Untitled
[ArtSpace], IAO Gallery or The Oklahoma City Museum of Art.

Jason Nelson - Vholoce: Review by John Hopkins.
--------------------------------------------------------------------->
Vholoce is one project in a long line of projects which seeks to
creatively engage the ubiquitous data-streams that are flooding our
virtual world. The rising flood of data is useless without sensible
display. Visual (and sonic) display of digital data is a fundamental
contemporary issue. But what is sensible display? Using a data stream as
a basically random source for visual display is one way to play with the
stream. The syntax of visual display (possibly) becomes the site for
expression by the creative producer. The data-stream source, the method
of (and reason for) display, and the overall creative process need to be
interrogated in order to find the basis for the type of digital engagement.

has commissioned 5 short movies about 5 UK-produced networked art
projects which explore critical approaches to social engagement.
These pieces offer alternative interfaces to the artworks and the
every-day artistic practices of their producers. They introduce the
motivations and social contexts of artists and artists' groups who are
working with DIY approaches to digital technology and its culture, where
medium and distribution channels merge.
These movies each feature the concepts, contexts and techniques involved
in the creation of five specific pieces of work. They include
conversations between artists, audiences/participants and film- makers,
talking on their own terms.

"November" An online networked performance.
November" An online networked performance.
Join us as we cast out the stale air of the fading summer and move
together into winter. Celebrating Halloween and the changing of the
season, we come together online to exchange our collected thoughts
across the Internet whilst each eating garlic cloves.
This networked performance by Patrick Simons and Kate Southworth
(glorious ninth) in collaboration with Ruth Catlow and Marc Garrett
(Furtherfield.org) will be launched at: -
Time: 9 minutes and 41 seconds before midnight (GMT).
Date: 31st October 2006.
Location: http://november.gloriousninth.net
NOVEMBER is a performance that utilises peer-to-peer instant messaging
technology, and the participants were able to see and hear each other on
their computers throughout. Working with their own pre-chosen texts,
each participant alternated between reading aloud and listening,
amending and improvising their performances in response to each other.
At times a cacophony of competing voices, the performance was a
spontaneous and unrehearsed encounter, exposing moments of
vulnerability, intimacy, connection and rhythm.

technology, and the participants were able to see and hear each other on
their computers throughout. Working with their own pre-chosen texts,
each participant alternated between reading aloud and listening,
amending and improvising their performances in response to each other.
At times a cacophony of competing voices, the performance was a
spontaneous and unrehearsed encounter, exposing moments of
vulnerability, intimacy, connection and rhythm.
