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.

radio2XS Refuses To Bow To Pro-War Lobby; Increases PoliticalSongs
Independent alternative radio station, radio2XS, has announced that it will
NOT remove songs from its playlist in order to appease the pro-war lobby. It
will, in fact, be increasing the number of political messages.
Following censorship meetings at Virgin Radio and Radio 1, many records have
been 'rested' from airplay. These include the new Electric Six single 'Gay
Bar' because it contains a reference to 'war'. BBC local radio stations have
suddenly had songs 'removed' from their main library - including John
Lennon's 'Imagine'! This closely mirrors the massive US (and would-be UK)
radio company Clear Channel's list of records banned form their radio
stations and shows clearly how quickly massive media companies move to
silence debate and dissent. MTV has also freaked out and banned videos by
System Of A Down, U2 and Radiohead.
Controversially, Paul Jackson, programme controller of the ailing Virgin
Radio is quoted in this week's NME as saying that his station will be "the
radio version of what the Sun newspaper would do". The Sun is a
politically-motivated and biased publication and under UK terrestrial radio
legislation in the UK, Virgin Radio is required to be politically neutral.
The Sun should not guide Virgin's editorial policy any more than the
anti-war Mirror newspaper should.
radio2XS will continue to play the Electric Six song - and is also
playlisting other relevant songs, including:
an exclusive mix of Frankie Goes To Hollywood 'Two Tribes', featuring Ronald
Reagan's early-80s 'joke' threat to bomb Moscow; Latin Quarter 'America For
Beginners'; Edwin Starr 'War'; The Unpeople featuring John Pilger; Alabama 3
'Woody Guthrie' and 'Mao Tse Tung Said'; Rage Against The Machine 'Bullet In
The Head'; Curtis Mayfield 'We Gotta Have Peace'; Asian Dub Foundation
'Committed To Life'; Credit To The Nation & Chumbawumba 'Enough Is Enough';
The Ill Dependents' 'The Retort' (featuring actor Stephen Rea reading Bobby
Sand's Maze poem 'You Stood By While I Was Wronged'); Donovan 'Universal
Soldier' - and many more.
Station Editor, Jeff Cooper, said: "There's got to be some attempt to
redress the slavish following of the establishment within the broadcast
media. There is more than one attitude to this horrible mess in Iraq and
alternative music views deserve to be aired. Many, mainly young, people in
the music business have differing views and they need to be heard. Newspaper
readers have a wide range of views to choose from - including the exemplary
coverage by The Mirror. It's about time radio listeners were credited with
the same presumed intelligence."
