Nancy Mauro-Flude a.k.a Sister0 writes (in third person mode) about her collaborative performance with Jesse Darling. Acting out a performance which carries connotations of a dystopian society. The show was based in part around a strange electronic device named Bag-Lady-2.0.
http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?review\_id=388

Bag-Lady 2.0 "a customised electronic performance tool, a bag with an antenna and an embedded board, programmed for live wireless broadcasting sound, digital images [video] and text. In a recent article in Artforum, "Domesticity at War: Beatriz Colomina and Homi K Bhabha in Conversation" (Summer 2007, pp. 442-447), Colomina and Bhabha explore how the mediations of public and private in the context of war are domesticated and inform developments in fashion, design and architecture. Along with its tactical aspect it highlights the importance of the internet as a medium, meeting place and information source."

Nancy Mauro-Flude a.k.a Sister0 is an artist and researcher in the field of performing art and experimental media. Her art work is poetically invested with the electronic activist movement and she often highlights the importance of the internet and paraphernalia as a medium, meeting place and information source. More info: www.sistero.org

Jesse Darling is a multi-media sculptor, performance artist and "iFlaneur" who works with both old and new technologies. Trained in dance and physical theatre as well as fine art, she is working on a series of experimental collaborations both in real-time and online, exploring themes of collectivism and bricolage: set in the "spaces between places" where the ghosts get into the machine. www.bravenewwhat.org

Marc Garrett interviews Joseph Young.

http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?review\_id=389

Founded by Joseph Young in 2007 - The Neo Futurist Collective consists of a group of highly accomplished artists who have come together to celebrate urban noise in all its' visual and aural forms.

Inspired by the Milan Futurists and the Art of Noises manifesto (Luigi Russolo, 1912), as well the poetics of the Dada movement, the collective are arch-modernists; united in the hope of a positive future where technology, art and humanity will unite to overcome pessimism, despondency and futile utopianism in all its spurious forms.

Current and recent commissions include performance with 'Curious in The moment I saw you I knew I could love you'. Artist-in-Residence at Blast Theory; workshop leader with Mikhail Karikis at Tate Modern - The voice and everything else; a series of commissioned films with video artist Abigail Norris for Architecture Inside Out ­ - a collaboration between disabled artists and architects at Woking Lightbox and Tate Modern.
