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.

would I except the pain that you give unless you loved me?

Re: Hitler project
mmm,
The article that goes with this event...
The Unacceptable Face of Freedom
'No, not an article on Test Dept., for those of you who expected such a thi=
ng! Instead, inspired by Thee Grey Wolves, I'd like to take a look at fasci=
st imagery in "industrial" and experimental music'. http://www.hyperreal=
.org/intersection/zines/est/articles/freedom.html
The link between fascist/fetish, street urban wear & Industrial music is a =
strange dichotomy. I myself in my younger years was partial to wearing all =
black with chic fascistic style, overtones. It is also pretty hot in the ho=
mo-erotic camp. My brother after he came out of borstal, was a skinhead or =
suedehead. I was into Throbbing Gristle, Liabach and all that stuff, with a=
more punky element. I remember sitting on a train after visiting London go=
ing back Southend, about to bunk on a Barking tube link after having fights=
on the streets of London against 'NF' backed skinheads at an anti-nazi ral=
ly. On the same train there were a few skinheads all dressed in black, with=
them was a certain now very well known Gary Bushel who was then respected =
by most racist skinheads.
They started picking on some black people sitting on the tube who were orig=
inally just minding their own business, Gary Bushel was egging them on all =
the way. Our small gang then attacked the fascist skinheads and gave them a=
good hiding, at the next stop we all got arrested and piled into the same =
police van. The police (because I looked similar) asked if I was with the s=
kinheads, I said no, I'm not sure if they believed me though. I had a skinh=
ead type haircut but more spikey red yet It got me thinking about how caref=
ul one should dress after that. Now dress code or urban wear is not such a =
significant 'signifier' in repsect of delcaring your beliefs or clan or ide=
ntity. After questioning my many blindspots which included not taking perso=
nal resposibility for my masculinity, I long ago dropped being part of a ga=
ng, for I realised that mob rule was too easy manipulated by mini despots.=
I have always been into what is now teremd as 'Darkwave' but with a new wav=
e edge such as Recoil who I think are a pretty kool band - music that comes=
from an industrial genre. Of course into many other noise expounders also =
such as the Fall. Although urban culture seems to be not so dynamic these d=
ays with a lot of music being propogated by money crunching record companie=
s, trying to kill off independent music. I also have a problem with Stuart =
Home and his fascist leanings and connexions with skinhead culture. Plus al=
l his avantgarde books seem to be about him alone and how he has started ev=
ery movement under the sun.
This also brings me back to a poem by Syvia Plath (I respect her work a lot)
Imagery in Sylvia Plath's "Daddy"
Sylvia Plath once said that "Daddy" is about a girl with an Electra complex=
. The speaker of the poem has lost her father at age ten, at a time when sh=
e still adored him unconditionally, then she gradually realizes the oppress=
ing dominance of the father, and compares him to a nazi, a devil, and a vam=
pire. She cannot deal with his death and has to get over the love-hatred an=
d the images that haunt her. After an attempted suicide she marries man as =
domineering as her father, and leads a short and painful marriage.
