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.

This week the tables are turned, and special guest Penny Travlou will be asking Marc Garrett questions about Furtherfield.
Penny Travlou is a cultural geographer and ethnographer and works as Lecturer and Research Fellow at the Edinburgh College of Art. Penny’s research is interdisciplinary with a special interest on the politics of public space, urban critical theory and digital ethnography. As a co-investigator at ELMCIP, Penny conducts an ethnographic study of networked creative communities. At the moment, Penny is doing her fieldwork on Furtherfield, spending time at the Furtherfield Gallery with the current crafters and residency artists (AOS) and setting up interviews with different crew members, crafters and visiting artists. Since ethnography is “a decoding operation”, Penny is learning the language, verbal and symbolic, of the Furtherfield community and, hopefully, to acquire an insider’s perspective.
Karsten Schmidt & Daniel Hirschmann, will be discussing their project 'Technology Will Save Us' with Irini Papdimitriou & Jonathan Munro. A haberdashery for technology and alternative education space dedicated to helping people to produce anth d not just consume technology. www.technologywillsaveus.org
Karsten Schmidt (aka toxi) is a London based computational designer merging code, design, art & craft skills. Originally from East Germany and starting in the deep end of the early 8-bit demo scene, for the past 2 decades he's been adopting a trans-disciplinary way of working and been laterally involved in a wide range of digital disciplines. Daniel Hirschmann is a South Africa born artist who uses technology, relationships and spontaneity to enable his artistic practice.

The live sound and music performance is like no other medium for expression and unpredictability, frequently yielding interesting sonic results, both on, and off stage. Sound checks, sound failures, the misassigned patch, unintended playing outcomes, FX overloads / calibrations and pinnacles of performative exploration can all create sources for eclectic new material.

Open call to Remix the World! Reinvent Reality!
Through March 2011 Furtherfield is hosting REFF, a Fake Cultural Institution to launch, promote and distribute its Augmented Reality (AR) Drug to reinvent reality. Visit the exhibition to discover the effects of three innovative molecules created by REFF chemical lab: REMIXine, REINVENTum, REALITene; and to explore the alternative, stratified, mashed-up, remixed world which also feature Garrett Lynch, xname and Rebar Group.
http://www.furtherfield.org/exhibitions/reff-remix-world-reinvent-reality
Furtherfield is currently inviting artists, authors and practitioners to contribute to the project and take part in the reinvention of reality by adding their ideas, works and interventions to the REFF MAP, a real-time interactive map that describes the life of REFF all over the world: 60 authors, artists, designers, architects, hackers, journalists, activists; dozens of actions; a live and real-time stream of information collectively produced by a worldwide community of re-inventors.
Your submissions will be displayed permanently on the REFF map (http://reff.romaeuropa.org/) and at Furtherfield Gallery until 26 March 2011. They will also be featured on the REFF catalogue to be published later in the year by Furtherfield and Fake Press.
Please contact us if you feel that your actions are reinventing reality and, thus, should be added to the visualization.
