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.

Chalking Outside Rhizome...
Hi everyone,
Some of the furtherfield crew will be chalking on the steps and on the
street (outside) Rhizome next week, in New York.
'uRBAn ReLaTiOnIsts', will meet with who ever turns up, chalk your
sigils/signs/messages, chalk you tags, draw your images, txt and expound
your psychogeographic sensibilities. Only chalk please...oh yes, bring your
own chalks also.
If any of the Rhizome crew are around, perhaps some of them would want to
join in on the fun and chalk their own scribblings with us.
All images will be put up on Furtherfield a week after the occassion. This
is a non political event, a creative bit of fun exploring spatial anomolies,
virtual non virtual.
Of course if anyone has any coffees or tea, soft drinks from inside the
Rhizome office to quench the potential thirst of participants, we would of
course be very grateful.
OK - who's coming? DATE: 25th April.
Please mail openly on the list if you want to meet there...
