## Nungu

Hi Everyone:
This week has generated a lot of discussion about our commission award to
Nungu. We want to reassure everyone that we have looked into the situation
and do not believe that Nungu received the award under false pretenses. We
have also seen updates of the project, which is near completion.
We appreciate everyone's concern about the situation, and hope that Nungu's
many collaborators will be able to focus their energies on finishing the
project.
Best,
Mark

## Are Friends Elecrtric?

<<from http://www.arefriendselectric.com>>
Hi. Starting today, Friday July 26, 2002, approximately four dozen artists, writers, and musicians are posting online personal ads, confronting the commercialization of personal relationships, exploring the idea of online identities, and maybe trying to pick someone up. We picked Nerve.com <http://personals.nerve.com> because of their overt focus on a hipper, artier clientelle (not coincidentally a much-covetted marketing demographic).

## Leah Gilliam & Mark Tribe @ New Museum in NYC

Dates:
Tue Jul 30, 2002 00:00 - Fri Jul 26, 2002

Please join us for a Digital Culture Evening on Tuesday, July 30th from 6:30-8pm in the New Museum's Zenith Media Lounge: a conversation between artist Leah Gilliam and curator Mark Tribe on Leah's current project in the
Media Lounge, Agenda for a Landscape, on view through September 22nd.
In Agenda for a Landscape the gallery becomes an abandoned NASA command center showcasing computer manipulated footage of Mars, obtained by the Sojourner Rover (Remotely Operated Vehicular Robot) in NASA's 1997 Mars Pathfinder mission, combined with Gilliam's own video work and other found imagery. By creating an entirely new Martian landscape, Gilliam raises questions about telerobotic technology and the authenticity of information that is disseminated over time and space.
This Digital Culture Evening conversation is free and open to the public.
The New Museum is located at 583 Broadway, between Houston and Prince Streets in New York City. For more information, please call 212.219.1222 or check www.newmuseum.org.

## Re: can rhizome provide web hosting service?

Hi Teoman:
The short answer is yes, we can now provide web hosting service as a
reseller for a commercial hosting company called Datex.net.
We tried out Interland as part of our web hosting beta test, and were also
not happy with their service. Like a lot of big web hosting companies (they
are the biggest), Interland grew very quickly by buying smaller web hosting
companies. Apparently, they haven't done a great job integrating their
businesses. They also have a reputation for "churn and burn" sales
practices (i.e. they set very aggressive goals for new customer
acquisition, and accept a high turnover rate due to poor service).
We are just completing our beta test, and are getting ready to offer web
hosting services to the whole community shortly.
Here's a little info on our hosting services:
As a reseller, we won't get involved in the actual hosting of your site.
Hosting is a tough business to do well, so we decided to find a partner who
specializes in hosting. As the host, Datex.net owns and manages the hosting
facilities, handles all billing, customer service and technical support
matters. You would sign a contract directly with datex.net.
Datex.net is a mid-size hosting company with facilities in the US and the
UK. We selected them after a thorough review of the field. Based on our
beta test experience, the seem to be one of the best.
Through Datex.net, we're offering shared hosting, dedicated hosting and
collocation. Shared hosting accounts start at $14.95 per month for the most
basic plan. Plans with higher transfer allowances, more storage space and
more features are more expensive. Details are online at
http://datex.net/hosting/basic.htm. If you're interested in a dedicated or
collocated server, let me know.
If you want to sign up for a shared hosting account, go right ahead. Just
send me an email to let me know, so I can tell Datex.net you're a Rhizome
member. Then we get a % of the fees you pay Datex.
Here are some reasons to go with us:
* Datex.net offers the best combination of price and quality of service
that we've found
* Rhizome.org will earn a percentage of the fees you pay Datex.net
* By choosing Rhizome/Datex.net, you help ensure Rhizome.org's survival
* If you want, we'll list your hosted site on Rhizome.org
Please let me know if you have any questions. And if Rhizome/Datex.net
meets your needs, please do sign up for an account.
Best,
Mark
