> New Langton Arts--nonprofit (camerawork, nla, and southern exposure, below,
> all share a 28-yr b-day) that shows performing, visual, literary, and new
> media work. most of this revolves around net art. richard rinehart (an
> artist & uc berkeley lecturer) curates an online project space for them.

> SMAC--sf media arts council, loosely affliated with sfmoma. we organize
> short-run shows at the museum, panel discussions, and produce a zine which
> is a low-tech paper-only affair guest designed as an "art object" by a
> different designer, each issue, and featuring essays and original art
> "installations" by a range of artists, critics, theorists, and curators. we
> also just started a discussion salon series where 3 artists present their

> party.

> The Lab--another nonprofit. in the mission (16th & capp). a frequent site
> of exhibitions, and performances in the media arts genre.

> GenArtSF--gen art in sf is very different from gen art in nyc or la, with
> much more of a visual arts focus. we organize a show, every year, called
> NewFangle, which features ~12 emerging bay area artists doing
> "technology-based" work. every year, the 4 curators selected define
> "technology" in their selections. this has been a launching pad for many
> artists. we also organize prublic programs, ranging form panel discussions
> and a/v performances to professional development workshops for artists.

> Blasthaus--these guys have nonprofit & for-profit arms. their bread and
> butter lies in organizing big dj events but they also collaborate with arts
> orgs to produce exhibitions, a/v performances, and their annual Transcinema
> festival.

> you'd also meet many interesting folks at Survivial Research Labs' (SRL)

> Greater Bay Area:
>
> UC Berkeley--ken goldberg organizes a regular lecture series (monday
> nights) featuring prominent members of the media arts community discussing

> CADRE Institute/San Jose State--officially, this is an mfa program, but
> it's also a south bay node for the media arts, producing the online
> journal, Switch, and bringing in artists & leaders for programs & dialogue
> around new media. thir gallery currently features a show by jennifer &
> kevin mccoy.

> Zero:One--formerly known as Ground Zero, this group
> sponsors/organizes/incubates art projects, shows, publications,
> conferences, etc on the media arts. they have a mission to merge the art &
