Subject: Membership fees for Rhizome

Below is are samples from the discussion on membership fees that took place
in October and November of 2002:

SAMPLE RESPONSES IN SUPPORT:

From: Jim Goertz (jgoertz@telusplanet.net)

Rhizome, delivers a marketable service that includes sense of community,
information, intellectual stimulation etc. I as an artist, cultural
worker, independent, I find value in the service you provide. I would be
more than willing to pay for it. It would not be wrong to ask for a fee,
nor would it be wrong to introduce a sliding scale based on the level of
services the user requires. A free trial or guest login would be good
since many who browse the material are students ( I teach and often
direct my students to rhizome)

Re: Re: Buy Nothing Day


in the context of this piece, for which the internal content and premise of
buy nothing day both depend on a critique of western consumerism, it made
sense to me to mention thanksgiving and the biggest shopping day -- that day
is actually a huge event on the financial radars. it's just relevant to this
art work/collective effort. sorry that you don't care, or if the information
offended art sensibilties or seemed only us-inclusive, rachel

Re: Re:


valery, your critique relies on a very traditional understanding of 'artist'
as author -- a notion that is actually in extreme conflict with the internal
content and structure of rhizome. how mark represents rhizome in the public,
including his statement for langton, has nothing to do with the myth of the
genius artist you're invoking to criticise him. (i would also point out that
looking at mark's body of work, most of it, formally, and in terms of its
internal content, is collaborative.)

we try very hard here to nurture a non-hierarchical and participatory
project in which those artist/auteur/founder roles are not supported by the
functioning and content of rhizome. and we are very open about who we are...
about our finances -- the ways we make money, raise money and spend money.
since we haven't been able to raise money from our own community, our
organizational survival has depended on compromising some of these
idealistic values, which we recognize.

but these anti-hierarchical, collaborative values have ALWAYS been stated
aspects of rhizome. and there is some self-interest at work in this, by mark
and by me, but because we have a stake in the success of rhizome, of new
media art, in our colleauges, peers, and future generations of artists and
critics.
