Re: Prix Ars Electronica new category


Wow -- that is incredibly interesting. What does it mean to treat a
collective, fanbase, etc., as an art thing to be rewarded? Seems to me
to indicate that Ars is progressive enough to reward tactics and
methods, as opposed to just objects. Thanks for posting this! -- Rachel

Re: Mr. Wong's Soup'Partments


Wow... cool site. Never seen it before. I don't know anything about the
operational or discursive happenings of Mr Wong's but I think the
metaphor of the crowded, teetering, yet regimented apartment house is
apt for a moment when many online communities are sufficiently expanded
that their challenges now include diversity, crowd and discourse
management. Case in point -- think of how Nettime is run and the tenor
of that list which is, in my view, pretty atomized and impersonal.
Multivocal, formal, only occasionally social and definitely not
identified as being in the community mode (see their far-reaching
freakout when asked to participate, as a community, in the DC Forum). I
also think, that while this hasn't been an issue on Rhizome lately,
many online forums have to manage the discussion of political reality
or risk implosion (which is what happened to the Syndicate list
following the UN campaign in Kosovo) -- a real-world corollary to
Wong's style and content restrictions. On the other hand, Wong's site
does seem like communimage in that it's presented as a participatory,
communal initiative but is really a fairly controlled formal,
design-driven experiment.

Perhaps people from the number of new forums that have sprung forth in
the last few years -- nine, the pool, discordia, furtherfield, consume,
etc. -- might want to comment on their particular community trope. Oh,
another cool one is communiculture -- http://www.communiculture.org/.
