Welcome to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list! You are receiving this email because you are on the mailing list of SWITCH, the journal of the CADRE Laboratory for New Media at San Jose State University. You will only receive emails from us when we launch a new issue, which occurs a couple of times a year. We now have an automated mailing list system, so if you want to unsubscribe see the information at the bottom of this page. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Artistic collaboration can develop into a wide range of systems with varying results. Occasionally an effective social network is created that produces a successful work larger than the sum of its parts. What are the underpinnings of the collaborative structure? How do initial decisions shape its development? While most artists have collaborated, why do we not take the time to think about the process critically? This issue tackles collaboration by looking at it from multiple perspectives: genetics, eclectic electronica, love, urban planning, fashion, collectivism, curating, data and activism. SWITCH also has an exciting new look. In 1995 we began what has become a valuable historic documentation of the evolving theoretical and critical discourse within new media. With the launch of Issue 17, Collaboration, we have evolved this role even further by introducing a new platform for exploring alternative content publication models. Take a look and let us know what you think. -- Matt Mays, Managing Editor =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= __Features__ Our Work in 4 Ltrs.
