Furtherfield is looking for new Reviewers. Furtherfield receives regular submissions inviting us to feature and review artworks and projects from artists, non-artists, and art groups from all over the world. We have an excellent team of reviewers working with us. Yet, we find ourselves overwhelmed by the amount of amazing and challenging works exploring our (shared) cultures beyond traditional remits more than ever now. And, as you can imagine, it is not easy keeping up with the workload.
AND - The (alarming) trend by particular groups, only respecting those who reside in main cities such as London, New York or Berlin; because they are so desperate to please an outmoded art market system of scarcity - this only works to serve and perpetuate the hegemonies and hierarchies of an already established, making them stronger. This is boring and of course shallow, and it is just not good enough - we deserve something better. With you - we want to reclaim and free up our culture, take it back! Challenge us and challenge yourselves to break it down! Redistribute it! Let our shared culture BREATH once more! "In terms of culture, what I see developing is a new transnational culture, based on value and discourse communities, based on language, that are neither local, nor national, nor fully cosmopolitan, but 'trans-national'." Michel Bauwens. Founder of the Foundation for P2P Alternatives. http://su.pr/2R2jSz So - we are interested in writers who understand and know about (new) media art, P2P culture, net art, hacktivism, software art, social networks, live networked art, live Internet tv, free and open source software & hardware, digital recycling projects, tactical media, art blogs, net films, mobile phone projects, self institutions, psycho-geography, video games culture, activist games, as well as publications, books, events, projects, unconferences, exhibitions online/physical or both, and related conferences.
