Hi All!
Yes, I know there are many problems. And it's vital to point at them.
I posted this call here because I would very much like it to attract
some proposals for excellent critical work.
The Space will attract a lot attention and has a large investment of
money and attention from two huge British cultural institutions. I fear
that there exists a significant knowledge gap (which is depressing and
disappointing) about the many strands and decades of electrifyingly good
work (art practice, theory and politics) in digital contexts.
It needs to be hacked into it (culturally) to make it work _fo__r_ us.
Don't know quite what that looks like yet but...
BOING!

Doug Rocket's accountant was BBC's current Sherlock Holmes. That
probably says it all about the state of current arts funding.

I know nothing about the context of this project. But is it just me
or does it bear a resemblance to the Place project run by Doug Rocket
in Nathan Barley?

Founder member of seminal 1980s politi-synth electro rock duo the
Veryphonics, Doug Rocket is one of the most important figures to have
emerged in the history of clueless self-indulgence. Rocket's latest
project is the experimental artsphere Place, a multimillion-pound
creative enablement hive, which comprises studios, galleries,
minglespace, thoughtcupboards, flotation melds and an Eric Clapton
memorial songwriting vineyard. Place is designed to empower anyone
who wishes to explore an idea to its full potential (especially if
they also declare a need to do this in the foetal position, sustained
by empowering wafts of Amazonian oxygen and the jarred farts of
Krishnamurti), and might as well be replaced by a gigantic furnace
that Rocket can shovel skyscraping piles of banknotes into with
spectral, uncomprehending joy in his eyes.
