Greetings Everyone: First, thank you Marc & Ruth, along with Nick Briz & Joseph Chiocchi from 0p3nr3p0.net, who have been working for the past weeks to create the NetArtizens Project, which begins today and culminates with the Art of the Networked Practice | Online Symposium (March 31 April 2).
So to begin the conversation, what does it mean to be a NetArtizen? That is the subject at hand over the next month, not to be defined by us, but fleshed out in in this space through all the varying perspectives that make up this community. And furthermore, as NetArtizens, we ask: how has your practice as an artist, educator, writer scholar & activist been shaped / catalyzed / transformed / by your use of the network? How has the Net altered the creation, contextualization, and diffusion of your work? How has the Net impacted your studio process? And finally, in reference to this forum, what are the various ³net behaviours² that result in the immersion & flow of media creation, research, and information distribution that we participate in each and every day via the network? As we consider and discuss these questions (and more!), we approach the NetArtizens Project as an opportunity to experiment in the power of the network to catalyze collective narrative. As NetArtizens, we have the means to tell our stories, share our work, debate our opinions - not just as individual broadcasters speaking to the multitude but collaboratively in a hyper-distributed, socially-engaged, many-to-many exchange of ideas and opinion. We invite you to explore the NetArtizens Project, survey the landscape of discourse & production we have provided, and become a ³super-participant² by shaping & sharing & disseminating the ongoing narrative. If the flow of this project becomes a drowning experience, we ask that you embrace and critique it! That¹s the only way we¹ll come to terms and fully grasp the meaning of our evolving role as NetArtizens.
