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 ?net behaviours? 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
?super-participant?
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! That?s the only way we?ll come to terms and fully grasp the
meaning of our evolving role as NetArtizens.
Best,
Randall
