[Johannes Birringer]

This tribute to Turbulence, so eloquently written by our friends Ruth and Marc,
needs to be wholeheartedly underwritten -. I found it very moving. 

thank you

Hi Helen and Jo,

We’re writing this while on holiday with a dodgy Internet connection, and too 
much to do which has nothing to do with being on holiday.

However, on hearing that Turbulence is winding down, we had to respond and 
rightly, announce with others how important and brilliant your work has been 
over the last 20 years. And, because we share similar values alongside a 
dynamic history regarding net art, and other art projects engaged in using 
digital networks and technology.

Turbulence is great for so many reasons:

-You have built through the years a fantastic database and resource of 
newly commissioned work.

-You didn’t conform to the (tediously easy) neoliberal defaults and its 
trappings.

-You supported artists not based on their privilege and status, but focused 
on the needs of the art itself, and the context of the practice.

-You helped artists new to various technologies to create & experiment with 
new projects, on their own terms.

-You expressed a genuine interest in the artists and their work, and the 
larger community. Meaning the artists were not just data, or fodder.

-You made an effort to understand the artworks and the contexts behind them.

-You allowed digital art movements to develop in their own ways and 
actively supported them. Not because it was trendy, but because it was 
excellent and interesting in its own right. That takes guts.

-You’ve been open to a wider international community beyond limitations of 
race, gender, religion, and especially the ogres of nationalism and 
centralization.

Your decision to end Turbulence of course represents something very significant 
to many people allover the world.

To us, this news gives rise to an extra feeling of unhappiness as a long-time 
ally and friend leaves us to fend alone. It has been a real pleasure having you 
out there. Turbulence was and still is, an org that has a heart and soul. You 
offered us integrity and generosity.

And, even though it is an end of an era as many are saying, it is the start of 
others (hopefully) giving you something back, by including Turbulence in their 
histories and much much more...

Wishing you well.

Marc and Ruth from Furtherfield.

[NetBehaviour] To Turbulence

Hi Helen and Jo,

We’re writing this while on holiday with a dodgy Internet connection, and
too much to do which has nothing to do with being on holiday.
