Hello
We (Marc, I and the Furtherfield crew) are in a process of major
organisational review at the moment. We are reworking out how to value
what we all do by trying out new lenses, tools and strategies in
response to inevitable changes to our environment (political, social

I think we are in a very difficult time for artists. On one hand, we
are in a point where work that at least derives from our culture is
having some success in the Contemporary milieu, and I can't fault people
wanting to look at conventional forms of success, although I am

Hi Alan,
I think you’re misunderstanding me and getting bogged down in semantics. I do
think that there are lots of people making really excellent art that is
relevant to the world as it is today, I never suggested that that wasn’t the
case. It’s great that you’ve found some of those people in
Hi Gretta,
We're a bit in disagreement here, not too much. When you say "I am saying,
we should urge ourselves to look outside of the art worlds, look at our
context, our neighbours, our community, society, world, and try to make
work that engages with that in the most meaningful ways we can.
Haha, Alan there is no imperative in what I said, there is a plea, a hope, a
wish. The imperative comes from outside and above - the imperative to “make a
living”, the imperative to pay taxes, the imperative to write reports with
quantitative analysis of why funding you received was well spent e
I'm sorry I have not been more active. Zayed University has had me
running hard as I try to build a VR lab and work on a new gallery

From what I gather from the conversation, there seems to be a bit of
despair over the role of networked art in the cultural noosphere. In

Is there a mainstream art world? "The mainstream art world waited to utter
the term "Internet art" until they could safely add the prefix "post-" to
it" Jon Ippolito I think these reifications might be too simple, as are

I like that quote, Marc, and I think you’re right about a lot of those points.
The only thing I would point out is that for me Net Art and Post-Internet Art
have almost nothing to do with one another. They are as similar as Body
Art/Performance Art and an oil painting of a nude.
But I do think
Hi Annie & Gretta,
yes, you're both bringing up something that has been at the forefront of
mine & Ruth's, discussions, intentions, and actions -- for a while now.
Hence, why Furtherfield exists in the first place...

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how often the art, the revolutionary,
meaningful kind, at the moment is truly in creating structures and platforms
for ideas and people to engage. What comes out at the end - the video/prints
