Dear Nettimers:
"McLuhanite technological determinism" . . . !!
As maybe the only person from the Wall Street "wing" of the technology
industry (with at least one confirmed *weird* "assignment" from the CIA) to

A bit late on the thread -- I concur with Jaromil -- a fair, well-written, and
inclusive (as far as that goes) account of the list, kudos for taking the time
to compose it. Age does (productively or not) bring on reflection on the past,
and at two decades, well, it's now a collective history. Th
David, I agree that it's always great to see how Brian situates ideas
with incredible breadth. Maybe you should've asked him to write an essay
about nettime for your tactical media anthology. :^)

Dear nettimers,
It feels a bit awkward to respond in this thread as the co-editor of
the anthology this text is going to be part of, where I think the text
is going to be a great contribution, a fascinating account of twenty

Great to once again be able to tune in to Brian's imaginative sweep.
Just to add to Brian's example below important but informal
collaborations connected to nettime I would definitely add all (except

This is an intricate text with a lot of angles on the subject - not a
bad thing, since the subject in question is now 4,500 people! I want to
look behind just one sentence:
"From the beginning, served as an environment for
experimentation with the new medium and, beyond that, as a collaborati
The unsaid conclusion is that nettime did not get coopted in any
particular (and ultimately ephemeral) movement/activism and did not
develop stifling intimacy. It remained slightly uncomfortable for all
involved, which is a quality rarely attained.

O
so good!!! thanks! this text comes timely and is a motivating read.
recently you noticed i started being around nettime more often... this
little historical text here is a great milestone and feels also very
inclusive. I approve and always recommend recommend making less
individual names, but per
Eric Kluitenberg and David Garcia asked us to draft an entry/essay
on for their upcoming anthology on tactical media, so we
did. But it quickly became clear that if we seriously believed our
our argument, we'd need to invite comments from the entire list. So,
