Dear Friends,

During 2004, its best year since its founding in 1996, Turbulence commissioned 18 new works, spotlighted 8 projects, and began hosting 6 new artists’ studios. We also launched our networked_performance blog and co-organized a lecture series with Emerson College, Boston. Our plans for 2005 include as many commissions, a second lecture series, a panel discussion, and the launch of Upgrade! Boston. to be hosted by Art Interactive.

Despite the expansion of our projects and the acceleration of our support for net artists over the past two-and-a-half years, Turbulence has not seen a parallel increase in its operating support. As a result, much of our hard work forgoes compensation. And because of the enormous rise in traffic, we’ve witnessed the need for increased server storage and co-location fees; the situation became critical during October because two recently launched projects, ASCII BUSH and 1 Year Performance Video, far exceeded the limits of our monthly bandwidth.

We need your support. Please help Turbulence stay alive by going to http://turbulence.org and clicking on the PayPal button.

Thanks.

Jo-Anne Green and Helen Thorington
