BACKGROUND

Networked proposes that a history or critique of interactive and/or participatory art must itself be interactive and/or participatory; that the technologies used to create a work suggest new forms a “book” might take.

In 2008, Turbulence.org and its project partners — NewMediaFix, Telic Arts Exchange, and Freewaves – issued an international, open call for chapter proposals. We invited contributions that critically and creatively rethink how networked art is categorized, analyzed, legitimized — and by whom — as norms of authority, trust, authenticity and legitimacy evolve.

Our international committee consisted of: Steve Dietz (Northern Lights, MN) :: Martha Gabriel (net artist, Brazil) :: Geert Lovink (Institute for Network Cultures, The Netherlands) :: Nick Montfort (Massachusetts Institute for Technology, MA) :: Anne Bray (LA Freewaves, LA) :: Sean Dockray (Telic Arts Exchange, LA) :: Jo-Anne Green (NRPA, MA) :: Eduardo Navas (newmediaFIX) :: Helen Thorington (NRPA, NY)

Built by Matthew Belanger (our hero!), http://networkedbook.org is powered by WordPress, CommentPress and BuddyPress.

Networked was made possible with funds from the National Endowment for the Arts (United States). Thank you.

We are deeply grateful to Eduardo Navas for his commitment to both this project and past collaborations with Turbulence.org.

When the Milwaukee Artist Resource Network MARN named Melissa Musante as its first full-time Executive Director last February, our interest here at TCD was piqued. Musante came to MARN with an impressive resume including several years as Associate Director at Film Wisconsin; prior to that, she was the National Outreach Sales Manager for Utrecht Art Supplies from 2003-2006.

Musante had been active with MARN as a visual artist before assuming the role of ED and has been showing her work both as a painter and an independent filmmaker in the Milwaukee area for years.

Under the direction of former ED Mike Brenner and Interim Director Melissa Dorn Richards, MARN was able to provide some of the most innovative resources for artists, and both leaders played pivotal roles in helping Milwaukee’s arts scene grow exponentially. Since its founding in 2000, MARN has been able to operate as a network…
