[Reader-list] [Announcements] Campaign for Sustainability

[Jo-Anne Green]

Dear Friends,

Our annual Fundraising Campaign begins now. Once again, we need your
support. 

2008 was our most active year yet. We launched 30 COMMISSIONED works on
Turbulence.org and Networked_Music_Review; co-presented two exhibitions -
MIXED REALITIES (with Ars Virtua and Huret & Spector Gallery) and LUMENS
(with Greylock Arts and MCLA Gallery 51); co-presented two symposia -
FLOATING POINTS 5: MIXED REALITIES (with Emerson College) and PROGRAMMABLE
MEDIA II: NETWORKED_MUSIC (with Pace Digital Gallery); co-presented UPGRADE!
BOSTON (with Massachusetts College of Art and Design); and participated in
Upgrade! International: CHAIN REACTION (Skopje Macedonia).

What You Can Expect In 2009

1. NETWORKED: A (NETWORKED_BOOK) ABOUT (NETWORKED_ART): we are breaking
ground once again with this innovative project that received a grant from
the National Endowment for the Arts. Currently underway is an international
competition in which five writers will be commissioned ($3,000 US each) to
develop "chapters" that will be open for revision, commentary, and
translation by online collaborators. http://turbulence.org/networked

2. FLOATING POINTS 6: GAME OF CULTURE | ART OF GAMES: the sixth in our
annual speaker series with Emerson College, this will be a day-long
symposium with world-renowned speakers. We will also be screening Marcin
Ramocki's 8 BIT documentary (March 20-21).

3. PACE DIGITAL GALLERY (New York): three new works by New York artists
commissioned especially for this exhibition (spring).

4. UPGRADE! BOSTON: now in its 5th year, our monthly speaker series
continues at Massachusetts College of Art and Design.

5. TURBULENCE.ORG: new commissions, new works launched.

6. NETWORKED_PERFORMANCE and NETWORKED_MUSIC_REVIEW: we will continue to
bring you news, interviews, projects, events, and publications of interest.
