 Hi Netbehaviourists,

One of my main tasks at Furtherfield these days is dealing with its archive, which is challenging. Updating past material going back to the mid-90s is taking a long time. And, as you can imagine, not having massive budgets with an institution means less money to pay others to do the more time-consuming work. However, I have been enjoying reconnecting to past ventures with artists, writers and techies, and many are still on this list. It is an excellent resource of knowledge for digital, networked practitioners today, tomorrow, and of course, for ourselves who've been very much part of this amazing journey.

It still needs to be finished. But it will be ready early next year. Until then, I'll be posting on the list and on social media various (re)discoveries of our shared past which I know many on here will value and remember warmingly.

This is our history, and it was built from the ground up. Revisiting this rich and imaginatively diverse material of artistic, collective and individual energies has been an immense pleasure. It has been a privilege to know and work with you all, and this wild and messy history will be unearthed like radical folklore challenging the official and easily accepted narratives issued by top-down systems of hegemony.

Wishing you all well.
