[NetBehaviour] Furtherfield Archive news!

[marc.garrett]

Hi Helen,

It certainly is, but a lot of archiving has been done in the background, mainly data collecting and compiling, and currently, book writing. 

Specific individuals will be contacted if they're listed in the book as respondents for particular chapters. However, it will all take its time. But, it's happening and looking back at the material is impressive.


Wishing you well
Marc

Nearly 30 years’ worth of artworks, events, projects, exhibitions, books, magazines, and more. It’s thrilling to see so much physical evidence of this vibrant history right at our fingertips.

More brilliant minds are joining the mix—we’re just fine-tuning the details to make sure everything aligns smoothly.

Artists who’ve spent decades (and still are!) smashing boundaries, ditching tired art-world tropes, and building emancipatory new worlds. Their work is a masterclass in sharp critique, blending art, tech, ecology, and media to ask necessary questions as part of the practice. History in motion, and we get to help amplify it.
