Interview by Ryan Griffis.* The interview took place via email in the Spring of 2004. Ryan Griffis asks Randall Packer about the initial formation of the US Department of Art and Technology, how it came about, who is involved and its current activities. The US Department of Art & Technology is an artist-led, virtual government agency. The Department proposes and supports the idealized definition of the role of the artist in society as one whose reflections, ideas, aesthetics, sensibilities, and abilities can have significant and transformative social impact on the world stage. http://www.furtherfield.org/furthercriticreview.php?review_id=16 *'Glass Rondo' by Beoff at NonTVTV - Review by Ruth Catlow.* 'Glass Rondo' was made and broadcast in 2003 by the Stockholm-based artist collective, Beeoff, who has dedicated the last few years to developing the software, infrastructure and arts content for NonTVTV. NonTVTV has worked with the multicast-protocol to raise the bandwidth and therefore the potential richness of the medium whilst preserving the benefits of lateral production and distribution. By establishing nodes in international public art venues it has also asserted and promoted the medium as a valid extension of formal artistic expression. http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?From=Index&review_id=96 *The Trans-European Picnic - Review by Helen Varley Jamieson.* The Trans-European Picnic aimed to bring artists and theorists together for two days of discussion, debate and creative reflection on what the growth of the EU means for artists, particularly those in the ever-shrinking non-EU Europe. The programme included a workshop, artists' presentations, forums, film screenings, performances, a visit to the Chapel of Peace, a handbook and the picnic itself. http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?review_id=98 *Interview with Doron Golan - by Darshana Vora.* Doron Golan is an artist with a well- established reputation in the net art community and recent recipient of a Turbulence commission. His work and life branches out to address the new media practice of his peers in a very real and personal way in his work as collector and patron of computerfinearts.com. This 'initiative of supporting net arts and the artist's community, to form a new arts publication, presentation and distribution platform' has helped him to understand/realise his work in the context of the community and the time. The following interview focuses on his work as an artist. http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?From=Index&review_id=99 *big (b)Other - Review by Ivan Monroy-L--pez.* Looking back, at 'big (b)Other', a collaborative weblog coordinated by fran Ilich during February 2003 which was part of the Walker Art Center's "How Latitudes Become Forms" exhibition. In the about section, big (b)Other describes itself as "a different kind of reality show that bothers to attempt to explore the many 'Others' that constitute our globally (dis)connected world". http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?From=Index&review_id=95 ________________________________________________________ Furtherfield is an online platform for the creation, promotion, criticism and archiving of adventurous digital/net artwork for public viewing, experience and interaction. Furtherfield creates imaginative strategies that actively communicate ideas and issues in a range of digital & terrestrial media contexts; featuring works online and organising global, contributory projects, simultaneously on the Internet, the streets and public venues. Furtherfield focuses on network related projects that explore new social contexts that transcend the digital, or offer a subjective voice that communicates beyond the medium. Furtherfield collaborates with artists, programmers, writers, activists, musicians and thinkers who explore beyond traditional remits. The majority of activities are self funded and are sustained by the passion, ideas, exploration and skills of the Furtherfield team as well as its diverse membership. Occasional public funding facilitates a more in-depth collaboration with programmers and artists on specific projects, usually leading to more intuitive audience interaction and accessibility.
