::fibreculture::
You are invited to join the ::fibreculture:: mailing list - a forum for critical Australian net culture and research, founded in January 2001 by David Teh and Geert Lovink. ::fibreculture:: is not a conversational chat space. The purpose of the list is to have an exchange of articles, ideas and arguments on Australian IT policy and practice in a broad context.
Fibreculture is a community of critical thinkers engaged with new media/Internet theory and practice, with a view to constructing strategic images of innovation, R+D in applications and culture of new technology in Australasia.
The Fibreculture website at http://www.fibreculture.org contains information about past and future fibreculture activities, including:
- the fibreculture announce list (for notices about events, publications, jobs, etc of relevance to the fibreculture community);
- meetings in Melbourne (2001), Sydney (2002), Brisbane (2003), Perth (2004: with BEAP);
- a book: Brown, Hugh, Geert Lovink, Helen Merrick, Ned Rossiter, David Teh, and Michele Willson (eds) (2001) Politics of a digital present: an inventory of Australian Net culture, criticism and theory, Melbourne: Fibreculture Publications;
- future events
While we certainly hope to stimulate real debate about these issues, the ::fibreculture:: list, website and meetings are best considered as steering mechanisms, rather than sites for polemics. Their tone should remain constructive and consultative - not adversarial.
The list is growing steadily and now has over 1000 subscribers. To join fibreculture and fibreculture-announce lists, submit your email address and password through the form at towards the bottom of these pages:
http://fibreculture.org/mailman/listinfo/list_fibreculture.org
http://fibreculture.org/mailman/listinfo/announce_fibreculture.org
Underneath the subscribe options on this form is a field that will allow unsubscribe, get a password reminder or change subscription options.
We invite all new subscribers to introduce themselves to the list - tell us about your work (practical, research, commercial or otherwise) and what issues you think the list needs to focus on. We encourage all participants to send their new and old content (essays, interviews, reviews, etc.) to the list so that a data base of critical material will grow over time, accesible through an open web archive. We suggest that new subscribers may find interest in trawling through the list's archives.
