A few links that might add to the debate
An example of a people based open model for creating work in the
performing arts ........Here at body>data>space we work with an
interauthorship process that we have used successfully for many
projects over the years ( since 1990 as shinkansen and Future
Physical) to aid non hierarchical group processes, allow equal input
and modification in a peer2peer development mode and to enable
natural emergent dynamics .....see this Group process Brief at
http://www.rescen.net/Ghislaine_Boddington/theweave/item3.html
This process is discussed in the essays on the same site. At present
we are running our Post Me_New ID project with this methodology too.
It is used alongside virtual networking, can be adapted for non
performance projects and we have several operational templates we use
as part of the process.

NODE:London is an open organisational model
In order to raise the visibility of media arts practice in and around
the capital, NODE.London [Networked, Open, Distributed, Events.
London] has worked as an open organisation, using consensus decision-
making and pooling ideas, resources and even people. It has sought to
fortify existing media arts networks and to encourage production and
experimentation, whilst assisting in the articulation of such
innovative artistry to a wider audience.

NODE.London is calling a seasonal gathering of media art, showing how
London is budding with fresh exhibitions, discussions, musical events
and participatory projects.
This website will soon be filling with an ongoing programme from
Spring 2008. Until then, you can browse the archive of the first
NODE.London season of media arts in March 2006.
NODE.London is open to any person or group who wants to help spread
media art and related activity around London and beyond! If you would
like to get involved, please check the NODE.London wiki and come to
one of our regular meetings and introduce yourself.
