> BACKGROUND
>
> “Networked” proposes that a history or critique of interactive and/or  
> participatory art must itself be interactive and/or participatory;  
> that the technologies used to create a work suggest new forms a “book”  
> might take.
>
> In 2008, Turbulence.org and its project partners -- NewMediaFix, Telic  
> Arts Exchange, and Freewaves – issued an international, open call for  
> chapter proposals. We invited contributions that critically and  
> creatively rethink how networked art is categorized, analyzed,  
> legitimized -- and by whom -- as norms of authority, trust,  
> authenticity and legitimacy evolve.
>
> Our international committee consisted of: Steve Dietz (Northern  
> Lights, MN) :: Martha Gabriel (net artist, Brazil) :: Geert Lovink  
> (Institute for Network Cultures, The Netherlands) :: Nick Montfort

> Networked was made possible with funds from the National Endowment for  
> the Arts (United States). Thank you.

> We are deeply grateful to Eduardo Navas for his commitment to both
