Over the last decade, THE THING has played a seminal role not just in
fostering a generation of network-oriented artists, critics, curators,
and activists, but also--and equally important-- searching out ways to
interconnect their diverse interests and activities. It is no
exaggeration to say that the list of people and projects THE THING has
been supporting comprises a who's who of contemporary electronic
culture.
