Since 1991 THE THING has provided an ongoing venue for developing, 
supporting, and presenting innovative media art and criticism.

 From sponsoring a prescient electronic edition by the noted artist 
Peter Halley in 1993, the ranks of artists who were among the earliest 
to explore the possibilities of electronic networks through THE THING 
include Beat Streuli, Mariko Mori, Rainer Ganahl, Craig Kalpakjian and 
Daniel Pflumm.  Similarly, notable curators such as Benjamin Weil and 
Jordan Crandall undertook many of their foundational projects in 
conjunction with THE THING.

THE THING has served as a workplace with access to production and 
network facilities for visiting artists, cultural workers, and 
technicians; as a space for ad hoc gatherings, events, and exhibitions; 
and as the publisher and maintainer of a series of arts-oriented 
newsletters and publicly accessible websites, most notably the THE THING 
BBS at http://bbs.thing.net.

Please contribute to this ongoing, innovative cultural project.
