Upgrade! is an international, emerging network of autonomous nodes united by
art, technology, and a commitment to bridging cultural divides. Its
decentralized, non-hierarchical structure ensures that Upgrade! (i) operates
according to local interests and their available resources; and (ii)
reflects current creative engagement with cutting edge technologies. While
individual nodes present new media projects, engage in informal critique,
and foster dialogue and collaboration between individual artists, Upgrade!
International functions as an online, global network that gathers annually
in different cities to meet one another, showcase local art, and work on the
agenda for the following year.

Current Nodes: Amsterdam (Netherlands), Boston (United States), Chicago
(United States), Lisbon (Portugal), Johannesburg (South Africa), Istanbul
(Turkey), Montreal (Canada), Munich (Germany), New York (United States),
Oklahoma City (United States), Scotland, Seoul (South Korea), Sofia
(Bulgaria), Tel Aviv (Israel), Vancouver (Canada) and Wellington (New
Zealand).

Future Nodes:  Athens (Greece), Liverpool (United Kingdom), London (United
Kingdom),  and Toronto (Canada), will launch in the near future.

Organizations: Eyebeam, Turbulence.org, New Media Scotland, Art Centre Nabi,
The Western Front, The Society for Arts and Technology (SAT), InterSpace,
i-camp, DCA, CCA, No-Org.net, Art Interactive, NOMAD / santralistanbul,
program angels / lothringer13, Open-Node.com, t-u-b-e, C-M.TV, Lisboa 20,
AT. joburg, and the University of the Witwatersrand.

Upgrade! Background: Since April 1999, a group of new media artists and
curators have gathered in New York City. The first meeting took place at a
bar in the east village with Tim Whidden & Mark River [MTAA], Mark Napier
and founder Yael Kanarek. Upgrade! New York partnered with Eyebeam in March
2000.
