users, artists, reviewers & groups.

- An updated 'Public Broadcast' section for visitors/users to add and 
promote projects and events.

an area where users can recommend their own favourite reviews, artworks, 
interviews featured on Furtherfield for others to view.

- New sections for easy access to view artists/reviewers and 
reviews/articles on Furtherfield.

- Updated system so that reviewers are now able to add their own reviews 
themselves.

update/add new work, projects and material to their personal ID cards on 
Furtherfield whenever they wish to.

Remember, Furtherfield is still free and everything is accessible and

Furtherfiield Behaviour Statement:

Furtherfield was founded in London in 1996 and is the collaborative work 
of artists, programmers, writers, activists, musicians and thinkers who 
explore beyond traditional remits; dedicated to the creation, promotion, 
and criticism of adventurous digital/networked media art work for public 
viewing, experience and interaction. Developing imaginative strategies 
in a range of digital & terrestrial media contexts, Furtherfield 
develops global, contributory projects that facilitate art activity 
simultaneously on the Internet, the streets and public venues.

An artist-led group that utilizes networked media to create, explore, 
nurture and promote the art that happens when connections are made and 
knowledge is shared - across the boundaries of established art-world 
institutions and their markets, grass-roots artistic and activist 
projects and communities of socially-engaged software developers. This 
is a spectrum that engages from the maverick media-art-makers and small 
collectives of cross-specialist practitioners, to projects that critique 
and change dominant hierarchical structures as part of their art process.
