We are pleased to announce a new Furtherfield with the creation, design 
and technical development of a dynamic content management system (CMS). 
We invite our ever-increasing users, audiences, practitioners, and 
digitally, cross and poly-culturally focused explorers to continue with 
us in the discovery of viewing, researching and sharing contemporary 
media art.

New changes/features to Furtherfield include:

- All reviews/interviews of artists projects are now tagged from the 
front page and through the site, so that users can find related 
information, either about projects, subjects, artists, groups, 
interviews, reviewers, genre etc...

- A more comprehensive and user friendly ID card section which include 
users, artists, reviewers & groups.

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

- Under the 'Public Broadcast' section on the front page we have set up 
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.

- Updated system so that it is easier for artists and groups to 
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 
can be linked from outside of the site itself.

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.
