[Turbulence]

Dear Friends,

We need your support. If you:

-- are one of the thousands of people who regularly visit Turbulence.org,
Networked_Performance, Networked_Music_Review and/or New American Radio

and/or

-- are one of the hundreds of teachers who use Turbulence works in your new
media/digital art courses

and/or

-- are an artist who has received a Turbulence, Networked_Music_Review or
New American Radio commission

and/or

-- have presented at or attended Upgrade! Boston (Art Interactive or
Massachusetts College of Art and Design), Floating Points (Emerson College),
or Programmable Media (Pace Digital Gallery)

now is the time to give something back. 

We cannot continue without your help. We MUST raise $25,000 by December 31,
2007.

WHAT WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED IN 2007

In addition to an exceptional year of supporting artists through
commissions, public events, and our world-renowned resource,
Networked_Performance, we started a second blog called
Networked_Music_Review (NMR). On it you will find in-depth interviews with
sonic artists and musicians; world-wide events highlighted in real time; a
"Weekly" post spotlighting interesting works, artists and conversations; a
monthly newsletter which summarizes each month's activities; and much more.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN 2008

On November 15, NMR began launching fifteen commissioned works, several of
which will premiere live at "Programmable Media II: Networked_Music," a
2-day symposium at Pace University, New York City in April 2008.

In addition to launching 20 new commissioned works, other upcoming
highlights include "Mixed Realities," an exhibition and symposium at Emerson
College, winter 2008; and "Re(Connecting) the Adamses," a major exhibition
co-presented with Greylock Arts (Adams, Massachusetts) and MCLA Gallery 51
(North Adams, Massachusetts), summer 2008.
