As part of honouring a pledge made with Marc Garrett 'We Won't Fly For
Art', http://www.pledgebank.com/wewontflyforart/ - Ruth has actively

Ars Electronica's 30 year celebration festival in Linz, Austria and The
Eclectic Tech Carnival in Istanbul, Turkey. Overland: the first leg to
Human Nature, is her 1st written account of this 10 day journey from

More about The Furtherfield Blog:
This multi-blog is a place to intuitively explore media arts and related
practices, together, as it occurs, to develop understanding and to
learn, without any pressure to formulate conclusions, it is about
experience and process, the bits in between. Set up in Autumn 2006,
initially as a place for informal, day to day exchange between members
of the Furtherfield.org team, including editors/reviewers. We soon
discovered this format suited some people more than others and are now
open to new contributors. The blog is not intended as a platform to
promote particular projects. Instead it invites individuals to explore
their own perspectives on their own terms; personal thoughts, emotional
responses and critical intentions rarely publicly discussed elsewhere.
