Furtherfield - a Short Film by Pete Gomes.
http://www.furtherfield.org/projects/furtherfield-short-film-pete-gomes

Film and video artist Pete Gomes has created a new film about the 
artist-led online community Furtherfield. Featuring interviews with
Furtherfield co-directors Ruth Catlow and Marc Garret as well as 
artists, techies, games theorists and users of Furtherfield platforms, 
the short film captures a dynamic networking collective working across 
technology, social change and art.

"The generation of artists who first encountered the internet inevitably 
all came from other disciplines. The desire to explore this new medium 
shifted them away from making products and the commercial art markets 
towards looking at information and organisation, influenced by an 
interest in systems thinking and cybernetic ideas. This short shows 
Furtherfield has continued those early approaches and begins a process 
of attempting to explain those ideas." - Pete Gomes
