Sorry for any cross posting...

Furtherfield is looking for new Reviewers.

Furtherfield receives regular submissions inviting us to feature and 
review artworks and projects from artists, non-artists, and art groups 
from all over the world. We have an excellent team of reviewers working 
with us. Yet, we find ourselves overwhelmed by the amount of amazing and 
challenging works exploring our (shared) cultures beyond traditional 
remits more than ever now. And, as you can imagine, it is not easy 
keeping up with the workload.

AND - The (alarming) trend by particular groups, only respecting those 
who reside in main cities such as London, New York or Berlin; because 
they are so desperate to please an outmoded art market system of 
scarcity - this only works to serve and perpetuate the hegemonies and 
hierarchies of an already established, making them stronger. This is 
boring and of course shallow, and it is just not good enough - we 
deserve something better. With you - we want to reclaim and free up our 
culture, take it back! Challenge us and challenge yourselves to break it 
down! Redistribute it! Let our shared culture BREATH once more!

"In terms of culture, what I see developing is a new transnational 
culture, based on value and discourse communities, based on language, 
that are neither local, nor national, nor fully cosmopolitan, but 
'trans-national'." Michel Bauwens. Founder of the Foundation for P2P 
Alternatives. http://su.pr/2R2jSz

So - we are interested in writers who understand and know about (new) 
media art, P2P culture, net art, hacktivism, software art, social 
networks, live networked art, live Internet tv, free and open source 
software & hardware, digital recycling projects, tactical media, art 
blogs, net films, mobile phone projects, self institutions, 
psycho-geography, video games culture, activist games, as well as 
publications, books, events, projects, unconferences, exhibitions 
online/physical or both, and related conferences. And like us, if you 
are passionately and critically engaged in investigating the constant 
shifts and reinventions of our ever fascinating and imaginative world - 
You will enjoy working with us.

We welcome contributions from all kinds of writers – and are always 
interested bi-lingual reviewers who are able to introduce/translate work 
created by artists in non-English-speaking regions. We also interested 
in reviewers who are writing about ‘media art and ecology’ and the 
contemporary ideas coming out of this emergent genre.

If you are interested in becoming a reviewer at Furtherfield and wish to
