We reinvigorate the NICE mailing list! NICE is a list for communication and
information exchange on (post-)media art, network culture and
trans-discplinary research in Baltic-Nordic region. We encourage you to
post your announcements on NICE list by sending an email message to:
nice at 2012.x-i.net

Please feel free to forward this message to artists, cultural operators,
academic researchers, and others who might be interested to join the list
for contributing and/or receiving NICE postings.

* About NICE

NICE stands for Network Interface for Cultural Exchange. It was founded in
1999, during TEMP event held in Kiasma organised by Geert Lovink, as a
network and mailing list for fostering communication and information
exchange about new media culture events, activities and projects taking
place in the region of Baltic and Nordic countries.

In 2012 we reinvigorate NICE as an announcement list for (post-)media art,
network culture and trans-disciplinary research in the Baltic-Nordic and
North-East European region, including NW-Russia.

NICE mailing list is maintained by Riga based RIXC center. It runs on
x-i.net server (administrated by Jaanis Garancs jg at 2012.x-i.net). The
x-i.net server has now moved to Liepaja, where it will be hosted by Art
Research Lab (MPLab.lv) / Liepaja University.

* Why mailing list?

An electronic mailing list is an e-mail based discussion group, which
(unlike newsletters, which are one-directional distribution lists) allows
its subscribers to freely post their messages (with announcements). Mailing
lists have been important tools for maintaining collaborative networks and
their communities since the early stage of new media culture in the 1990s.
Regardless of the popularity of social networking sites, mailing lists are
today still productive environments, due their simple and open way for
exchanging information and arguments.
