Sorry for any cross posting...

"I’m extremely happy that our p2p theoretical work has inspired actual 
art curators and artists such as Marc Garrett and Ruth Catlow of 
Furtherfield. In this essay, they describe their projects in the context 
of p2p developments and theorizing. In our second installment we will 
present the actual art projects." Michel Bauwans.

No Art Ecology without “P2P” Social Ecology.

By Marc Garrett, Ruth Catlow:

Many contemporary artists who take the networks of the digital 
information age as their medium, work directly with the hardware, 
algorithms and databases of digital networks themselves and the systems 
of power that engage them. Inspired by network metaphors and processes, 
they also craft new forms of intervention, collaboration, participation 
and interaction (between human and other living beings, systems and 
machines) in the development of the meaning and aesthetics of their 
work. This develops in them a sensitivity or alertness to the diverse, 
world-forming properties of the art-tech imaginary: material, social and 
political. By sharing their processes and tools with artists, and 
audiences alike they hack and reclaim the contexts in which culture is 
created.
