This assumption is quite far from reality and we will be rethinking (hopefully with you) our communication channels this year. As a first step, we proudly connected to the <a href="http://tldr.nettime.org/">tldr.nettime.org</a> Hometown/Mastodon instance (@screensavergallery).</div><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">We still believe in the concept of the ScreenSaverGallery as an artist-run off-space and <a href="http://metazoa.org/">metazoa.org</a> as an artist-run server providing the necessary technical infrastructure.</div><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">At ScreenSaverGallery we have done a lot of work in the last year. From upgrading the Mac OS and Windows applications, creating a Linux version of ScreenSaverGallery, open-sourcing everything, updating our web design, to realising the year-round exhibition project "Blind Visions". At <a href="http://metazoa.org/">metazoa.org</a> we have been optimising the server for lower costs and higher performance. As individual artists we are struggling to fund our projects, so we have set up a non-profit organisation <IRL> to make an umbrella of our online and offline art activities. If you would like to support them, you can now easily donate on the opencollective platform.</div><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">We know that our applications are sometimes "buggy" and we know that our "users" can have problems with them. We are happy to see open issues on our GitHub repos! We will also be happy to get some feedback on our exhibition programme here and there.</div><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">For this coming year, the 40th anniversary of A Cyborg Manifesto, we are working on an exhibition programme to rethink and support "cyber" feminist approaches to the networks and online culture.
