Descripción de la Organización

History of Furtherfield In 1996 artists Ruth Catlow and Marc Garrett initiated an online platform for collaboration and experimentation, informed by community arts, pirate radio, activism and street art. Inspired by free and open software development they challenged notions of the individual genius artist. A grassroots network and programme emerged which continues to thrive and to engage diverse people with arts, technology and social change. Since its formation, Furtherfield has grown and built an international reputation, leading in the theory and practice of digital creativity. It has continued to invest time and energy in a decentralised and distributed network, fostering new projects with artists, seizing and challenging debates and always advocating for open and playful engagement with people encapsulated in its process of ‘doing it with others’ (DIWO). Furtherfield has been distinctive from other organisations in maintaining a presence across networked space and presenting work through its gallery. Its commitment to free and open source methodologies and internationalism has seen it working with artists at all career stages and bringing new, marginal and important messages to wider audiences. Team Furtherfield is led by co-founding co-directors Ruth Catlow and Marc Garrett alongside a core staff team with arts management, marketing, fundraising, finance and administrative expertise to support the smooth running of the organisation and its programmes. A growing number of Furtherfield Associates support the delivery of Furtherfield’s expanding programme including artists, producers, technicians, designers, writers and hosts. A placement scheme linked to academic studies provides internship opportunities for students at MA and PhD level which operates in partnership with universities. Advisory Board Furtherfield’s Advisory Board play an important role in contributing to strategic planning; strengthening governance and providing an excellent range of expertise across arts, education, equality and diversity, technology, health, PR, academia and business sectors.
