Welcome to May 2019 on –empyre- soft-skinned-space
OPEN MONTH:  Who are our –empyre- subscribers?

As we enter into our seventeenth year our global community of artists, curators, theorists, producers, and others are currently 2,183 subscribers.  This group reflects artistic and curatorial pioneers in the field of new media art and new emerging artists and research scholars as well. While our online discussion topics encourage critical perspectives on contemporary cross-disciplinary issues, practices and events in networked media occasionally we open up our discussion template to invite you, our subscribers, to share current research, book projects, exhibitions, projects, and news from the institutions you are affiliated with.
  
What has been most fascinating for us is to consider the power of this online forum and how the rhizomatic flow between our subscribers’ research and projects directly imprint upon the ebb and flow of our global identity. That flow can be reviewed through our –empyre- archive since 2002.

PUT YOUR NAME IN THE SUBJECT HEADING.

Our –empyre- website is hosted by Cornell University. It is currently being redesigned which is very long overdue. This might be an appropriate time to let you all know that we are looking for those interested in hosting a month on –empyre-.  While this month is a more open format, the month of June is open right now. If you have an idea or concept you would like to organize a discussion around please send me an email back channel. 

Best. Renate Ferro
