[p2p-research] book "Networking. The Net as Artwork" (review copies via author)

[Michel Bauwens]

Via Tatiana at t.bazzichelli at mclink.it:

if you are interested in having a copy of my book "Networking. The Net as
Artwork", the English version of the book is published by the Digital
Aesthetics Research Center of Aarhus University (http://darc.imv.au.dk).

The book describes the evolution of the Italian hacktivism and net culture
from the 1980s till today. It builds a reflection on the new role of the
artist and author who becomes a networker, operating in collective nets,
reconnecting to Neoavant-garde practices of the 1960s (first and foremost
Fluxus), but also Mail Art, Neoism and Luther Blissett.
A path which began in BBSes, alternative web platforms spread in
Italythrough the 1980s even before the Internet even existed, and then
moved on
to Hackmeetings, to Telestreet and networking art by different artists such
as 0100101110101101.ORG <http://0100101110101101.org/>, [epidemiC], Jaromil,
Giacomo Verde, Giovanotti Mondani Meccanici, Correnti Magnetiche, Candida
TV, Tommaso Tozzi, Federico Bucalossi, Massimo Contrasto, Mariano Equizzi,
Pigreca, Molleindustria, Guerriglia Marketing, Sexyshock, Phag Off and many
others.

Preface: Derrick de Kerckhove
Afterword: Simonetta Fadda
English Translation: Helen Pringle and Anna Maria Calamia

You can read more information here:

Following the "hacker spirit" it is possible to download the book from the
website, but I would really appreciate if you could order a copy for you or
your university/institution.
If you need more information to write a review about it, let me know!

Best regards,
Tatiana Bazzichelli
