"SwanQuake - the user manual'' is a collection of essays regarding a
major interactive virtual installation art project by Igloo (Ruth Gibson
& Bruno Martelli) and their collaborators. SwanQuake is, as its name

The Furtherfield blog is a place for Media Arts practitioners to
intuitively explore their practice together as it occurs, to develop
understanding and to learn, without the pressure to formulate complete
arguments or to come up with answers. The blog was set up in Autumn
2006, initially as a place for informal, day to day exchange between
members of the Furtherfield.org team, including editor/reviewers. We
discovered that this format suits some people more than others and
invited a couple more to join. The Furtherfield blog is not intended as
a platform to promote particular projects. Instead bloggers explore
their own perspectives on their own terms; personal thoughts, emotional
responses and critical intentions that are rarely publicly discussed
elsewhere in such detail.
Regular Furtherfield bloggers so far, are: - Camille Baker, Ruth Catlow,
Aileen Derieg, Marc Garrett, Mark Hancock, Patrick Lichty and Lauren A
Wright.
