The real nature of collaborative tradition as a sort of artistic expression within the context of electronic and community applied sciences has remained elusive, a buzzword usually falling prey to company and ideological pursuits. This ebook used to be collaboratively written through six authors, as an experimental 5 day booklet dash in January 2010. constructed below the aegis of transmediale.10, this 3rd booklet within the festival's parcours sequence ended in the initiation of a brand new vocabulary at the types, media and objectives of collaborative perform. In June 2010, the booklet was once rewritten as part of the Re:Group exhibition at Eyebeam, long island. This moment version invited 3 new authors to problem the unfastened tradition sentiment underlying the unique writing. the result's a intentionally multi-voiced tone puzzling over the benefits and shortcomings of this new rising ideology.
