/* ======================= *
criticalartware
version.1.0.1
first public release
* ======================== */

/* ======================= *
INTRODUCING
* ======================== */

Introducing criticalartware, an application/platform for the 
discussion and development of contemporary code-based art 
theorypractices:

/* ======================= *
ARTWARE
* ======================== */

We are interested in "software" as a construct and context during the 
late 1960's/early 1970's and the recent present. We pair these two 
art historical moments to analyze the ways in which software 
functions as art and art functions as software. We are interested in 
early Video Art and it's relationship to current software-art or 
artware approaches.

/* ======================= *
V.1.0.1
* ======================== */

Version.1.0.1 of criticalartware intertwines interviews with Kate 
Horsfield of the Video Data Bank (www.vdb.org) and the founding 
members of Low-Fi (www.low-fi.org.uk). Building discourse between 
artists, activists and theorists, criticalartware will offer, 
intertwine and juxtapose interviews, experiences, tools, systems and 
documents from people who have been instrumental in these moments. In 
this manner, criticalartware will become a shared and open system of 
community resources.

/* ======================= *
INVITATION
* ======================== */

We invite artists, activists, developers, reverse engineers, 
theorists, programmers, contemporary historians, archivists, 
codeworkers and cultural agents of all kinds to join us. Share your 
perspectives and contribute to discussions and developments in these 
developing fields and histories. Responding to your input, our 
contributions and your responses, criticalartware will reshape and 
map those outcomes, providing a resource for dynamically determining 
contemporary histories and exploring current practices.
