Mark Tribe will present a selection of projects, such as the Port
<br>
Huron Project, that explore how tactical practices and public <br>
interventions use the internet and other networks as a means to
<br>
instigate political discourse and public collaboration. This work
<br>
addresses zones of emergency in a broad sense, raising issues
related <br>
to the psychological condition of being politically oppressed. Mark
<br>
Tribe will bring his view of participatory networks online and off
<br>
and the potentials of these techno-cultural arrangements to produce
<br>
social and political change.<br><br>
Mark Tribe is an internationally renowned artist and curator whose
<br>
interests include art, technology, and politics. He is the
co-author, <br>
with Reena Jana, of "New Media Art" (Taschen, 2006). His art
work has <br>
been exhibited at the ZKM Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe,
the <br>
Ars Electronica Festival in Linz, and Gigantic Art Space in New
York <br>
City. He has organized curatorial projects for the New Museum of
<br>
Contemporary Art, MASS MoCA, and inSite_05. As the founder of <br>
Rhizome.org (in 1996), an online resource for new media artists, he
<br>
now chairs the Rhizome.org board of directors. Tribe received his
MFA <br>
in Visual Art from the University of California, San Diego in 1994
<br>
and a BA in Visual Art from Brown University in 1990, where he
<br>
currently serves as Assistant Professor of Modern Culture and Media
<br>
Studies. The focus of his teaching is on digital art, curating, open-
source culture, radical media, and surveillance. He splits his time
<br>
between Providence and New York City.<br><br>
