>Mark Tribe will present a selection of projects, such as the Port
>Huron Project, that explore how tactical practices and public

>addresses zones of emergency in a broad sense, raising issues related
>to the psychological condition of being politically oppressed. Mark
>Tribe will bring his view of participatory networks online and off
>and the potentials of these techno-cultural arrangements to produce

>Ars Electronica Festival in Linz, and Gigantic Art Space in New York
>City. He has organized curatorial projects for the New Museum of
>Contemporary Art, MASS MoCA, and inSite_05. As the founder of
>Rhizome.org (in 1996), an online resource for new media artists, he
>now chairs the Rhizome.org board of directors. Tribe received his MFA
>in Visual Art from the University of California, San Diego in 1994
>and a BA in Visual Art from Brown University in 1990, where he
>currently serves as Assistant Professor of Modern Culture and Media
