Content is curatorially determined: images, texts, podcasts, livestream and sound archives provide documentation of discussions, works or new media. Contributors change during the course of the year depending on interests and time. n.e.w.s. structures these contributions in the form of a blog/archive (images and text), regular online forums on diverse subjects ranging from <a href="/asian-biennales-forum-opening-remarks-panelists-0">Asian Biennials</a>, an <a href="/broken-webs-imagining-internet-introverts-0">Internet for introverts</a> to the <a href="/cutting-slack-paradoxes-slackerdom-0">paradoxes of slackerdom</a>, on <a href="/errare-humanum-est-pursuit-error">error and errorism</a> and <a href="/paid-usership">remuneration for usership</a>. Building upon shared knowledge and past references, contributors engage with others&rsquo; practices. Multilingual translation, tagging and commentary contextualise the contributions and open up new possibilities; collaboration in the form of future projects such as our forthcoming publication and the <a href="/shadow-search-project-ssp-0">Shadow Search Project</a>.</p> <p><a href="http://news.absurd.services/about-news-0" target="_blank">read more</a></p> collaboration curatorial contributions decentralisation diversity immaterial resources multilingual n.e.w.s. open source Web 2.0 Tue, 27 May 2008 20:29:05 +0000 rr 2 at http://news.absurd.services
