We have some light weekend reading for you this weekend by way of the fine folks at Turbulence.
Networked: a (networked_book) about (networked_art) was just launched as an experimental platform for new media writing and publishing. The site features original essays by Kazys Varnelis, Anne Helmond, Jason Freeman, Anna Munster and Patrick Lichty and the intent is that a community will develop around the site and blur the distinction between authors, editors and readers. Informed by the "open publishing" momentum evident in projects such as McKenzie Wark's Gamer Theory and Noah Wardrip-Fruin's Expressive Processing and the now-familiar content management system and wiki paradigms, Networked proposes an ambitious, collaborative arena for discourse about new media.
