Since 1991 THE THING has provided an ongoing space for developing, supporting,
and presenting innovative media art and criticism.

   From sponsoring a prescient electronic edition by the noted artist Peter Halley
in 1993, the ranks of artists who were among the earliest to explore the
possibilities of electronic networks through THE THING include Beat Streuli,
Mariko Mori, Rainer Ganahl, Craig Kalpakjian and Daniel Pflumm. Similarly,
notable curators such as Benjamin Weil and Jordan Crandall undertook many of
their foundational projects in conjunction with THE THING.

THE THING has served as a workplace with access to production and network
facilities for visiting artists, cultural workers, and technicians; as a space
for ad hoc gatherings, events, and exhibitions; and as the publisher and
maintainer of a series of arts-oriented newsletters and publicly accessible
websites, most notably the

THE THING
BBS at http://bbs.thing.net.

Please contribute to this ongoing, innovative cultural project.
