A new issue of Vague Terrain has launched and I'm quite excited to help spread the word about this provocative body of work. Vague Terrain 11: Curediting-Translational Online Work is a CONT3XT.NET organized survey of contemporary thinking about new media art, online curation and broader web culture.

The issue includes work from: Joasia Krysa, Laboratorio 060 (Lourdes Morales, Javier Toscano, Daniela Wolf), Annette Finnsdottir, Eva Moraga, CRUMB (Beryl Graham and Verina Gfader), Ela Kagel & Ursula Endlicher, Michelle Kasprzak, Furtherfield (Marc Garrett, Ruth Catlow), Geoff Cox, Jodi.org (Joan Heemskerk, Dirk Paesmans) and Domenico Quaranta. Neil Wiernik and I also contributed a text on our experience in developing Vague Terrain as a publishing/distribution platform over the last three years.

I'm extremely impressed with the work that CONT3XT.NET (Sabine Hochrieser, Michael Kargl & Franz Thalmair) have assembled and it was a pleasure to work with Franz in consolidating this material over the last few weeks. Please take some time to examine Vague Terrain 11: Curediting-Translational Online Work.
