Participatory Public Art and New Media

NODE.L AUDIENCES
One of the
main aims of NODE.L was to "network an open and distributed
practice" .
This was achieved by reaching several audiences.
1) Existing new Media Practitioners
2) Mainstream Art Audiences
3) Targeted Community Groups
1) Existing new media practitioners
appeared to the primary audiences that were reached through NODE.L. This
could be seen through projects held at venues such as Space Studios,
Watermans, HTTP and Event. Importantly this acted to strengthen and
consolidate a potentially disparate community of practitioners. It
directly assisted in increasing the momentum of new media practice in
London and its identification as a valuable practice not only to itself,
but also to mainstream art audiences. These beneficiaries should remain
a priority, however it should be recognised that reaching these
audiences does not result in achieving funding for future developments.
2) Mainstream Art Audiences appeared to be a secondary concern for NODE.L, however in the same breath they were not ostracised from the agenda. This appeared to be most successfully achieved through Educational partnerships in Higher Education and public Institutions. This could be seen through projects realised in partnership with venues such as Chelsea School of Art and Tate Britain; Ravensbourne School of Art and the Dana Centre. This demonstrates how However it was criticised ass impenetrable

3) Targeted Community
Groups were a
priority audience for some individual projects realised in partnership
with NODE.L and other organisations. These audiences were reached by a
small percentage of projects that were organised by independent curators
in partnership with Local Authorities, Voluntary Sector Organisations,
Non Govermental Organisation. This is a potential area of growth away
from reliance on art funding.
RECREATING NODE.L(inz)
As a Voluntary Organiser for
NODE.L(ondon) 2006 I will be holding a workshop focusing on tools that
will help groups in Linz to create a NODE.L(inz). To do this I will
focus on a Tool Kit. This will consist of printed handouts explaining
methods used to adopt open structures for self-organisation and
participation that were by NODE.L in 2005 / 2006. I will then assist in
the practical application of this Tool Kit by discussing the audiences
reached by NODE.L and how to reach similar ones in Linz. So please do
attend the workshop 21.09.06 atÉÉ
