Nettime

Nettime-l is a mailing list started in 1995 as a closed moderated mailinglist for net criticism, collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets. Founded by Geert Lovink and Pit Schultz, it covers media, arts and technology. Nettime.org points to mailing lists that do net culture. Several ZKP zines/readers were published as the edited compilations of nettime material.

The formation of the nettime group goes back to spring 1995. A first meeting called was organized in June 1995, at the Venice Bienale, as a part of the Club Berlin event. The list itself took off in the fall. A first compilation on paper appeared in January 1996, at the second Next 5 Minutes events (the so-called ZKP series). The list organized its own conference in Ljubljana in May 1997, called Beauty and the East. A 556 pages nettime anthology came out in 1999: Readme! Ascii Culture and the Revenge of Knowledge. Autonomedia: New York (ISBN: 1570270899).
