MAZine

Mazine was a collaborative project of all the students in the MA course at Ravensbourne College in 2004-2005. The purpose was to let us experience online publishing and build an online platform for new media.
After we graduated, I carry on contributing as the technical supporter. This month (May 2008) Mazine will have a reorganisation and upgrade - we are looking for the right direction to push this online platform forward.

Mazine.ws is an online portal for new media. We are reporting about areas as diverse as ecology, intellectual property, digital satire, mobile media, net art, hacktivism, the visualisation of data, emergence and epistemology, node nurturing and responsive environments.

We wish to promote fluid, crossmo-cultural and cross-specialist exchange among those with varied expertise and ambitions, reflecting diverse interests, backgrounds and cultures. We therefore encourage the participation of anyone who is interested in identifying and making the most of opportunities offered by new media and networked communities.

The technical and aesthetic aspects of Mazine.ws will be experimental and challenging but above all will evolve to fulfill and reflect contributors interests, explorations and research. We explore contemporary issues, trends and discussions in the area of networked media from technical, artistic, social and political perspectives.
