Talking Together - Jess Loseby & Tara Noid - Net Police
____________________________________________________________________________________

Does anybody ever challenge you on this point, on rhizome for instance - on the point on having a need for privacy?

In what way?

rhizome is a discussion group and it seems to me that collaboration is one of the overstated paradigms in net-art, it has almost become an ideology; so I wondered if you get challenged by the "net police"

I could be if I was not so determined to have things my own way. I have an agenda, that's the wrong word, cause I don't have an agenda but I have things I want to say. When the opportunity comes along it excites me but I am not gonna do something because its expected of me - in the same way that I don't want to learn html because 99 people on the rhizome list tell me what net art is about. I am not gonna do that, I am not gonna stop using flash, because they say its corporate mainstream bullshit. Because flash works for me I don't know whether that's arrogance or - righteous, but...I am very into learning from people and giving back to people, but I am not going to take on board what I should do .... - sounds arrogant, but anyway.
