Geert Lovink & Trebor Scholz (eds.), "The Art of Free Cooperation" What are the rules of collaboration in “free cooperation”? If you are anxiously awaiting an answer to this question, or debates linking web-based, cooperation-enhancing technologies to the broader world of political activism, check out this book. Put together as a response to what the editors identified as a "crisis in new-media art education," FC contains essays from media theorists and critics Howard Rheingold, Christoph Spehr, Brian Holmes and the editors. The book provides concrete tactics and techniques for voluntary associations, be they cultural, political, social, economic, and examines the dynamics (or, the methodologies and politics) that can emerge within such groups, and also comes with DVD packed with additional texts, highlights from an international "Free Cooperation" conference, and a feature-length film collage, narrated by Tony Conrad. Limited copies are available. 274 pp, $20 For more information or to buy the book, go to: http://autonomedia.org/node/41
