Hi Joseph,
was not online, but no time today to write a reply.
but ok, I'm here now ;-), you can edit the page and make some corrections or improve the presentation I began.
As I told you, this editing was a draft ready for a further exploration and writing. Most of things come out from copy/paste of various texts, messages, archives, etc. I have compiled along the years.
I'm sure that we can develop a better text and presentation.
Are you all ok to participate to the wiki ?
My proposition is to write a series of texts, based on interviews, archives' probing, etc. which can offer various aspects of TT : documentation, studies, essays, notes, reports, etc.
A large part could concern graphic (and sound) documentation (photos, videos, etc.).
Thus we can cross information (from different sources and references) and validate the outputs.
And the better, I think, it's to do it together...
sounds good ?
Joseph, to go swiftly, what are the parts you don't include within the Wikipedia presentation ?
I answer to your question below.
BTW I'm interested to translate it for the French Wikipedia.
I know that one French editor (maybe in collaboration with another French one) could be interested in publishing a French book about TT history. Maybe the better idea is to do our collective work about editing (on the wiki for instance), and the final output could be published (in English, German and French, and .... according to the editors who are ready).
And thanks Caspar,
I guess I've got other archives on my hds, but the recollection requires more time and to take a period of work to achieve or to approach a reliable publication (weeks). And I guess it will be more simple when the whole TT archive (servers) will be online to recover information and documentation. As I said, our editing work, such as studies, essays and reports, will concern the enlightment of art aspects of the TT projects...
If you are interested in, here are some documentation (archives) concerning homestudio.thing.net and jukebox.thing.net
the current informations about these projects, and other ones (lascaux2.info for instance, or forum hub which was on TT) are accessible from the frontpage. (Reminder : this website jeromejoy.org is currently under construction : I'm currently gathering all my archives)....
best and warmly
jerome

OK. I take it Jerome is offline. So I did an edit on what he had below. Check it out everyone before I paste it into http://en.wikipedia.org (or stop me if you hate this idea).
I will need a sub-description (it will be hidden for the most part) to seperate The Thing out from the film and everything else Thingy. Is this OK? (Net Art Project)
So please quickly read this and make any cuts or changes. Of course I or anyone can change the page after I create it - but the scrutiny will be very strict. Not that it won't be right away.
BTW, what are the page #'s on TT in the Dieter Daniels, Gunther Reisinger (Eds.) “Net Pioneers 1.0: Contextualizing Early Net-Based Art”, Sternberg. 2010?
cheers
