- Mute Magazine
"Mute" magazine, founded in the UK in
1994 by artistsSimon Worthington andPauline van Mourik Broekman , started as a platform for critical engagement with issues relating to new media and art. Originally published bi-monthly, "Mute" was until recently released twice-yearly in book format. It is now experimenting with a publishing model incorporating Print On Demand (POD) technologies and 'cluster' issues published more frequently in a smaller format. Through all its appearances, "Mute" has remained a valuable contributor to the UK new media arts scene, as well as being committed to investigation and reflection on social movements, geopolitical developments, information politics and contemporary theory.In
2001 , "Mute" generated off-shoot projects "OpenMute" and "YouAreHere" as ways of developing free knowledge and open systems, as well as to support networking initiatives in theEast End of London ::OpenMute is a website service and hosting package geared to independent media, artists and community groups. An example of such a group supported by "Mute" is the
rampART creative centre which has a website hosted by OpenMute and obtains its internet connection via "YouAreHere"."Mute" has had many contributors such as
Peter Suchin ,Marina Vishmidt ,John Hutnik ,Emma Hedditch ,Heath Bunting ,Matthew Hyland ,YProductions ,Hari Kunzru ,Anthony Davies &Simon Ford ,David Panos ,Stewart Home ,Kate Rich andSaul Albert ."Mute" is based in
