i think rules like "art and community don't mix" make life boring trebor! :-)

ok, first i'll start by saying, yeah, community's a hypy word, but, i think it's a common trap to waylay discussions by fretting over how the nomenclature isn't up to snuff. almost no nomenclature does its referrent justice, but we get the idea, so lets go with it and get more into the discussion.

anyway, artists making communities: yeah, often it doesn't work, or the projects are too hypy or whatever. but maybe that looks at projects that define community in a particular way (which you don't find interesting.) some community media art projects i've found interesting:

Refresh

Deskswap
(if you haven't had a chance to play with it, it's strangely addictive, and obviously forms 'community' in an unexpected way)

The old mailing list "everyone can be Keiko Suzuki" projects

The recent Mob Project

and also some others including some in progress, using both online and offline contexts....
