(was White Cube, Blue Sky)

Mute's compendium of net culture debate is lying low as it seeks a publisher. Having started as an attempt to link the information oriented - and politically inflected - debates of conceptual art with those surrounding the digital culture of the 90s, 'White Cube, Blue Sky: Art Cultures in the Information Age' has shapeshifted into the more modest format of an anthology. By collating historical material from our archive, it aims to give a flavour of milestone debates, shared obsessions and select artistic projects, rather than a comprehensive overview of new media art or culture. The book also contains new commissions, which either contextualise or supplement existing content. Editors: Josephine Berry Slater, Pauline van Mourik Broekman, Michael Corris, Simon Ford. White Cube, Blue Sky has received funding from the Arts Council of England and the British Academy.

Mutella started out as a stab at the e-letter format, collating book, exhibition and conference announcements with small reviews, snack-size analysis and gossip (sort of). The format was pliable enough to include most things (once acting as the platform for Mute's literary competition winners for example, another for Mute authors' responses to 9/11). In the end, it was too resource hungry and, despite its popularity, production slowly petered out. We now use its subscriber base for Mute Webexclusive announcements and other straight Mute News.

Special insert published in collaboration with Hull Time Based Arts (whose ROOT festival information was printed on the back) on the theme of surveillance and information politics. The Metamap was inspired by Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion, which Mute received permission to fully transcribe to a digital vector based format. Mute used the map to situate and advertise a constellation of surveillance related phenomena, including actual technologies as well as the many activist and technical projects initiated to resist them. With large swathes of the map remaining unmarked, it also illustrated the inevitable orientation of much info-paranoia to the global North... Completed, literally, on September 11th, it was felt much of its data became defunct at that point; producing the Metamap therefore also prompted the desire to be involved in a more dynamic, dialogic and 'self-reflexive' cartography.

A collaborative sound project between Mute and artist Kate Rich, inspired by our experiences making a radio programme together for Documenta-X's Hybrid WorkSpace. Kate saw all the office conversations, ambient sounds and 'surplus' interview material that get excised in the production of a print magazine as fertile material. Four compilations were released online over the duration of the project and a final collection was released as a CD together with Mute #21.

A special insert stitched into Mute and published as a separate run of several thousand on the occasion of ISEA98 'Revolution'. This 'net.politics' magazinette included among other things a Q&A on net politics with sundry luminaries, Ravi Sundaram on nineteenth century Technocultures and an interview with Tony Benn.
