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.

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.

Four page newspaper produced in association with New Contemporaries - on the theme of art / education. The publication contains: Geert Lovink's ICC Lecture 'From Speculative Media Theory to Net Critic
