nettime >>
As the nettimers themselves say in their info section,
nettime "is not just a mailing list but an effort to formulate
an international, networked discourse that neither promotes
a dominant euphoria (to sell products) nor continues the
cynical pessimism, spread by journalists and intellectuals
in the 'old' media who generalize about 'new' media with
no clear understanding of their communication aspects."
Sure, they have their fair share of heavily skewed propaganda,
but there's something to it, especially 1995-96 when it
meant something.

[from the site:]
"maybe someone of you read erik davis' last book, in which he names the
great antagonist of our times 'hermes,' the trickster, god of trade and
thieves, and god of communication. michel serres, also a kind of half-god
in the academic sense, made him the hero of his studies. this figure, may
be a data dandy, parasite and prankster, may be a guy formally called an
artist, but certainly out to make fun and profit of all of you who try to
get him, was probably the god of net.art too."
