Rhizome is a not-for-profit arts organization, that supports and provides a platform for new media art. ==History== Artist and curator Mark Tribe founded Rhizome as a small email list in 1996 while living in Berlin.〔("Digital Artworks that Play Against Expectations" ), New York Times, September 30, 2002.〕 The list included a number of people Tribe had met at Ars Electronica 〔("Interview with Mark Tribe, Founder, Rhizome" ), Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College, April 29, 2010.〕 By August, Rhizome had launched its website, which by 1998 had developed a significant readership within the Internet art community.〔("Art Site Takes Plunge Into Not-for-Profitability" )〕 Originally designated a business, Rhizome became a nonprofit organization in 1998, switching to the domain-name suffix ".org.".〔 In an interview with Laurel Ptak for the Bard Center for Curatorial Studies and Art in Contemporary Culture Archive, Tribe explains "I thought of it as Artforum meets AltaVista (AltaVista was one of the first web search engines), as a kind of bottom-up alternative to the top-down hierarchies of the art world."〔 Rhizome established an online archive called the (ArtBase ) in 1999.〔(Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) )〕 The ArtBase was initially conceived exclusively as a database of net art works. Today, the scope of the ArtBase has expanded to include other forms of art engaged with technology, including games, software, and interdisciplinary projects with online elements. The works are submitted by the artists themselves.〔(Preserving the Rhizome Artbase )〕 In addition to hosting archived work, Rhizome's digital preservation work includes conservation of digital art and updating obsolete code.〔(Digital Preservation Practices and the Rhizome ArtBase )〕 In 2003, Rhizome became affiliated with the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York.〔"New Museum Joins Forces with Artists' Web Site," ''New York Times'', 〕 Today, Rhizome's programs include (events ), (exhibitions ) at the New Museum and elsewhere, an active website, and an archive of more than 2,000 new media artworks. The organization has published one book with Link Editions, ("The Best of Rhizome 2012" ) edited by former editor Joanne McNeil. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rhizome (organization)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
