RICH WHITE uses various themes and ideas to explore the meaning and value of art
including art history, context, perception, time-travel, decontextualisation and
censorship. For the Furtherstudio residency Rich is creating a project with two
parallel bodies of work under the headings 'create' and 'remove'.
In 'Create' Rich is exploring the theoretical, conceptual and practical possibilities
of creating an 'original' net/software artwork - that is, a work that remains unique in
a digital environment. 'Remove' concerns censoring art available on the net. The result
will form a comprehensive archive of censored artworks. One half creates - art is made
by addition. One half removes - art is made by subtraction.

FurtherStudio is an exploratory, year long project, set up to create online, real-time,
net art residencies during which time the artists need not leave their studio or home
environments, as the FurtherStudio web facility offers a public window on the artist's
PC desktop as they work.
The curatorial theme of 'appropriation and ownership of ideas, services, products and
images' is explored with the artist through a programme of open studio events and
discussions between artists, net art critics and anyone interested in exploring
creativity on the Internet. More about FurtherStudio at
