INVITATION TO JOIN THE CREATIVE DISTURBANCE NETWORK

Creative Disturbance (www.creativedisturbance.com) is an online, project-
based network for artists and innovators seeking funding and other
resources. The aim of the network is to support the work of artists and
innovators at a grassroots level, using extensive databases to match
innovative projects with the support services they require.

Artists and innovators upload projects into the database, categorize
them, and select the audience they wish to reach: collaborators,
investors, and/or resource providers. Members of the network will then
have access not only to peers' projects, sources of funding and
resources, but also to research and articles matched to individual
interest areas and delivered to the member's personal page for viewing.
Members will also receive Creative Disturbance's exclusive newsletter,
EMERGEncy.

Working directly with the Leonardo and International Society for the
Arts and Sciences (ISAST) communities among others, the Creative
Disturbance network facilitates collaboration and intelligence sharing
among professionals with complementary skills. Some of our current
members include Lynn Hershman, Joel Slayton, Michael Naimark, Bruce
Sterling, Sara Diamond and Roger Malina. All our members are empowered
to create projects with high social and economic value that will
dramatically extend and diversify how technology itself is employed.

You and an elite group of your peers in the art/science/technology world
are invited to become a member and add your projects to the Creative
Disturbance database. To do this, go to our site at
http://www.creativedisturbance.com and follow the instructions under the
heading "signup".
