What it does
Ongoing: If this is your only card here, +4 Power to this card.
Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 2 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Creators cards are strongest on their own, and some only get going late.
The site, in 2006
A group blog billed as an Internet Surfing Club, where artists posted found pictures, retro graphics, sound files and video from around the web.
John Michael Boling, Joel Holmberg, Guthrie Lonergan and Marisa Olson started it in 2006 as a place for net artists to document and remix their time online. Rhizome later featured it in an exhibition about surfing.
In 2006: Started this year by four artists; it later had about ten members.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Net Art: Websites that are artworks, by people who saw the browser as a canvas.
