Founded in 1997 by artists Marc Garrett and Ruth Catlow, Furtherfield is "an online platform for the creation, promotion, criticism, and archiving of adventurous digital / net art work for public viewing, experience, and interaction." In particular, Furtherfield focuses on "network related projects that explore new social contexts that transcend the digital, or offer a subjective voice that communicates beyond the medium." From the homepage, visitors can browse through a list of artists whose work is featured on the site, along with reviewing the ongoing projects sponsored by Furtherfield. The links section is also of note, as it contains a thematically organized collection of links to some of the best creative and groundbreaking projects on the Internet. Rounding out the site is the press section, which contains news and magazine articles about both the success and controversies surrounding certain aspects of the Furtherfield site.
