Cooperative
authorship.
 Networks create the possibility of constantly contributing
to a piece of work in a cooperative way. The most widely known example is the newsgroup, enabling the participants to keep a self-structuring discussion going. Another example is Firefly, a system where the participants test their judgements about different kinds of music on each other. Through their mutual transparency new media can give rise to an enormous variety of forms of cooperation. Not only within a presentation or a network, but also in physical, social situations. The draft and the coupling of forms of participation and cooperation are the newappearance of editorship in new media. Are there also new kinds of publicity and critique emerging? Can a system working with text, images and sound generate a process which can be experienced by outsiders as a coherent work?
