!THE THING network THE THING was the next project with a conceptually oriented art background to appear in the new communication, distribution and production space offered by the data networks. Initiated by the German-American artist Wolfgang Staehle, THE THING was launched as a mailbox system accessible over the telephone network in New York in 1991. A second node, THE THING Cologne, was added in 1992, followed by THE THING Vienna in November of the next year. Nodes in Berlin and elsewhere were soon to follow. The most (inter)active, and therefore most important, area of THE THING consisted of various message boards offering forums for art theory debate, news and gossip, ongoing dialogue and an open-access flow of information, as well as several online versions of art journals. Alongside discussion forums, THE THING offered artworks in the form of graphics downloadable to the home PC for example by Peter Halley. Staehle saw the theoretical roots of THE THING explicitly in the 1960s with Joseph Beuys. Since taking to the World Wide Web with a new user interface in 1995, THE THING has continued to function as a production and presentation platform for art and art-related discourse.
