The spring collection is a benefit event for THE THING, Inc.

THE THING was founded in 1991 and became a not-for-profit corporation
in 1998. Prior to that date it was supported entirely by the dedication
and enthusiasm of a community of volunteer activists and artists.
Even with these limited resources THE THING quickly gained a reputation
as a center for new media practice and theory, social forums and on-line
art projects. Over the last two decades, THE THING has played a seminal
role not just in fostering a generation of network-oriented activist,
artists, critics, and curators, but also - and equally important -
searching out ways to interconnect their diverse interests and
activities.

In recent years activities mainly focused on archiving THE THING's
history and restore the original bbs web site .
This was done in collaboration with the Ludwig Boltzmann Institue,
Austria, which ended with the publication of "Net Pioneers 1.0,
Contextualizing Early Net-Based Art."

In the fall of 2009, THE THING rebooted its program activities
with a lecture and film and video screening series.
