Last week I told you why Fractured Atlas is opposing SOPA and PIPA, a pair of bills in Congress that claim to protect the rights of artists but would be both ineffective at that goal and damaging to the technical fabric of the internet. We were the first major arts organization to take this stand, [...]

A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of representing Fractured Atlas at the Grantmakers in the Arts Conference, an annual gathering of funders that is otherwise closed to non-grantmakers. This year’s conference was in San Francisco and San Jose, and below is a summary of some of the more stimulating sessions [...]

At Fractured Atlas, we’re in the process of rolling out a few new technology products that have been in the pipeline for the past year or so. One of these is Artful.ly, which is the hosted version of the ATHENA [...]

Today (admittedly a few months later than originally planned), I am very happy to announce the first official release of the ATHENA software platform. As planned, it’s [...]
I recently moved into a new apartment where I have both upstairs neighbors and radiator heat for the first time in years. As you might guess, this special combination leads to a number of consternation-inducing noises from time to time.
A few nights ago I was in bed alternating between reading “The Failure of Risk Management” [...]

Made up of representatives from six arts organizations, the ATHENA Tix Design Steering Group poured over copious notes taken from our Community Design Sessions and evaluated what made sense to include in version 1.0 of our software.
For those who missed it, our Issue Brunch on Data Sharing was detailed, provocative, and a bit geeky.
