A chapter in a book concerning participatory contemporary art, which reflects the strategy of including new media art in general art discourse. The chapter offers examples of new media art and theory, which are necessarily specific about who is participating in what, using network models.

The book has proved popular, and has been produced in paperback. The book has been reviewed internationally, and the chapter has been particularly praised for accuracy in defining levels of participation.
