for the first time neture as a title and a proposal for a project popped up in the summer 2003, initiated by johannes sienknecht and jan h. brueggemeier:

" ... neture wants to focus on the impulses and possible conceptual or aesthetic transfers of the mediafied spheres and physical spaces with a similiar structure, and to document such processes. Where can one find the unused capacities in mediafied and physical spaces that allow neture to grow exuberantly and freely? ...
The focus and crux of the subject matter of "neture" are spaces with communication-potentials, which are forgotten or no longer used, and spaces where less relevant conventional references exist (or are in the process of vanishing) between the place itself and its culture and history. "neture" uses this void, grows within it and creates dynamic presence in it with methods of art, communication and documentation. "neture" uses free space, communicates out of necessity, cooperates out of love, creates from passion, manifests from coincidence. ..."

since then it kept working on our minds and led to and still leads to a number of spin-offs:
*Eg. n E t u r e was jan's diploma-project (chair for experimental radio @ bauhaus-university weimar, 2004) and meant the first elaborated manifestation of the subject.
