[spectre] new net art projects on Tate's website

[honor]

Dear Friends/Spectres,

This evening two new net art projects by Heath Bunting and Susan Collins 
are launching on Tate's website: <http://www.tate.org.uk/netart/>.

We're holding a small celebration this evening, and the site officially 
launches to the public tomorrow.

* Heath's project, 'BorderXings Guide' 
<http://www.tate.org.uk/netart/borderxingguide.htm>, primarily consists of 
documentation of walks that traverse national boundaries, without 
interruption from customs, immigration, or border police. The work comments 
on the way in which movement between borders is restricted by governments 
and associated bureaucracies.
The website is not available to everyone who has an internet connection. 
People wishing to view the website must physically travel to one of the 
listed designated locations, or apply to become an authorised client 
themselves. The project intends a reversal of the way that borders restrict 
movement and challenge the supposed liberties that accompany the concept of 
the Internet as a borderless space.

* Susan Collin's work, 'Tate in Space' 
<http://www.tate.org.uk/space/default.htm> tracks the developments of 
Tate's new museum in orbit, documenting the architectural processes 
involved in the construction of the museum, and the launch of the Tate 
Satellite. The site explores ways in which Tate in Space will extend 
visitor experience and engage new audiences. Tate in Space will act as an 
arena for debate and reflection on the nature of art in space, raising 
questions about cultural and institutional ambition and the very human 
desires to observe and communicate.

Texts written by Josephine Berry, Florian Schneider and Paul Bonaventure 
contextualise the pieces.

Please take a look.
We'd love to hear your comments and feedback.


Best wishes

Honor Harger
