Short description: Lines of Flight addresses the following themes:  
the lines between technological, scientific and artistic practices  
from differing cultural perspectives; the negotiated status of the  
(networked) artist as an agent interacting and transacting in a  
global context; the flight from the self in collective creativity;  
spatial mediation suggested by open, interactive, and real time  
systems; mediation between inclusions and exclusions, insiders and  
outsiders; and processes of taking flight from the gravity of digital  
capitalism, digital privilege, and stratification.
