<br>
<br>The Synopsis :
<br>
<br>Increasingly we live in a world which is marked by boundaries and
difference. Our actions are categorised and labeled for reference, sign
posting and evaluation. The Network breathes and crackles between these
spaces, it makes the virtual tangible.
<br>
<br>The Network overcomes these boundaries by supporting difference,
tolerance and equity between individuals, machines and their actions.
The Network is a production tool for artisans, a calibrating tool for
media communicators and an ecological template for our continued
survival and reinvention. It is as much a social mechanism as it is a
cultural barometer for these plugged in data intensive times.
<br>
<br>The Artist Call :
