We invite you to THE NOWHERE DANCE
A performance at Alan Sondheim's Second Life exhibition "The Accidental 
Artist"

Alan Sondheim: "We'll teleport people into an installation which has 
been constructed over a period of eight months. It represents nothing of 
architecture, fantasy, or surrealism; it's a space unlike anything in 
the real world. It's difficult to move through, a field of alien 
processes which has a life of its own. Sandy Baldwin and I will dance 
through and around it - on the ground, in the air, and on the ocean 
floor. Part of the dance will be based on learning to move around; part 
will be based on adding to the clutter."

on the project b e a m - m e - up:
Our understanding of space is changing for generations. In the digital 
age we use terms like Cyberspace, Globalization and World Wide Web, even 
though we have hardly understood the old electro-spaces like power 
supply systems, telephone and broadcasting. By means of audio-visual 
transportation we conquer new spaces, which present themselves as both 
picture space and space of action, place of signs and of real presences.
With the online project beam me up we invite artists and authors from 
different countries to concern themselves with space concepts in the 
form of art contributions and essays.
