Artist Statement The main goal of this collaborative project is to realize the ideal of the communication and media on the internet, which is developed not on the technology currently in use, as a subject to the revolution of our sense, and to operate the experimental project for realization of those potential ideas. Considering that the beauty formally has been produced by art is the history of each time's detection and is abstraction in terms of changing sense, and that the times now attaches too much importance on a technology, we need searching for the beauty not to re-produce the formal beauty by means of a technology but to point out an ideal method of relation between man and thing, man and man stated by a technology. Who is supporting and what kind of will and what kind of purpose are keeping the internet? These are the subject for us today to search. We consider the internet is an great experimental space for that. The technology is not the subject. The Net has to be the new relational network that connect us one another. For this ideas, we start an experimentation to draw more people conscious to use it effectively. |
