NETWORK at ENTER April 2007

NETWORK - a visually exciting artwork to magically animate the ENTER festival structures on Parkers Piece in Cambridge during the night, by listening in to the wireless information that surrounds us but is rarely acknowledged. It will use thousands of ultrabright LED's and custom electronics to cover the outer skin of the centre dome and will be visible from dusk and all through the night. As well as the NETWORK responding to the wireless cloud that is all around us, you will be able to text to any of the four mobile phone numbers that will directly affect the 6000-plus LEDs and 3000 individual wireless detectors which form the NETWORK.

FREE LED SCULPTURE WORKSHOPS
2pm to 4pm Thursday Friday and Saturday. (26, 27, 28th April)

These will be led by Mark Dixon with Katie Tutt (Kat) and Cecilia Sandrini

Workshops will be accessible to ALL ages - they will be a very friendly hands-on event. . Experience with a soldering iron would be useful but not essential and simple clip together versions will be available for children. Under 16's must be accompanied by an adult.

We will be getting people to contribute to the NETWORK covering the main dome which will be viewable in the evening and on-line here. On Sunday 29th between 12 and 2pm we will be breaking down the network for distribution around the city - people can come back and help re-distribute the 3000 units from the display

CONFERENCE 25-27 APRIL 2007
FESTIVAL 25-29 APRIL 2007

Art and new technology practice challenges the borders between creative
disciplines, contemporary culture and commerce, questioning the relationship
between producer and consumer. As these boundaries are dissolved and
reformed, new kinds of spaces are emerging in which creativity and
experience can exist. Enter_Unknown Territories provides an opportunity to
explore these new spaces and investigate their potential for collaboration
between artists, businesses and academics.
