localnonsculpture.net

Localnonscultpure.net is a location based net art exhibition and a site-specific installation. The project is about the realization of a media plastic, a network-based permanent installation in public space. A media plastic is a sculpture made out of pure information, its dimensions in space are defined by bits, bytes, longitude and latitude and refer to the possibility of getting access to it. Selected artists with high affinity to the net and the new media were invited to create a web-based work, which has the thematic focus of “public”/”privacy” and its dependence on spatial reference systems. The individual contributions are presented on separate webpages with content of their choice, which are accessible via a single URL. Due to a simple location check however, the website is only available on a specific position, which is the address of Athens Digital Arts Festival in Athens.
This #LocalNon is the third in a series of Local-non projects. The first Local-non was launched 2013 in Berlin and the second one was installed at Ebertplatz in Cologne.
