5. WORKSHOPS-
It is important to us to share knowledge
and build up a culture of participation,
access, and empowerment rather than
of competition, intellectual property, and
proprietary information.

The American military network ARPAnet was conceived
as a way to maintain uninterrupted communications in the
event of nuclear war. Ancestor of the Internet and
foundation of the Global Information Infrastructure,
ARPAnet springs from exactly the same source as the
"push-button war" that lay behind it : the change of scale
provoked by the early 20th century discoveries in physics,
within an industrial society capable of organizing the
productivity - including the scientific productivity - of
thousands of agents.

Etorno: grass grows greener on the other side
April 28 - May 20, 2006
this exhibit of fibers informed media examines our lived experience of today's social, economic and political moment in history. While labor replacing technology has eliminated the necessity for hand work, we see a resurgence of interest in knitting, quilting and fiber based art and craft. What is at the heart of this? How do artists working in fiber media express their understanding of the relationship between fiber, it's history as women's work, as craft, yet also as product and commodity? Includes embroidery, quilt, applique, weaving, fabric construction, multi-media and other work addressing these issues of fiber.
