This is a poster I made for when E-Space Lab Project came to liverpool to build a virtual community of artists via Skype. We spent a long time setting things up but worked out in the end. As usual not many people from England turned up, and the technology broke down more than a few times. The communication is slow and irritating at times, but we are getting there and with a few more links we might form the basis for a collaboration between architecture students in Shanghai. Vids from the Bluecoat and ADA are bellow. The project is encouraging the use of Skype to make live interactions between groups of artists which break down eurocentric relationship to the east. They are focusing there research on the potential for live streaming video as an aspect of a performative art process. They are all about creating diverse networks of association witch are constituted by that association. Talking with Philip Courteney, the project leader, he thinks it could open up a space for some kind of 'post autonomous' practice. Something definitely to keep an eye on, Shanghai trip may be in order in the future.
