2002
The theory of networks and networking has provided radical new insights
into the underlying processes of nature, economy, and society. The Web
of Life project was conceived as a multi-disciplinary
project that conjoins art and science to give form and expression
to this important new realm of understanding. The project consists
of three components: a book titled The New Web of Life:
the Art of Networked Living, a large scale distributed
interactive artwork, and a web site
Formulated by the writer Michael Gleich and artist Jeffrey Shaw
in 2002/03, the project was sponsored by the Aventis Foundation
and was created and produced at the ZKM Center for Art and Media
in Karlsruhe by a prominent team of artists, designers, architects,
scientists, and technicians.
The distributed nature of the artwork allows it to
manifest in numerous interconnected locations worldwide, while the
book and Web site the project to an even greater
public audience.
Web of Life will be installed at both the
Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) from Saturday
3rd April to Sunday 16th May 2004 and in Brisbane at the Queensland
University of Technology (QUT) from Wednesday 7th April to Sunday
16th May 2004.
