To all interested, Shu Lea Cheang, self styled digital normadic artist, engages in interface building in social/mobile/wireless networks. will be presenting St(r)eaming the Fields, a field harvesting and public network project in New York City this September. With an " After the Crash" scenario , the fields project borrows the alternative market model of Argentina's "El club del Trueque" (Club of Exchange) in designating organic garlic (harvested in Andes, New York this summer) as 'credito', the social currency for a global shared network in common exchange. Inspired by the global-wise local development in autonomous wireless networks, we hope to work with existing and expanding NYC wireless nodes in New York City to create urban farm stands for online garlic credito trading.
The project's online garlic credito trading will launch on September 1. The street trading at wireless nodes are scheduled for September 27, 28, 29. http://www.rich-air.com we are looking for a wireless network specialist to assist us technically on confirming (or devising) wireless nodes. We hope to be able to do real media streaming from the selected locations. http://www.rich-air.com/locations/index.html (this site routes our desired wireless nodes for parking garlic truck) The project is funded by Lyn Blumenthal Memorial fund for Independent Media ( Lyn is co-founder of Video Data Bank based out of Chicago Art Institute). It is a not-for-profit project, our fund is limited. We can offer $500 (+ a bunch of garlic) for wireless technical assistance on this project. please write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you are interested. thanks sl -- NYCwireless - http://www.nycwireless.net/ Un/Subscribe: http://lists.nycwireless.net/mailman/listinfo/nycwireless/ Archives: http://lists.nycwireless.net/pipermail/nycwireless/
