2. THE HARTWARE GUIDE TO IRATIONAL
Fresh from the printing press: the Hartware Guide
to the exhibition The Wonderful World of
irational.org. Tools, Techniques and Events
1996-2006" which took place in late summer 2006
at PHOENIX Halle Dortmund has just been published!
Irational is a loose grouping of six
international net and media artists who came
together around the server irational.org, founded
by the British net artist Heath Bunting in 1996,
going on to make decisive contribution to early
net art from the mid-1990s onward. They include
Daniel Garcia Andújar / Technologies to the
People (E), Rachel Baker (GB), Kayle Brandon
(GB), Heath Bunting (GB), Minerva Cuevas / Mejor
Vida Corporation (MEX) and Marcus Valentine (GB).
irational formulates an art of movement through
space which is intended to expand the subject's
possibilities of action - in the sense of a
tactic of individual empowerment.
The Hartware Guide to irational documents the 54
works included in the exhibition The Wonderful
World of irational.org" as well as the actions of
the irational action weekend.
