The trick is to create something physical and transformative with an economy of means.
Something that denies the pure dematerialization of the internet, but as graceful a gesture as an athlete's subtle turn or a beautiful woman opening a window.
Two of the artists come from that slightly more idealistic moment popularly known as the 1960s. The others come from the present moment.
David Askevold's Projects Class came as the immediate inspiration. Canadian artist Askevold held a course at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in 1969 where he invited artists to propose an idea to be realized by the class as collaborators.
