o-o Institutio Media

Net.art project. 1998-1999, 2021
In collaboration with Kestutis Andrasiunas and Darius Miksys

Project has been designed as an attempt to transfer an institution into the Internet and study its functioning in the Web. An academic institution was chosen, since at the present time we have the broadest experience of the activity of such institutions. We also wish to explore the relation of a physically limited and virtual spaces. In a real space and time the functioning of an institution is restricted by its premises and the regularity of activity, which is necessary for the interactivity and existence of that institution. In a virtual space it is restricted by technology and the quality of connection. The Web makes it possible to avoid the expropriation of the physical location – it is replaced by a “site” in a server – the quantity of magnetic memory.
