Global Identities, Global Technologies:
Formation/Dissolution
Public Domain is beginning to conceptualize a project that will coincide
roughly with the Olympics in Atlanta (1996). This project will be threefold,
centering around the theme of Identity: Formation/Dissolution and will concern
itself with individual, group, national, and international identity formation,
dissolution, and reconstruction under the aegis of a technological
infrastructure. This structure is now global in nature and yet has very
localized and specific effects on individual psychs as well as on larger
groupings.
1) Use will be made of the international networking capacity which we have
established through the Internet in the construction of a simultaneous
worldwide event;
2) A series of presentations and performative theory events will be staged
through the network set up through Working Papers. Presentors will be local
as well as national/international;
3) and finally, the proceeding of the above events will be made available
through a special issue of Perforations, our 'media kit' journal of theory,
technology, and art.
This is the first of a series of ongoing position papers which will help
delineate the parameters of Public Domain- initiated events and presentations
concerning the effects of technology in a world-wide context. Input through
the local Working Papers (now at number 6.5) is welcome as well as through the
Public Domain Internet computer server now housed at Emory University or
however you find it possible to make contact.
