Net Institute >>
net institute
The net_institute is a "eusocial" event that takes place in the space between
hybridized networks and cultures. It is simultaneously pro-institution, urban,
open source, text-based, lo-tek, ascii amateurish (in the best sense of the
word, "a networked lover"), connective, psychedelic, minimalist, iconoclastic
and metaphorically self-absorbed. Join the net_institute. Watch your comfort
dreams slip away while becoming-institutionalized.

[Intro] the net_institute reveals the social simulation of content,
normally protected by institutional or antagonistic rhetoric, and the power
frames hidden in the art world and counterculture. at the same time as the
institutions are hosting subversive net_artists and cultural terrorists, the
net_institute itself becomes an institution. as the real power leaves the
government buildings to move to faceless corporations, the net_institute gets
hold of abandoned simulacra, occupies the center of the territory, makes the
power relationship visible again. since power no longer has a face, a center,
a head, the net_institute turns the net in a collective and organized
intelligence. the net_institute does not live in the underwoods of the net.
