Synopsis
Transact
(Flesh/Skin/Bone)
showcased the outcomes of a six-month research and development grant funded
by the New Media Arts Board of the Australia Council. The project aimed to
develop a new media installation form that would be experienced by interactors
as evolving through an active, participative exchange. These interacting participants
within the work would be located at a number of worldwide venues and on-line.
Project 'Transact' sought to do this through applying knowledges drawn from both philosophical and scientific ecologies, new media and new performance practices. It was the precursor to the Intimate Transactions project.
