the >wartime< project
the >wartime< projectCurrently the population of the planet is waiting for the launch of a deadly attack by one set of countries on another. the >wartime< project is a collective group effort by digital and network artists across all the continents to focus its visitors and audience on the horror and destructiveness of war.

In the >wartime< project over fifty artists, individuals or groups, organizing through the internet, have contributed pieces meditating on, reflecting on and reacting against wars, past, present and future. A further fifty or so artists are currently registered to contribute to the project in the future.
The project is designed to be visited online and also capable of being shown LIVE in public as a installation or performance show. A calendar of these public events is on the site.
We hope that the reach and diversity of approach, materials, sentiments and location in the component parts of our project demonstrates and reflects the range and scale of opposition to war. Collectively we will not be dragged into war without reaction, without questioning, and we have the will and capacity to defy the borders and barriers erected between people by war makers.
the >wartime< project is a joint initiative of the international digital artists group OFFLINE http://offline.area3.net and South London based digital arts events association open_digi http://club.net-art.ws/
Any correspondence concerning the project can be addressed to atty@no-such.com
Shockwave 8.5 and Flash MX plugins are needed to visit many parts of the project.
invitation to participate in the >wartime< project
the >wartime< project is a group collection of individual works by digital and network artists across this planet meditating on, reflecting on and reacting against wars, past, present and future. We hope the project will remind the individual user or audience of the disastrous destructiveness of war for humans and our environment.
All practicing digital and network artists are invited to take part in the >wartime< project. You will be able to make your own digital creative work around the theme of the project, which can be for online and public performance use, or only one or the other of these. When finished your piece will be linked into the collective project interfaces at http://offline.area3.net/wartime/showit.php.
you can join the >wartime< project by completing and sending the form at http://offline.area3.net/wartime/join.php
The only current restrictions on participation in the project are that participants should have some previous experience of digital artwork (or person with this experience assisting them) and that contributed work should not advocate or justify ethnic or racial attacks.
the >wartime< project is not specifically aimed to 'Stop the War' (on Iraq} but will be shown sometimes at 'Stop the War' events.
