24th-26th July: I am off to Sofia to take part in the E-Tribalisation workshop. Organizers statement & context: "The time of global retribalization is now. Social dynamics becomes unbound by geography, but dissipates in a maze of shallow  communication. As communication mazes fill or unfill with meaning, communities (tribes) sink and emerge, capable of asserting notable -even global - power at the height of their tide. As tribes unite or collapse, migrate and change shape, so do their ways of negotiating value and truth". 

The project brings together 12 international artists to test new ways of reaching electronic tribes with their work, to see how is the art discourse altered in this context, to test the difference an artwork cand make in an electronic tribe. During the 10 month process artists explore new perspectives on communicating with audiences and brings electronic communities a deeper understanding of the new social structures they are engaging.
