US DAT Secretary-at-Large Randall M. Packer will report on the
aesthetic edge of the international arts festival, employing the
Department's state-of-the-art mobile communications system to provide
a live feed of the unfolding, situational space of the Venice
Biennale. US DAT invites a global audience to follow the critical
lens of the Secretary-at-Large in the deconstruction of all things
Art World.

The SITUATIONAL TOUR of the 51st Venice Biennale is the initial phase
of the US DAT reclamation of the American Pavilion, transforming it
as the "Virtual Pavilion" for the 52nd Venice Biennale, 2007. The
theme of the exhibition will be "representation through
virtualization."

The US Department of Art and Technology is the United States
principal conduit for facilitating the artist's need to extend
aesthetic inquiry into the broader culture where ideas become real
action. It also serves the psychological and spiritual well-being of
all Americans by supporting cultural efforts that provide immunity
from the extension of new media technologies into the social sphere.
