>Creative Time is pleased to present GARLIC=RICH AIR
>(http://www.rich-air.com),
>the second and third phases of St(r)eaming the Fields, a field harvesting
>and public
>network project conceived by Shu Lea Cheang with funding provided by the
>"Challenge to the Field" award from Lyn Blumenthal Memorial Fund for
>Independent Media.
>
>In a fictional "after the crash" scenario, organic garlic has been recently
>ordained as
>new social currency, serving as "credito" for a global shared network. In
>the first phase
>of this project, Cheang organized the harvesting of 10,000 garlic plants,
>cultivated by
>organic farmer Tovey Halleck in upstate New York, by generations of old and
>new media
>artists this summer. These organic cloves, which took 10 years to
>cultivate,
>constitutes
>the garlic standard in this artist initiated economy.
>
>GARLIC CREDITO TRUEQUE CLUB
>
>Starting September 1st, the garlic credito trading system launched at
>www.rich-air.com
>where market denominators include digital bytes, bandwidth, domains, URLs,
>network,
>system and software. This second phase of the project invites the public to
>join the
> GARLIC CREDITO TRUEQUE CLUB by signing up for online trading in the
>digital
>commons .
>Members accrue garlic credito by investing digital images, programming code
>scripts
>and other virtual items for trade. In this participatory economy, the
>value
>of the credito
> is created by the Trueque Club community.
>
>GET GARLIC. GO WIRELESS:
>Wireless network nodes as Mobile Urban Farm Stands
>
>Once the valuation of the garlic credit has been established, the third
>phase of the
>project focuses on enacting a virtual to physical commodities exchange
>through
>New York City's wi-fi network. On September 27, 28, 29, 2002 a designer
>truck equipped with loads of garlic and wireless technology will serve as a
>mobile
>urban farm stand. The truck will utilize selected New York City wireless
>network
>nodes for online and onsite street trading activities. Members of online
>credito trueque
>club can exchange virtual garlic with edible organic garlic at the
>designated truck posts.
>Passersby will also be welcome to participate in garlic trading with their
>own offers.
> Creative Time will host the truck in DUMBO on the occasion of the
>Consuming
>Places exhibition.
>GARLIC=RICH AIR will be running concurrently with Marjectica Potrc's Urban
>Independent workshop
>that further explores models of participatory urban planning, discusses
>possible implications
>for their communities, and considers future scenarios for applications in
>New York City.
