The Experiment

From Rhizome Artbase
2002
Description

The Experiment Network believes that we must constantly be asking ourselves new questions about ourselves and our realities such as who we are, what we do and why we do. While the answers may vary, it is this process of questioning that shapes new ideas and sharpens our view of existing states. As a network we want to push boundaries of where ideas, world views and our consciousness lie.
