From Rhizome Artbase

Description

net.art piece that creates the perception of an Estate Agent site. Re-working the language, strategies and mechanisms [such as Virtual Tours] common to these sites to ‘sell’ the importance of dialogue between architects [based in the Newcastle area of North East UK] and users [the people that live and work in the buildings]. The work creates dialogue between the authors and users of 5 residential and 5 non-residential sites. Third and last in the 'beingthere' series: with 'LIVE! NUDE! SPACE!' the first and 'welkom 2 r'dam' as the second in this series.
