********************
*Location One* is a not-for-profit organization devoted to convergence
between visual, performing and digital arts in a time of rapidly changing
technology. We invite artists from different disciplines and from different
countries to work in our studios. We ask them to experiment with the new
technologies of artistic creation, interaction and delivery. We urge them to
collaborate in creating new works and give them virtual Internet spaces and
physical gallery space to exhibit the results. Our goals are to foster the
creation of new work, new forms of expression, and new capabilities in
artists, and to advance new awareness in all those we reach.
