INFORMATION AS PERFORMANCE:
NEGOTIATING DIGITAL BOUNDARIES

In the digital age, information is never static.  Thoughts, voices,
and experiences are transformed as they move from analog to digital.
Artists, writers, scholars, and technology innovators will explore the
boundaries of digital possibility in nine public programs.


Santa Monica Museum of Art, 2434 Main Street, Santa Monica
*Informational Exchange*

Simultaneously, the Web saturates with words, images, and sounds. How
is this information processed and categorized, and how is information
transformed and altered through the process of digitizing?
