Title Description:
V/A "Surface Tension: The Probematics of Site" BOOK/CD " Edited by Brandon LaBelle and Ken Ehrlich. CD compiled by Stephen Vitiello. CD mastered and manufactured by Ground Fault Recordings. Published by Errant Bodies Press (300 page book with compact disc)"

"Surface Tension aims to broadly explore the notion of Site by addressing questions of public space and the frictions and conversations that occur as intersections of the imagined and the real. Through investigating these interactions, Surface Tension will seek to make apparent connections between cultural production and the very spaces in which such work functions. As much as the rhetoric of globalization, virtuality, and digital networking dominates contemporary discourses of place and space, Surface Tension looks towards proximate space and experiences of locality to tease out the tensions between contemporary global communications and the site-specifics of everyday life. Rather than reinforce existing notions of an authentic alternative vs. a 'wired' culture, we hope to explore the cultural and personal
investments made in technology in order to examine how social and political space is inhabited and made manifest. This entails a consideration of the desires, impulses, and longings which occur within and against the contexts of social spaces and cultural arenas, and how this very interaction performs within the dynamics of spatial organization. Out of these relations comes the radically diverse ways space can be negotiated, manipulated, and traversed."
