SIGN ON FOR ONLINE TRADING IN DIGITAL COMMONS - SEPT 1 through 29,
2002 (Please use netscape 6.0 or ie 5.x to access.)
Creative Time is pleased to present GARLIC=RICH AIR
(http://www.rich-air.com), the second and third phases of St(r)eaming
the Fields, a field harvesting and public network project conceived
by Shu Lea Cheang with funding provided by the "Challenge to the
Field" award from Lyn Blumenthal Memorial Fund for Independent Media.
In a fictional "after the crash" scenario, organic garlic has been
recently ordained as new social currency, serving as "credito" for a
global shared network. In the first phase of this project, Cheang
organized the harvesting of 10,000 garlic plants, cultivated by
organic farmer Tovey Halleck in upstate New York, by generations of
old and new media artists this summer. These organic cloves, which
took 10 years to cultivate, constitutes the garlic standard in this
artist initiated economy.
GARLIC CREDITO TRUEQUE CLUB
Starting September 1st, the garlic credito trading system launched at
www.rich-air.com where market denominators include digital bytes,
bandwidth, domains, URLs, network, system and software. This second
phase of the project invites the public to join the GARLIC CREDITO
TRUEQUE CLUB by signing up for online trading in the digital commons
at http://www.rich-air.com:8083/garlicF/register.jsp (Please use
netscape 6.0 or ie 5.x to access.) Members accrue garlic credito by
investing digital images, programming code scripts and other virtual
items for trade. In this participatory economy, the value of the
credito is created by the Trueque Club community.

Wireless network nodes as Mobile Urban Farm Stands
Once the valuation of the garlic credit has been established, the
third phase of the project focuses on enacting a virtual to physical
commodities exchange through New York City's wi-fi network. On
September 27, 28, 29, 2002 a designer truck equipped with loads of
garlic and wireless technology will serve as a mobile urban farm
stand. The truck will utilize selected New York City wireless
network nodes for online and onsite street trading activities.
Members of online credito trueque club can exchange virtual garlic
with edible organic garlic at the designated truck posts. Passersby
will also be welcome to participate in garlic trading with their own
offers. Creative Time will host the truck in DUMBO on the occasion
of the Consuming Places exhibition. GARLIC=RICH AIR will be running
concurrently with Marjectica Potrc's Urban Independent workshop that
further explores models of participatory urban planning, discusses
possible implications for their communities, and considers future
scenarios for applications in New York City.
