The exhibition is part of the Dutch Electronic Art Festival  ?DEAF03 Data 
Knitting?, organized by V2_, Institute for the Unstable Media (25 February 
- 9 March 2003 in Rotterdam, The Netherlands).

DEAF03?s exhibition presents recent, mostly interactive art that addresses 
the role and meaning of information in our knowledge based society in an 
inventive, confronting, but at the same time witty manner. DEAF03?s running 
theme is the use of archives and databases, where information is viewed in 
its wider sense as a building block for our knowledge and view of the 
world. As individuals we are being bombarded with streams of information 
that should provide us with knowledge but which are often so ?out of 
control? that they tend to confuse rather than enlighten us.
Visitors to the exhibition can interact with these artworks at several 
levels by changing and manipulating them. In this way they can use the 
databases and archives these artworks deploy, to generate experiences and 
images of a world that is forcing itself upon us as increasingly complex 
and global, but which at the same time is more and more local.
