Maintenance/Web

1997, Web project made in collaboration with Torsten Zenas Burns

Made in collaboration with Torsten Burns, this net art project presents the fictional scenario of a gardening space ship, the Green Field. The site includes a catalogue of fictional gardening tools, biographies of the ship’s three crew members (the artists’ alter egos), a virtual tour of the ship, a ship’s log, and a space where users can send directives to the ship’s crew from mission control. The project is an experiment with using the web to create fragmented narrative and speculative language.
