an instance of the larger project Inside the Breath (In Network Time)

This installation presents excerpts of the texts, videos, songs, sounds, and artworks from Inside the Breath in the form of a regional information-reflection station, one of a distributed system of stations across the planet in INT. This environment is designed to encourage reflection on the histories, ideas, and feelings of INT society so that we can continue to inhabit these ideals.
