Rhizome 7/7 conference

On 16th April, 2010, seven leaders in Technology and seven leaders in Art were paired up and left for a day to develop something new. The results were shown the following day in the New Museum in Ney York. This was the Rhizome Seven on Seven conference. Here is a list of videos with a line of summary for each.

Monica Narula & Joshua Schachter


How much will you pay to get rid of your guilt? That, and the voyeuristic fun of making people bare their guilt for 2 cents. Literally.

I found them to be very enjoyable, each and everyone.
