===============================================
YOU ARE THE NET
YOU ARE PORTA-PORTER
--- toward building portable and responsive social networks,
===============================================

PORTA2030 is a performative urgency network exercise with PORTA-porters.
PORTA2030 launches its porta-pack, a wifi compact unit that documents, 
archives and transmits during the Node London media season in 
March,2006.

PORTA2030 locates East London's Broadway market, a racially mixed urban 
block currently under regeneration plan of Hackney council, as the site 
for its public performance. PORTA2030 engages the community members as 
PORTA-porters in scripting its site-specific urgency scenario. Roaming 
in Broadway Market's public wifi zone, PORTA-porters equipped with 
porta-packs upkeeps the communal data and echoes each other upon 
receiving urgency signals. Audio and visual data transmitted live from 
porta-packs and displayed in public view is further remixed, calling 
for active public participation and intervention.

PORTA2030 holds 3 public meeting sessions to discuss self-initiative 
networks, sign up PORTA-porters, conduct scripting sessions and 
porta-pack workshops.
