The ARPANET Dialogues
http://www.arpanetdialogues.net/

 
			
						In 1975, the Agency convened a rare series of conversations 
between an eccentric cast of characters representing a wide range of 
perspectives within the contemporary social, political, and cultural 
milieu. The ARPANET Dialogues is a serial 
document which archives these conversations. Even more unusual perhaps 
was the specific circumstances of the conversation: taking advantage of 
recent developments in telecommunications technology, the conversation 
was conducted via an instant messaging application networked by 
computers plugged into ARPANET, the United States Department of 
Defense's experimental computer network. All participants in the 
conversation were given special access to terminals connected to 
ARPANET, many of them located in US military installations or 
DOD-sponsored research institutions around the world. Excerpts from each
 session will be published as they become available.
 
			
			The ARPANET Dialogues is a project by 
Bassam El Baroni, Jeremy Beaudry and Nav Haq. Vol. I in the series is 
presented in conjunction with OVERSCORE, a multipart project developed 
by ACAF (Alexandria Contemporary Arts Forum) for Manifesta 8.
