NetEscape combines a public Internet site with a gallery installation which involves computers, net hangings and floor trails, taking the audience on a quirky journey of discovery. In a life-size game of wit and intimacy, the audience can communicate with personae including Mfnamic Kneebone or Miss Bicameral Blaine, who share their highly individual world-views, and invite you to leave your own for others to share. Will you use a keyboard, a pen, or your own body? British premiere.
