Project "sicher?"
("secure?") 1992 until xxxx
The project was started by Erwin Posarnig in 1992. With the means of artistic-scientific
forms of expression the social circumstances of this term are examined.
Out of this statement of the problem the interventions of KUNST://ABSEITS VOM
NETZ developed in social halls of mirrors of another, often enforced, form of
life. All within a society using the term SICHER (secure) as a new philosophic
starting-point.
