State

S.O.U.P is focused on taking part on the development of the potential uses of the datasphere. we stand for the open source model and share online our ideas and interests.

the present state of our project gathers work presented in Riga earlier in 2005 http://rixc.lv/sp/en.html our participation in the Piksel festival in Norway http://www.piksel.no/piksel05 where collaborated with the DRONE collective from Canada. in the near future we will have an installation to set up in Basel, Switzerland for the VIPER festival http://www.viper.ch/

our interests found a place for reflection in so called "new" media art festivals and symposiums, we have had the chance to embed our projects in the realm the artistic and software development discussions making it both a test ground as a conceptual experience towards the development and understanding of future projects.
