Asialink Arts, Bus Projects (Melbourne) and Ruang MES 56 (Yogyakarta) present Put Up a Signal, a multifaceted artist exchange featuring Indonesian and Australian screen based art. Exploiting the fact that video and sound files can now be shared across the world at low cost, the project explores opportunities for richer collaboration and exchange made possible through the Internet and digital platforms. Showcasing the developments taking place in both communities, the project uses an evolving, decentralised model of collaboration between artists and organisations.
