"We saw the art action, WebJs, at the Nida Art Colony (a brand new residency department of the Vilnius Academy of Arts, Lithuania) as an event in the Derridean and/or Foucaultian sense. A mix of eight weeks research and an endless stream of internet data resulted in a five hour performance on the 18th December where seven artists, 54 livestream viewers and 89 visitors were involved. The performance was transmitted in real time over the net. Visitors to the Nida Art Colony were invited to enjoy walking with a laptop computer around the space to appreciate the Mackenzian state of being – wirelessness." This is how WebJs curator puts in his text about 8 weeks residencies organised by him and produced by Lithuanian Interdisciplinary Artists' Association (www.letmekoo.lt).

The new project website has just been launched with all the documentation http://www.webjs.lt.

You can also experience WebJs performance with artists statements in the 15 min. video made by eminent Lithuanian video artist Evaldas Jansas.
