The Movement
................................
Thank you for joining the Movement.
The Movement is a project initiated by Julius Nil, for Static Gallery, Liverpool, UK.

Here's how the Movement works:

There are seven members of the Movement. Each has been invited to participate based on his or her work with either text, image or sound.

	The Movement is like the children's game "telephone" or like a multimedia chain letter. Each of the seven members has been assigned a position in the Movement, ranging from first to seventh.
	The first member sends something that he or she has created in his or her chosen media to the second member.
	The second member responds to the first work by creating a new work.
	The second member sends one copy of his or her work (but NOT the first work) to the third member. Etc.

A few details and clarifications:

	Each member receives only the work of the member directly preceding him or her in the Movement.
	The instructions ask that responses be critical (in the broadest sense of the word). Critical doesn’t mean derogatory. Critical means adding a voice to the work – a voice which expands the work, a voice which modifies the work, a voice which contests the work. Critical means collaborative.
	Each member of the Movement retains the copyrights for his or her work. This is the Movement.

High-Speed vs. Low Speed Connections:

The Movement was designed with high-speed connections in mind. If you have the option of experiencing the Movement via a high-speed connection (at work, at school, hacked into a private wireless network), please take advantage of that option.

If you only have access to a low-speed connection - let's say, for the sake of argument, a 56k modem or slower - we beg your indulgence. You will have to be patient during the download of media content (audio and/or video). The longest wait - the Fourth Movement - comes roughly in the middle of the sequence and might take seven or eight minutes. (While waiting for the download, you might take the opportunity to fix yourself a cup of tea; lemongrass is quite nice.) The rest of the download times are considerably shorter.

Also, despite our best efforts, we have been forced to present media content in a slightly compromised form. In the case of video, this means a smaller viewing window than the creators intended. In the case of audio, it means streaming audio which may be subject to occasional brief interruptions.

We trust you will grant the Movement's participants the benefit of the doubtand blame any questionable behavior on your internet service provider. Which raises the question: Doesn't Bill Gates have enough money to give everyone on the planet a free T1 line?

Yes, he does.

Enjoy.
