///COUNTER : an artistic system for the transmission of cultural energy

My thesis introduces ///COUNTER as an artistic system for the transmission of cultural energy. The underlying concepts of ///COUNTER are derived directly from my work on energy access as developed through the eWheel and Human Grid projects. the ///COUNTER has evolved parallel to and informed by the activities, relationships, and projects I have been immersed in during my two years as a graduate student in the MIT Visual Arts Program. MIT's social and technological environment is the engine from which ///COUNTER as a hybrid system of art and science has been created. ///COUNTER was incorporated in the Spring of 2009 and headquartered at One Broadway in Cambridge, Massachusetts. As a corporation, ///COUNTER is an effective tool and medium through which art can become a form of power designed to play a central role in producing positive social change. ///COUNTER is presented below as a plan of action towards that aim.
