First there was just public space in the
landscape, now the newest form is the
Internet. Artistic work taken out of the
countryside into the Net creates a
contrast between the unique and
individual nature of the landscape and
the total openness of the worldwide web.
The unchanging nature of the countryside
is fixed by various features - whether
natural or artificial, the results of
people's actions. In ÒourÒ countryside,
as throughout the Sudeten Land, there
are German features: the original
buildings have often been taken apart
and rebuilt, they have collapsed, become
overgrown and gone back to nature. Only
a few are still inhabited. In our
project the whole process of change and
decay is sped up and in one year a
building will be overgrown, hidden
behind a cloak of greenery and returned
to nature. Other buildings are moved to
other sites and so brought up against
both the malleability of the landscape
and the local architecture, producing
features which are peculiar to a
particular locality.

The buildings were chosen in areas where
the original architecture has been
disappearing fast since the end of the
war.
