Re:Group proposes that with participation now a dominant paradigm, structuring social interaction, art, activism, the architecture of the city, the internet, and the economy, we are all integrated into participatory structures whether we want to be or not. The exhibition showcases work that subverts existing systems or envisions new alternatives to the ways in which individuals can take part, or choose not to take part, in social and cultural life.

Goran Milic was the editor in chief of Yu-Tel the last remaining television station, located in Sarajevo, covering news in all former Yugoslav territories after its break-up.
In 2002 Kireev executed a street performance in Amsterdam, as part of the Debates & Credits art project co-organised by De Balie, "Militsia in Amsterdam". The report aired on Amsterdam TV as a "Study in the Mechanisms of Obedience".
Kireev patrolled Amsterdam streets for several days, followed by a camera, dressed up as a typical Moscow Militsia officer, checking personal identity documents of random people on the street. The level of compliance he encountered was astounding.

9-11 and After: A Virtual Case Book
The attack on the World Trade Center was--among other things--a stunning media event, and there was no shortage of analysis on mass media coverage. We saw no reason to replicate what others were doing. What no one seemed to be looking at closely was the significance of this ephemeral material that filled the streets and parks in New York below 14th Street or its relationship with the new media that was also flooding our lives.
