Digital Crowd is a collaborative project which engages with an ongoing discussion on the 'crowd-like' nature of the Internet. One concern is a comparison between industrial times and the present condition of 'post-industrial' or information society, where social relations in online environments are indirect and stretched across global space. The project investigates these lines of continuity and departure between old and new forms of social interaction and agency. Perhaps we should begin with asking the question: in what ways do definitions and common understandings of the crowd (the crowd in history, the contemporary crowd in the street, at the concert, at a football match, at a demonstration, etc.) provide us with useful perspectives on the encounters, or rather cluster of encounters, that occur on the Internet? Digital Crowd involves: VX-labs, CNAS/STAR. TESE (Touring Exhibition of Sound Environments), Dartington College of Arts and The Dartmoor Project. http://www.crowd-like.net/
