Sourcebook defined

Inspired by Sean Cubitt's description of a networked subjectivity, the "sourcebook" is the Spring 2007, Learning Is A Public Art collaborative experience and expression. It is meant to be viewed, contributed to and used as a map; "as a resource which is portable; annotated; parsed by content; light rather than heavy; as a visual educator; a catalyst for conversation and thought; direct links to origin material; a locater as well as a continuum."
