Description

Please read the FAQs before downloading(http://fluidnexus.net/infos/faq)

In the second decade of the twenty-first century, networkscontinue to be defined by their stable topology represented in animage or graph. Peer-to-peer technologies promised new arrangementsabsent centralized control, but they still rely on stationarydevices. Mobile phones remain wedded to conventional networkproviders.

Instead, the combination of peer-to-peer with mobility enables anew concept of an information transfer infrastructure that relieson fluid, temporary, ad-hoc networks. People and devices are atonce implicated as mobile nodes in this network (known in computerscience as a sneakernet).

Fluid Nexus is a demonstration of how one might design softwareto bypass Internet intermediaries' control over the identificationand circulation of messages. It is a piece of interrogativesoftware art, of a piece with other attempts to rework networktopology such as the Eternal Network used by mail artists orprojects such as Dead Swap or netless. We draw partial inspirationfrom the potential activist re-purposing of digital technologieswithout being subsumed by the same goals.

While Fluid Nexus is designed for non-Internet-basedcommunications, we have also developed the Nexus, a space on thissite for "public" messages to be automatically uploaded by anyFluid Nexus user. The Nexus includes text, audio, images, and videocapabilities, and the original sender has control whether themessage will become public or not. The Nexus extends the reach ofthe Fluid Nexus non-network beyond those using the software ontheir phone or laptop/desktop.
