LIBERATE YOUR WIFI BANDWIDTH
YOU ARE THE NET. YOU ARE PORTA-PORTER

TAKE2030, a London-based new media society presents PORTA2030 at the Taipei Biennale 2006. Under the theme "Dirty Yoga" of TB2006, PORTA2030 conveys its dirty desire for self-sustainable, self-operating, open and free network to be owned by each and every member of the public by year 2030. PORTA2030 proposes an interactive project with Taipei’s open source society, fashion designers and the general public. In an "After the Net crash" scenario, we imagine that by the year 2030, our mobiles will be locked, our network blocked and our roaming barred. The DIY porta-pack which contains a modified wifi network system, a webcam, a communicative device would be the much sought after networked tool by year 2030.
