description
Long Time No See? is a new project supported by the Australia Council for the Arts Special National Broadband Initiative to create an innovative 'next generation' artwork optimised for the forthcoming National Broadband Network (NBN). We will create a living work that develops dialogs around time, community and futures, working with a range of nascent communities of interest, initially drawn from NBN connected locations, students and special interest groupings such as Festival audiences.

Community Catalyst
Objective: A community of change enabled to develop new myths and metaphors through the transformative dynamics of social process, artmaking and subjectification (re)directed towards futuring as part of the Long Time No See project.
Community of Change
Tendencies towards utopian ideals of community. Cognisant that community is not given and cannot be assumed.
Moving with participants through a series of engagements to enable futuring as storytelling / storytelling as futuring through image, sound and text
Creating multiple experiences of knowing as part of a process of change

“Community isn't a property, nor is it a territory to be separated and defended against those who do
not belong to it. Rather, it is a void, a debt, a gift to the other that also reminds us of our constitutive
alterity with respect to ourselves” - Roberto Esposito

CLA asks participants to explore four different layers of understanding issues of concern:
Litany: Surface, easily-verified comments Social Causes: Statements invoking actors and
their structural relationships Discourse/Worldview: Grand, “big picture”
statements that challenge assumptions on the previous two levels - reflect deeper, generally non-negotiable worldviews.
Myth and Metaphor: Folk sayings, slogans, archetypes and ancient stories.
Myth & Metaphor
The most powerful dimension – symbolic and cultural capital
Cultivating new/alternative/redirected cultural imaginaries
Working with images or phrases that encapsulate our constraints and what we hope to achieve
‘Change community for what?' - Capturing new stories or images to enable futuring and ‘making time’.
