Her current project, "The Institute for Infinitely Small Things," is a research organization that supports various ways of going on expeditions in the world to find and create infinitely small things. By conducting microperformative interventions and supporting research into infinitely small things, "The Institute for Infinitely Small Things" creates experimental social and political spaces for members of the public to imagine new forms of resistance to the current condition of Empire.     kanarinka is Co-Director of iKatun, a collaborative group of artists and technologists, and the Associate Director of Art Interactive, Boston's premier new media arts space.

Hackitectura (Sp), Friends of William Blake (USa), and more in a temporary exhibition for the afternoon.
