Are you scared? What are you scared of? How does fear immobilize or control you and the world around you? What does fear cost? Where does personal fear intersect with larger societal and political messages of terror? These are some of the questions we are interested in exploring through Terror?, a networking experiment investigating how people all over the world experience fear and how it affects our lives. Utilizing the internet as a starting place, this project is about searching for new and true definitions for a word that has become all too pervasive. Where are we now – five years from September 11, 2001? How much do we really know about what people around the world are experiencing? What kind of a here and now do we have? And, what kind of future? How do we actively and hopefully break through media distortions, manufactured information and a seemingly constant war agenda? Selected entries will be exhibited at Intersection for the Arts in San Francisco, California, U.S. for two months beginning on the 5-year Anniversary of 9/11 – September 11 through November 11, 2006.

In War our adjustments to everyday practices and daily life can reflect its radical climate, pointing to the nature of conflict and ones relationship to experience.
