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.

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.
