In these days of regular overuse of the digital tools available to us, the makers of this movie have chosen the opposite approach. Their video 'Water' shows this element in all it's natural glory with ...
Hi, thanks for joining and welcome to the Social Arts Network. I would love to see you share some of the work that you do in the network. I also hope that you will connect with many members here. Our primary goal is to help artists around the world inspire each other and encourage everyone to keep creating their good works.
As you may already know, the network is managed by Escape Artists’ and is open to everyone. The next step is for you to simply invite any friends you may have in the arts, or anyone that you may know who would have a participatory interest in joining the Social Arts Network. Make sure to use the "Advanced Search" option when searching the network for other members in your field.
The Social Arts Network uses, and is built on, a platform similar to other well-known social networks such as MySpace, Facebook and YouTube. The network supports both still images and video, and has been designed to easily scale and allow us to grow into an extensive global network of active artists.
Please feel free to share samples of your works by uploading your events, photos, videos, music, training materials and research papers; and/or also start your own forum or group. If you have any questions about how to upload or edit anything, please just send me a message and ask.
Many thanks,
James Mickelson

About Me:
Iris Honderdos (installation-art, video) and Arno Peeters (sound designer, composer, multimedia) are what could be called ‘community based’ artists and they have a widespread experience in this field. Iris has been working extensively in former Yugoslavia (right after the war), in Russia and Korea. Since 2003 they live and work together. They have been working in Czech Republic (with former miners and their wives) Ukraine (during the Orange Revolution) and over the last three years in Vietnam (HIV infected women and ex-drug users).
In their method of working, they cannot know upfront what it is that they will create, since they need to ‘tap in’ on the emotions of the community they will work with.
After a process of research, followed by a period of meditation on the subject, sketching and modeling, the actual work on the installation and/or performance itself can begin. Up until now, the results mostly consisted of installations that sometimes are accompanied by sound or video and are presented to the audience during a performance or concert. The final result will in all cases be a gift to the community and is there to stay.

Think of SANe as a meta- network, an adhocracy, for people, organisations and other networks that are working in the field of arts and social action. The only requirement for joining SANe is that you have an interest in the arts as a means for raising awareness: a way of groping towards a social mind.
SANe is supported by the Syd Barrett Fund which, amongst other things, is working towards the creation of the Syd Barrett Social Arts Centre in Cambridge, UK. More...

SANe, the Social Arts Network, exists to facilitate communication between people who are interested in the development of socially inclusive arts practice, services, exhibitions and productions. The network is managed by
Escape Artists but it is open to everyone. Please feel free to upload your photos, videos, music and research papers, or to start your own forum or group.
It's a good idea to put your photos into an album as soon as you upload them; it makes them easier to find and gives them a context. And we'd be grateful if everyone could add either a picture of themselves or a company logo to their profile. SANe Books
Visit the SANe bookstore for a great range of books on socially inclusive arts. A percentage of any book sale made through SANe is donated to Escape Artists (UK registered charity no. 1086004) and helps to pay for the costs of managing this network.
Recommend books that you think other SANe members might be interested in.
