From the archived Documenta 11 website: www.documenta12.de//archiv/d11/data/english/index.html

A key feature of the inquisitive multi-media activities of Delhi-based Raqs Media Collective is to implement alternative strategies for the production and the distribution of information via Free Software and the World Wide Web. Interpreting the city and urban experience, their most recent project 28.28’ N / 77.15’ E :: 2001-2002 (An Installation on the Co-ordinates of Everyday Life in Delhi) is devoted to common forms of inhabiting urban space, the making and unmaking of new and old territories. Co-ordinates Delhi is available on the Internet, inviting active modification of both the program and the public signage, slogans, videos, photographic imagery, and sounds of cosmopolitan Delhi that represent an urban fabric demarcated by forms of ecological, social and political abuse. The primary goal of Co- ordinates Delhi is to simulate an experiential situation of anxiety, fear, and the pleasures of a contemporary urban condition from a subjective point of view. Allowing each visitor to create his own ‘recension’ - a version of reality that is neither clone, nor copy, nor original - it attempts to evoke a different type of community based on free will and choice.”
