Landless Outpost/Functional Prison Object That Fills Itself With The
Life Of Others
the ROM is a survival system of associations initiated
here by the relationship of
a people
to their world
"Native American Tribes without sovereignty rights, federal
recognition or a land base is like the average American family without a
home, without an opportunity to educate their children, and without an economic
base to better their families for the 21st. century."

"Landless Outpost/Functional Prison Object That Fills Itself With The
Life Of Others" is a sculptural work in progress. A collaboration by Jesse
Cooday and Stephen Thurston, it's a 15ft. tall functioning tower that, when
installed, will house internet access eguipment with which the participant
can enter the "Landless Outpost..." website ( of which this is the germ).
The site will be fed with live video from the Seet-kah, Alaska Landless
Community, and be maintained as an information exchange arena and "clearing-house"
specific to Landless-related material. Live video from the tower itself
( wherever in the world it might at that time be installed ) will provide
'net participants with a visual connection to the tower.
