TGarden, a prototypical example of ways in which artists work today and the issues they face, functions at the intersection of a multiplicity of social worlds: institutionally-based knowledge production, techno-scientific research, art and performance. The installation is both a “responsive environment” in which participants can move about in playful fashion and a method to conceive and build such environments. A new kind of game space? A club? All of these are thoroughly conceivable trajectories for TGarden. Ars Electronica presents *one* micro-manifestation of this project.
