| Description | Julie's Weekend was a Digital film and web site exhibited as a video projection and web site at ZKM, Centre for Art and Media, Karlsruhe, Germany in The Future Cinema Show. It was a collaborative project initiated, written, edited and produced by Myers. The method was one of artistic collaboration in which Myers invited 5 participants from Prague, Sydney, London, New York, Florence, Jakarta and Hong Kong to respond to her set of instructions posted on the project web site.
Julie's Weekend investigated the role of the World Wide Web as a tool to generate creative exchange. Myers used on-line technology to expand models of collaboration, and extend the debate surrounding the politics of authorship, subjectivity and cultural difference. In particular it made a contribution to models of collaboration and interactivity.
