Summary

Description
English: In 1993 Ebon Fisher (in the black hat) invited Williamsburg, Brooklyn’s interdisciplinary community to participate in a large, all night “web jam.” The goal was to see how far they could take the collaborative, weblike creativity that had begun with earlier neighborhood experiments like the Sex Salon, The two Cat’s Heads, Human Fest and Flytrap. A series of meetings were held to organize overlapping cultural systems which took over most of the Old Dutch Mustard Factory and its yards. The event, located on Metropolitan Avenue near the waterfront, drew in more than 2,000 participants and was broadcast live on WFMU and discussed in Newsweek, Domus, Wired, the Performing Arts Journal (PAJ) and several art history books. Half a dozen artists, including Fisher and the perennial event coordinator, Anna Hurwitz, helped to guide the web jam and after it concluded, regrouped to set up a permanent interdisciplinary space inside a corner of the factory called Mustard. That lasted a year until a fire led to the cancelling of the lease.
