WE ARE THE MEDIA!

The Third Space Network is an artist-driven Internet platform for staging creative dialogue, live performance and uncategorizable activisms: social empowerment through the act of becoming our own broadcast media.

Hosted by Randall Packer.

/// LIVE EVENTS ///

  • Networked Conversations

    Networked Conversations brings people together in live creative dialogue, our own alternative media where we debate the latest issues and break the news: all from a uniquely art & activist lens.

  • Raw Hope of Humanity Rising

    A series of public dialogues that address the political climate during the run-up to the 2020 presidential election, in which hope is as raw as our democracy is faltering.

/// REPORTAGE ///

  • Reportage from the Aesthetic Edge

    Reportage from the Aesthetic Edge is my global megaphone, my virtual soapbox, where I can say what needs to be said without constraint. If there is a role for the artist, this is it.

  • The Post Reality Show

    Deep down in the Underground Studio Bunker, I embed myself in the 24/7 information torrent to perform a critique of its intoxication, disinformation, and disorientation.
