FIVE ROOFS | FIVE CONTINENTS
ONE EARTH UNITES MANY WORLDS 

In cooperation with ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe, REMOTEWORDS installed a message with five words on five continents authored by Peter Weibel on the occasion of GLOBALE. RW.26, RW.27, RW.28 and RW.29 have been installed in Taipei at Taipei Artist Village, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, with Ghetto Biennale, in Kliptown, Johannesburg at SKY – Soweto Kliptown Youth and Auckland at MIT, Manukau Institute of Technology.
