I am proposing a project entitled "Deconstructing Duchamp" which requires 25 participants to lateralise the Large Glass by reconfiguring The Bride Stripped Bare by her Bachelors, Even from a 2D field into 25 interlinked elements across the Network field. Each element of the Glass e.g. The chocolate grinder, 9 malic moulds etc., will be a web-site for gathering ideas, theories, quotes, diagrams, illustrations, sounds, images ......... relating to that element.
Where this information touches, involves or points the way to another Glass element a direct link is made. The project needs each of the 25 participants to be responsible for one element/web-site's design, data input, linkage and update.

If you are interested in digitising Duchamp and taking on a web-site please email me -

This should make an exciting project transposing the Large Glass into a global web of 25 interlinked web-sites, possibly a new interpretation in itself, certainly an explicit display of Duchamp's associated thoughts and ideas held within this piece of work and hopefully an illustration of the poetical and philosophical magic of his thought.

DEW HARRISON BIOGRAPHY  I am a doctoral research student at CAIIA where my current research involves the meeting of hypermedia, concept-based art and the cognitive models of associative thought which underlie both. The work processes under the title "Hypermedia Systems: the interpretation and creation of concept-based art" and is concerned with creating coherent linkage systems of multi-media thoughts and ideas, fully interactive, collaborative and easily accessed by any user. I am about to undertake a critical analysis of the conceptual structure implicit in Marcel Duchamp's Large Glass, the Case-Study for this inquiry. It is intended to transpose this art work, as a semantic network system, into hypermedia to examine and determine the underlying conceptual architecture.
