TRANSMISSION.06/Mimesis is an open call for the creation of an urban art intervention archive about camouflage and invisibility strategies.
This project intends to investigate the strategies and the dynamics of camouflage and of likeness, of subtle sabotage and tampering, of détournement: the techniques of fusion and intrusion between artistic language and daily life and conventional, media and public languages.

In year 2007 the most suitable works of the archive will be moving through different sites across Europe, where the documentation of the projects will be displayed. In the meanwhile a forum will be set up for public discussion between some of the participating artists and theorists.
