The Institute for Infinitely Small Things 
http://www.ikatun.org/institute/infinitelysmallthings/ conducts 
creative, participatory research that aims to temporarily transform 
public spaces dominated by corporate and political agendas. Using 
performance and conversation, we investigate social and political "tiny 
things". These have included corporate ads, street names, and post-9/11 
security terminology. The Institute markets dissent through its research 
reports in the form of maps, books and videos. This interdisciplinary 
group has a varied and open membership.

iKatun - http://www.ikatun.com/ is an artist-run organization whose 
mission is to foster public engagement in the politics of information. 
iKatun runs experimental curatorial platforms, supports art projects and 
publishes critical writing. iKatun was founded in 2000 as a 501(c)3 
organization based in Boston, MA.

Platform2: Art and Social Engagement is an experimental event series 
about creative practices at the intersection of social issues. Platform2
