As our ability to 'commute' across geographical distance increases, what can we discover about ourselves and our common global experience of cities? What connections can we make?   During 1998 eighteen artists working in Australia and Germany commuted between two world cities in their search for global connections between the artist and the contemporary urban experience. Each artist was given an 'address' to search out which paired them up with an artist in the other city. The 'kommuting' began with 'travel kits' being sent from the Australian artists to the German artists, to be followed up by telephone, fax, email, slow mail, the www and even a plane trip. The result was a cityartpublicspace installation of works in two public sites at Platform (railway subway) and Bus Stop Art (five transport shelters) in March 1998. The result was the cityartpublicspace installation of works in Melbourne in two public sites in a railway subway (Platform) and in five city transport shelters. The opening night was held in the subway amidst the Friday night commuter rush. The reverse process resulted in installations in two public stairwells in October this year at Galerie Treppenhaus in Berlin and the Public Office in West Melbourne. Treppenhaus is a community run space in a wide, two level stairwell at U-bahn Steglitz located under the city autobahn. The Public Office has six levels of stairwell leading to a cafe, bar, access office and Six Degrees Architects located above a two level car park in an industrial area. The Public Office also hosted a Kultural Kommuting artists' Forum that extended the dialogue beyond the Berlin link to 'konnections' between Australian artists and artists in Hong Kong, Vietnam, Scotland, China, Turkey, Italy, the Czech Republic, UK, USA and New Zealand.
