The interaction between the network and the real world (ie communication between the incorporeal and physical) becomes more and more a matter of interfaces and artifacts constructed ad hoc forge the link between two worlds separated only apperentemente. endnode (AKA Printer tree) is an installation in progress for the exhibition 'Beta Launch: Eyebeam Artists in Residence '02'. It is a wooden structure of a tree whose 'branches' all end with an inkjet printer. The peripherals are connected with a printer server that sends to each well concealed posts dell'apposita mailing list, in addition to post in other fora such Nettime Thingist, Syndicate and Xchange. In this way, the messages themselves are falling like a rain of dead leaves flutter to the ground. The entire audience is encouraged to send messages to the list to see their ideas materialized and dropped to the ground without being able to intervene in any way.
