Phase 1: Artists/artist groups from the participating European countries will take over the role of agents. They will set out to reach an unknown location in another foreign European country. In these selected places, preferably situated in the countryside, the artist should carry out artistic activities (operation/event) together with the local people of the area. Each operation will result in leftovers to value/products, which have to be transported by the artists to a central lab.
Phase 2: In this place the unified “leftovers” will operate in a so-called cultural transformation process (change in values) approximately over the period of one year. The transformation process aims to produce a higher valued “community resource”.
Phase 3: After one year shares of this “community resource” will be handed out in a public event to the corresponding European artist agents. Each will appropriate his share (= a piece of open (re)-source) and bring it back to his own country in order to handle it in an autonomous artistic way (follow-up projects).

Most important to this project is the direct and active involvement of the local people. The operation will not only be participated in and communicated in real time but will also be virtually documented. In order to get this project rolling, other cooperation partnerships are needed, such as private or public cultural institutions, universities of art and media, museums, curators and other cultural networks.
