We live in a tumultuous media environment. There is widespread  
confusion, uncertainty and awe at the inventiveness of the thousands  
of people in media networks who innovate, copy, tinker, recycle,  
produce, remix and relay. The protagonists of Tinker.Solder.Tap bring  
alive the ways in which the relationship between life and the media  
has been re-scripted in the various neighbourhoods of our cities. The  
story begins in the mid-80s, when a man returns home with an object  
called a VCR. The chain of effects that follows transforms  
irreversibly the social life of the neighbourhood and its  
reverberations can be felt all over the world.
