Recently in 2011, William Forsythe and Dana Caspersen, also a dancer in The Forsythe Company, presented "KNOTUNKNOT" in the Festival Frankfurter Positionen which provides a space designated to the promotion of experience and insight. In this case, "KNOTUNKNOT" is a social, install-choreography that invited visitors to interactively share a social experience which consisted of assembling and disassembling a knotted object.
Another section engaged structured conversations between visitors. This work is particularly interesting in that the meaning behind assembling and dissembling the knotted object suggests that the object depends on the strength and intentions of it's makers. ALso, the structured conversations between the visitors simply examine how we as as humans shape our society based on our beliefs, values, assumptions and what we do on an individual basis or a collective basis, or even why we do it.

Also, in 2011, the Cebit Expo was in Germany. This is one of the biggest tech conferences in the world! According to Kasia Lorenc in a review of "2011 Tech Events for IT Pros and Developers" the Cebit Expo event is organized in sections designed for specific audiences including, business operations, consumer, government solutions, as well as research and development. The “hot topic” of the 2011 expo is “Work and Life with the Cloud.”
Even as a community there is always something to be developing or creating and working together; we create the "object that is knotted."
