ACCESS SPACE
Press : Intro : How To Contact Us : How To Visit Us : Thanks

A big "thank you" to Redundant Technology Initiative's major sponsors and helpers, without whom the project could not have reached this stage and wouldn't continue to grow.

Many thanks are also due to our computer donors, many of whom have never before considered supporting an arts project, and to our previous supporters, who have helped us to get the project to this stage.
