In 1996, before social media was a thought, 26 words were penned into law that shaped the internet.

Available anywhere

Experience hosted by HERE / URHERE

In 1996, before social media was a thought, 26 words were penned into law that shaped the internet. Almost entirely unrevised today, Section 230 has impacted culture in a way that cannot be undone. This live, online performance questions, fetishizes, and deconstructs these 26 words that gave birth to a culture of memes, doom scrolls, insurrections, and cats. Section 230 takes a deep and often dark look at the online trails forged by a law that gives a sword and shield to online companies while everyone else is left to melt inside a social volcano programmed to perpetually erupt.

URHERE is a new one-of-a-kind, rigorously curated virtual platform for outdoor and digital premieres. URHERE aims to occupy an important part of the art ecosystem which nurtures experimentation, sparks dialogue, and creates engagement with the local community. Supporting independent artists and ensembles, URHERE expands on HERE’s mission to support multidisciplinary work made by artists at every stage of their careers. While projects may take many different forms, the platform will focus on artists whose work captures a rich cross-section of risk-taking, new perspectives, and artistic disciplines.
