N55 is a platform for people who want to work together to share economy and means of production.  N55 are based in Copenhagen, Denmark.
For the Radiator festival, N55 are working as the N55 INTELLIGENCE AGENCY [NIA].  The N55 [NIA] is dedicated to gathering information about concentrations of power. The purpose of NIA is to uncover and make visible the plans, strategies and tactics of such organizations.

The focus of the N55 [NIA] is on the effects of concentrations of power that are less visible than major power structures yet have influential effects on everyday life. For Radiator, N55 will be working with Eastside City, a urban regeneration company currently developing the Island Phase, a proposed mixed-use regeneration scheme in Sneinton and the Eastside of Nottingham.
The approved plans include almost 1.5 million square feet of new offices, and 1.5 million square feet of stylish new homes, shops, bars, restaurants, car parking and leisure facilities all in waterside park land setting.  Intrinsic to the creation of Eastside City are the plans for a new Sneinton Market Quartergate that will redevelop Sneinton Market at the Nottingham bus depot.
N55 have recently exhibited their “Walking House” at the Wysing Arts Centre,
Cambridge.

N55 Intelligence Agency (NIA) is one of the two selected works
co-commissioned by Radiator Festival and FACT, Liverpool. After launching
at Radiator in January 2009, the piece will be part of FACT’s exhibition
‘Climate for Change’ in March 2009.
