Heads On Fire is an organization dedicated to bridging the Digital Divide through the means of community based media arts programs. Technoliteracy is increasingly becoming the arbiter that separates the skilled worker from the unskilled, the adequately paid from those whose wages will not sustain a decent standard of living. Heads On Fire seeks to play a crucial role in preventing distressed populations from being flattened beneath the wheels of this revolution, by linking artists, communities, and technology.

We will make participation in this process a viable option for as many people as possible. We celebrate the fact that the digital revolution ushers heretofore unimagined possibilities for the voices of the oppressed to be broadcast, for the impoverished to find economic freedom, for victims of discrimination, exploitation, and abuse to straighten their backs and stand toe to toe, eye to eye, with their abusers.

The digital revolution ushers these changes, but they will not come automatically. Heads On Fire's mission is to be a force that works to realize the promise of these digital communication technologies to propel socially positive change on a global level.
