The urban entertainment culture of the 21st century has spawned a host of event worlds for shows, amusement and consumerism. Malls, theme parks, amusement centres and events are symbols of the cultural change accompanying the disintegration of the previously separate spheres of culture, politics, society and business. The marketing of cities and regions with spectacular presentations of history and culture and the redevelopment of city centres to create event spaces for shopping and entertainment are an eloquent expression of this development. In ever fewer cases is this process of urban reorganisation the product of town planning schemes devised by the public authorities. The commercialisation of cities is being accompanied by a loss of public space, increasing controls and a growing exclusion of the poor and destitute. The commercialisation of culture is celebrating its triumphal march in the event city. Architecture, as an artistic product, is barely in a position to hold its ground against the powerful flow of cultural goods. It forms part of the window dressing which cities are using to generate an image for themselves. Architecture becomes a consumer item. Global popular culture is leaving its mark on cities in the 21st century. Urban life is the vessel for a colourful mixture of blends and interfusions, for the re-composition of cultural practices and the re-telling of narratives. The images and scripts of global mass culture are being woven into the routines and imaginary worlds of everyday urban life. Cities are witness to struggles for cultural representation. The power configurations for the articulation of different cultures in the event city provide an indication of the social structure of the post-industrial city. The culture of the 21st century city is an area of conflicting interpretations and practices with an explosive juxtaposition of new inequalities and non-contemporaneity. This confused situation makes it more and more difficult for architects and urban developers to exercise their responsibility for the design and structure of public spaces. The second Bauhaus Kolleg will focus on the changes in the urban environment brought about by the cultural revamping which cities are undergoing. It will investigate and analyse the changed conditions in the development of the urban environment in an event-oriented society with a view to drawing up design strategies for an "event city beyond sprawl". Urban entertainment centres with their combination of shopping and popular culture can be seen as prototypes for the re-urbanisation of cities. They illustrate the globalisation of urban culture. Project development, management and design are in the hands of trans-national companies. The goods they have on offer can be found anywhere in the world. It is in these centres that the global and the local space come together. The second Bauhaus Kolleg will incorporate a study of themed department stores as urban spatial nodes. The design opportunities incorporated in the blueprint for an urban entertainment centre as an event space for diverse cultures and as a flexible structure for change and exchange will be discussed using this type of event city as an example. 1st term - September 1st to November 30th 2000 "Event worlds" - theory and method The aim of the first term is to provide a comprehensive overview of the development trends in culture, society, economics, planning and architecture in the event-oriented society. It will deal with the theory and history, methodological access to and practical knowledge of the development of the event city. The first term will be divided up into two blocks. The lectures and seminars in the first block will provide an overview of the complexity of the event city. The workshops in the second block will focus on methods of studying and designing urban environments using the project location, the European quarter in Frankfurt, as an example. The teaching programme will be supplemented by excursions to urban event worlds in Germany and to the project location. 2nd term - February 14th to May 11th 2001 "Urban spatial node" - an architectural blueprint Frankfurt am Main is planning to erect a new district, the European quarter, around an urban entertainment centre for shopping, entertainment and popular culture on disused railway sidings and a site not far from the exhibition centre. This project is one of the many examples of urban redevelopment engineered by an alliance of private investors, trans-national companies and commercial architectural interests. The ensuing transfer of the centre to a homogenised, commercialised and controlled event world is the subject of much discussion. The flashy shop window of a standardised urban future clearly reflects a loss of urbanity. The Bauhaus Kolleg will devise a model for an urban entertainment centre in the European quarter in Frankfurt as part of an architectural blueprint. It will be based on an understanding of the urban event world as an "urban spatial node", as a flexible structure providing an interfusion of local and global space, commercialised cultural events and everyday cultural practices. 3rd term - June 19th to September 14th 2001 "Artscapes" - art in practice "Artscapes" is the term Arjun Appadurai applies to images of the here and now, images on which works of art are based and from which they derive their motivation. The suffix "-scape" refers to a recognition of the mobility of images and to the connections and relations between them. Heterogeneous cultural materials, scripts and images merge with one another to form urban spatial nodes in the urban event spaces. Artscapes take up the short-circuit between global flow and local images and the way they are changed and exchanged. They characterise the movement between images and the mass-cultural context of their production and provide an indication of the changeability of meanings. The Bauhaus Kolleg will make use of artistic interventions in the form of artscapes to document the relations of visibility in the artificial environment of the urban entertainment centre. They will thus be operating at the interface between what images in the city reveal and what remains hidden behind the surface of the images.

The event, which takes place from June 7 to 11, 2000 is brought to you by the same team which has, for the last three years, organized the Media Lounge and the "New Media" section of the Montreal International Festival of New Cinema and New Media (FCMM). In the era of digital tools and new media, MUTEK's goal is to be an annual gathering showcasing emerging forms of electronic music and the latest trends in sound creation. Its mission is to be on the cutting edge of innovation and to provide an environment for discovery. With the international profile of its content, MUTEK promises to become a unique North American event not to be missed. This first edition programme centres around five evenings of intense musical and sound experimentation presented by a series of avant-garde artists from Europe, the United States, and Canada. Confirmed artists include: Thomas Brinkmann, Pole, Byetone, CoH, Vladislav Delay, Taylor Deupree, Carsten Nicolai (the most recent recipient of the Golden Nica, in the Digital Music section, Ars Electronica), Panacea, Sutekh, and [The User] (Best Canadian New Media Work, FCMM 1998). The first two evenings, June 7 and 8, will be held in the Fellini theatre at Ex-Centris (complex of cinema and new media). The last three, from June 9 to 11, will be held at Café Campus. These events will be webcast live on the Internet. Taking advantage of the fact that Saint-Laurent Boulevard will be alive with the rhythm of its summer sidewalk sales, MUTEK will also present a set of urban happy hours, in complement of its programme. MUTEK is a project conceived by the Foundation Image Light Motion & Sound (F.I.L.M.S.), a non-profit organization whose principal mandate is to develop special projects related to film and digital culture within the context of Ex-Centris. Ex-Centris is a dynamic environment dedicated to independant film and new media. Its objective is the development of cinema as well as of different means of artistic and cultural expression related to digital technology in Montreal. Advanced ticket sales: Ex-Centris, 3536 boul.

Inspired by the work initiated within the framework of the musical series ARCHITETTURA and supervised by Caipirinha's music division, established artists explore what harmony and synergy exist between electronic music and architecture. At first glance, these two art forms might appear incongruous, yet, in its own way, each offers an environment shaped by the human imagination. The ARCHITETTURA night presented by MUTEK will also include the Canadian premiere of four short films directed by Iara Lee within the framework of the ARCHITETTURA series. TAYLOR DEUPREE has scoured the different scenes and factions of electronic music for the last ten years. Best known for his work in ambient music, he has also demonstrated an interest in microscopic sounds and bringing together a number of other artists who share this interest, he has created the compilation "Microscopic Sound" for Caipirinha. PANACEA, a distinguished figure in hardcore-drum 'n bass, proves that he is a disciplined musician who yields comfortably to conceptual demands. For the ARCHITETTURA series, he has a created a work dedicated to the city of Brasilia and the architect Oscar Niemeyer. The exotic ambiance of this metropolis of aseptic and futuristic appeal is transposed into a rich and complex work, in which the marks of his generally strong-arm musical style remain present, if not slightly scaled down by the concern for its evocation. SOUND TRACK - Savvas Ysatis lives in Greece, where his reputation as a versatile musician is well established. His temporary residence in New York led to his encounter with Taylor Deupree, from which numerous projects arose since, such as "Tower of Winds," inspired by the architectural work of the same name in Yokohama by architect Toyo Ito. The result is a profound, ambient and experimental work, which keeps us thrilled with anticipation during its performance. Part one: A specialist of low-scale improvisation who enjoys working with the seduction and art of sound, ALEXANDRE ST-ONGE presents a finished high-scale performance at MUTEK. Influenced by both "concrete" and electroacoustic music, his pieces are based on the degradation of sound by actions operated on various objects of representation; the stratification of glitches, disturbances and parasite sounds where surprises abound. THURSDAY, JUNE 8 Ex-Centris - Fellini Theatre 9:00 p.m. RASTER-NOTON (Germany) Komet / live Noto / live Byetone / live COH / live Signal / live (Komet + Byetone + Noto) Part one: S8P ANTENNAS, TRANSMISSION (40 min.) By AE (Canada) This event headlines various conceptual artists from Berlin who, under the guise of RASTER-NOTON, explore the space that lies between electricity, electronic music, and the art and physiology of sound. Their work, strongly influenced by the visual arts, exploits the sculptural aspects of sound and often uses electricity as a primary material, drawing upon the elementary particles of sound - electric impulses and waves - in order to create complex musical structures. NOTO - Carsten Nicolai is a visual artist and German musician. His work takes on multiple forms - paintings, installations, performances and recordings - and has brought him to numerous exhibits around the world. His recent shows at the Guggenheim Museum in New York and at the Watari-Um Museum in Tokyo, as well as his recent acquisition of the acclaimed Golden Nica (prize Ars Electronica for the recording series 20' to 2000) make his appearance at MUTEK an event not to be missed. His musical work, minimal and meticulous, lingers on the microscopic errors generated by machines. The purity of his recordings, comparable to the works of Ryoji Ikeda (Dumb Type) or Richard Chartier, and their lyrical and humanist characteristics, announce a new era of contemporary minimalist music falling between post-techno and conceptual sound art. KOMET - Frank Bretschneider creates music, that relies on the experimentation and management of accidental sound instances. His perception of contemporary music is represented in the unorthodox coupling of synthetic modules, which emerge into expressive, thought minimalist, miniatures. BYETONE - Along with Carsten Nicolai, Olaf Bender is the co-founder of the label RASTER-NOTON and he is also its graphic artist. He has participated in a number of collective projects on this label, and is currently in the midst of a new record. COH - Ivan Pavlov lives in Sweden and works as a sound engineer. His musical work captures the active sounds that lie at the heart of seemingly static bodies. His latest project, "Vox Tinnitus," was completed in collaboration with the members of the British musical group Coil. Part one: S8P ANTENNAS, TRANSMISSION is an audiovisual performative essay about the life of visionnary inventor Nikola Tesla (1856-1943): electronics, electricity, electromagnetics, telecommunications. Æ is a research and communication unit based on an artistic and philosophical exchange between Montreal artists Gisèle Trudel and Stéphane Claude (who have worked creatively together for the past 9 years), with the regular participation of other collaborators. FRIDAY, JUNE 9 Café Campus 9:00 p.m. MILLE PLATEAUX - FORCE INC. Vladislav Delay / live (Finland) Sutekh / live (USA) Jake Mandell / live (USA) Safety Scissors / DJ (USA) This event is a presentation of various artists who subscribe to the tradition of sonic and musical exploration initiated by the German label MILLE PLATEAUX. Remaining within the confines of electronic and techno music, MILLE PLATEAUX have, for the last five years, been preoccupied with creating a research environment where new technologies are used to generate new musical configurations, with previously unheard tones, which rely on structures built or induced by new digital tools. MILLE PLATEAUX's influence has spread quickly, sprouting satellite labels such as FORCE INC and, more recently, Force Tracks and Ritornell. Their roster of artists, at first restricted and almost necessarily confined to Germany, has opened progressively to include musicians from more distant horizons who also subscribe to MILLE PLATEAUX's approach. The program presented by MUTEK will emphasize this diversity. VLADISLAV DELAY seems to navigate between two distinct geographical sound spaces: the coldness of the great wintry spaces of his native Finland and the encompassing warmth of Jamaica, land of Dub - a dub revisited by Germany's Chain Reaction, a label on which Vladislav Delay has already produced a record and a few 12". Vladislav Delay's music has been known to go above and beyond that of his influences. Though fragmented and based on a search for unused and thus anachronistic and ethereal, tones, his compositions, often long and intemporal seduce with their fluidity. Their placid organization brings the listener towards a certain goal, which is barely discernible at the beginning of the performance. JAKE MANDELL has composed more than 250 pieces in the last few years. Driven by his typically American, unremitting surroundings of Minneapolis, his work is very experimental, and relies on the duality between minimalist rhythmic structures and up-to-date computer programming. Despite the apparent formality of such a combination, it allows for music nevertheless enriched by diverse influences, particularly film music. SUTEKH is part of a new generation of prolific artists from California whose renown promises to grow ever larger. His compositions are based on the foundations of minimalist music and are true festive jewels in which purified Californian influences blend together with sound research and the mix of influences. SAFETY SCISSORS is a member of the new San Francisco scene. He has previously recorded on the Context label and has other works in progress, Force Tracks in particular. SATURDAY, JUNE 10 Café Campus 9:00 p.m. MINIMALISM / E (S) Thomas Brinkmann / live (Germany) Triple R / DJ (Germany) Tomas Jirku / live (Canada) Based on minimalist music and other experimentations this event is an exploration of the geometry of sound and rhythm. BRINKMANN and TRIPLE R (Riley) are two resident artists from Cologne. The temptation was strong to label tonight's evening "The Sound of Cologne," which would be the stereotype. It is true that for a few years, a certain number of Cologne's artists have carried out one another's exploration of the minimalist geometry of the sound and rhythm of electronic music - names like Mike Ink or labels like Profan and Kompakt spring immediately to mind. Although Brinkmann and Riley definitely contribute to the creative ecology of Cologne, but to relate their individual progress uniquely to a purely geographic phenomenon would not do justice to either of them. On his labels Max + Ernst (which translate into maximum + serious), Brinkmann explores the expressive realm of sonic architecture by way of the repetitive and calculated use of elementary particles of sound. At times conceptual (he comes from the field of visual arts) and pragmatic, he performs an in-depth explorations of the space that lies between the grooves of his records. Searching for an unsuspected dimension which could reclaim the interstitial spaces between the sounds; he has become known as a voluntary "remixer" of the minimal series Studio by Mike Ink and Concept by Richie Hawtin. He does not conceal his interest for the spiritual dimension of music and derives an abstract, yet expressive, affective quality from his mathematically rhythmic constructions. TRIPLE R belongs to a small group of DJ's responsible for the launch of the house and techno culture in Cologne in the late 80's. He has several records to his credit (among others, on the labels Disko B and Elektro Music Department), founded DEBUG magazine and, most recently, became heavily involved in the Cologne experimental music scene with the birth of his own label TRAUM, German for 'dream.' His collaboration with Brinkmann promises a rich and exalting evening. TOMAS JIRKU is a young programmer on the Toronto scene. If his music seems similar to the sounds emanating from the Berlin scene (Basic Channel and Chain Reaction), he possesses, nevertheless, his own version of dub's roots, a bewitching framework of atmospheric and search for sound. To his credit, he has a flourishing production: a CD, numerous pieces released on the Toronto site No Type, as well as a new CD on the Montreal label Alien8. There is no doubt that Tomas Jirku is a creator to watch. SUNDAY, JUNE 11 Petit Campus 9:00 p.m. DUB ~SCAPE (S) Pole / live (Germany) Kit Clayton / live (USA) Dakca / live (Canada) Algorithm / DJ (Canada) For its closing event, MUTEK celebrates the return of POLE to Montreal by presenting an evening of soundscapes in the colours of electronic dub. STEFAN BETKE enjoys an international career making remarkable use of the errors generated by imperfect machines. Using the pseudonym Pole, this sound engineer and producer of the ~Scape label, which represents renowned artists of contemporary dub, offers exhilarating compositions against an atmospheric background. Even if the creation depends on computer programming, the emphasis is placed on the errors nevertheless perpetrated by these machines. The resulting music is sensual, humanistic yet cerebral, containing accents of an archaic past (the basis of dub as well) while remaining profoundly contemporary. KIT CLAYTON is a sorcerer of the studio: the multiple facets of his work derives from the search of rhythm and hybridization in digital and analog sounds. Following Pole's influence, Kit Clayton is inspired by dub's recording methods and uses the past, better to influence the future. Likewise, he combines conventional modern recording techniques of acousmatic production with the possibilities generated by information technology. With several vinyls on various labels to his credit, he produces his peers' sound research for the labels Cytrax and Ornthorg. DAKCA, the duo of Mitchell Akiyama and Jean-Patrice Remillard, offers music within the confines of ambient minimalism and the search for rupture and deconstruction. Its substantially drawn-out performances are an invitation to immerse oneself in the gentle mixture of the worlds of analog and digital machinery. JEFF MILLIGAN hails from Toronto. To the quality of his work as a DJ, he brings a profound knowledge of sound engineering and a marked aversion to mercantilism and stagnation. The quality and style of his DJing and his enlightened choices of music have attracted the attention of talented German minimalists Monolake and Thomas Brinkmann, and have Milligan traveling more and more often in order to spread the magic, which emanates from his performances. HAPPY HOURS AT CAFE LAÏKA: JUNE 7 ORAL COLLECTIVE (Montreal) Akufen / live Herri Kopter / live HERRI KOPTER member of the Montreal Oral collective, is the alter ego of prolific musician Jérome Minière who is currently working on his third record of songs dubbed "apartment" songs. Listening only to his inner inspiration, Jérome produces small electronic wonders worthy of various contemporary German labels such as A-Muzik or Sonig (the experimental label of Mouse on Mars.) AFUKEN is the latest pseudonym of Montreal musician Marc Leclair (Reno Disco on the Haute-Couture label, Noiz Slack-R on Hybrid), who appears here in his most purified form. He explores the stimulating and surprising possibilities of a minimalism whose roots lie in the most evolved forms of techno. JUNE 8 LABEL: 12K (New York) Taylor Deupree + Richard Chartier / live Led by TAYLOR DEUPREE, the New York label 12K specializes in musical compositions characterized by their microscopic tones and hyper-synthetic textures. Deupree will present his work with RICHARD CHARTIER, artist, painter and ultra-minimalist composer who works with frequencies situated at both extremities of the sound spectrum, as well as in silence. JUNE 9 LABEL: HAUTEC (Montreal) Mateo + Pheek / live Deadbeat / live Martin / DJ Parent label of Haute Couture, Hautec is hoping to implicate itself in all facets of electronic music, from the simplicity of minimalism to the flamboyance of house. With the strength of their explorative artists behind them, Hautec is sure to meet its goal. DEADBEAT might only be 22, but his thirst for producing and his confidence in his own abilities make him a choice candidate for the Montreal label Hautec. His successes combine computer programming with the search for the physical and organic sources of sound. MATEO + PHEEK are two musicians who, since their first encounter in 1996, have worked together to define what lies behind the construction of spellbinding music. Their performances in numerous events (including Media Lounge) led them to sign with the Hautec label. JUNE 10 LABEL: CONTEXT (San Francisco) Safety Scissors / live Sutekh / DJ A California based record label, Context is a platform for music which presents the listener more musical questions than answers. While Context has strong roots in dance music, most notably techno, it explores uncomfortable areas where this definition makes no sense. With disregard to the name itself, Context is more interested in sonic expressionism and the structures that it might lead to rather than conceptualism superimposed on sound. JUNE 11 WIRE SOUND SYSTEM (UK) >From the world's most adventurous music magazine comes a DJ (ANNE HILDE NESET) spinning a mixed up selection of the leftfield musics that are regularly championned in The Wire. A typical Wire Sound System set flows through an eclectic selection of styles, from abstract electronic drift to minimal techno pulse, taking in free jazz, lock-groove turntablism, messy HipHop and queasy post-rock. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Subject: ?Word - A New Word for the Arts Date: Thu, 18 May 2000 15:23:47 -0500 From: Yvonne Force <force@artproductionfund.org> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MILTOS MANETAS PRESENTS: A NEW WORD FOR THE ARTS PROJECT: ?WORD ARTIST: Miltos Manetas PRODUCER: Yvonne Force for Art Production Fund (APF) CREATOR: Lexicon Branding SITE: Gagosian Gallery, 555 West 24th Street DATE: May 31, 2000, 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. Press conference 7:30 p.m. "Words have the power to change the way we see the world." Miltos Manetas In the entire history of art, only a few movements have been named by artists themselves. The Renaissance, the Baroque, Impressionism, even the terms modern and post-modern, were invented by critics or art historians. Contemporary artist Miltos Manetas' current project will create a word that attempts to be as effective as the word Cubism and as popular and absurd as Surrealism and Dada to describe the developments of technology-based artistic production. This desire to define such new media and cyber-influenced creativity led him, with the assistance of APF, to Lexicon Branding, a Sausalito, CA-based naming company, creators of such ubiquitous brands as PowerBook, Pentium, Metreon, WingspanBank and Subaru Outback. Together, they have invented a new word for the art world and greater global community. This WORD will enter the public domain via a press conference at Gagosian Gallery on May 31, 2000 in New York City. The conference will be a formal "happening" with statements from several speakers including: Miltos Manetas, Artist; JC Herz author of Joystick Nation: How Videogames Ate Our Quarters, Won Our Hearts, and Rewired Our Minds (Little Brown & Company, 1997), and columnist of New York Times Game Theory; Joseph Kosuth, Artist (will speak via video from his studio in Rome); Peter Lunenfeld, author of Snap to Grid: A User's Guide to Digital Arts, Media and Cultures (MIT Press, 2000), and a member of the graduate faculty at Art Center College of Design, Pasadena; David Placek, President of Lexicon Branding; Steven Pinker, author of Words and Rules: The Ingredients of Language, Professor of Psychology, Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, MIT, www-bcs.mit.edu/~steve/; and a Sony VAIO laptop computer. A webcast of the event will be produced by Jumpcut Inc., New York, www.jumpcut.com . Artist Miltos Manetas was born 1964 in Athens, Greece and currently lives and works in both New York and Los Angeles. He has exhibited throughout the United States and Europe and his work has been featured in numerous magazines including, Interview, Italian Vogue, I-D, Artforum, and the current issue of Sony Style. His work can be viewed online at www.manetas.com. Art Production Fund (APF), a nonprofit organization, collaborates as producer/curator with selected artists who propose ambitious artworks. APF endeavors to assist with projects that extend the physical, financial, or typical boundaries of art institutions. The intention is to incorporate pivotal artwork into diverse public arenas while simultaneously supporting the visions of contemporary artists. Upon completion, these projects are available for public viewing/use and APF strives to ensure that they are properly recognized. This includes temporary exhibitions, performances, publications, and public installations. APF was founded in January of 2000.

Our recommendation: Erwin Redl - truth is a moving target ========================================================= There is an excellent opportunity to start your own net.art collection with a work of Erwin Redl! Description: ------------- Titel:"truth is a moving target" Edition: 50/50 Collector`s Edition with one original print Technology Used - Shockwave The internet project 'Truth is a moving target' is a first attempt to work with text material I collected since 1994. These texts, which I simply labeled 'sentences', are thoughts I wanted to record - being afraid not to remember them later. The first sentence I wrote down was 'Truth is moving target'. The web piece always starts with the title, then the user decides by interacting with the mouse how the texts develop. Should the viewer prefer to be passive the program itself evolves over time employing strategic chance operations. The intertwining of active and passive participation, linearity and controlled randomness traces the flexible structure of meanings.

An obsessive portrait in pictures imposes a narrative where we 'visit' and 'look' and possibly find evidence that a book cannot be judged by its cover.

"Excavating The Archive: New Technologies of Memory" will bring together internationally-renowned computer scientists, designers, new media theorists and artists from the U.S., Europe and Australia, to explore this utopian proposition. Speakers will define the cutting edge in digital archiving, presenting new projects and advanced software prototypes for collection, navigation, visual representation and data mining of vast bodies of information, in diverse cultural and commercial contexts. Among the questions "Excavating The Archive" will investigate are: • what new interfaces are being created for archive storage and retrieval? • what kinds of new materials and subjects are being archived? • what are the technological limits of digital archiving? • what assumptions lie behind these digital storage techniques ? • what metaphors and mapping strategies are being applied to navigate and retrieve data?

Participating artists work with analog and digital video mixing, sound, media based and sculpture installation, net.art and live performance. Three performance spaces (in Norway, Canada and the Netherlands) are joined, the Internet is used as a platform for exchange. The performance space in Toronto is a social space and lab, designed to facilitate a two day dialogue between space, sound, image, live and tele-presence. It is divided into work/play stations with lounge "islands", placed in between. This allows the visitor to wander through these spaces, sit, relax and even be given the opportunity to participate in the event as a performer. Technical misunderstandings, and breakdowns will be handled by the emergency crew, easily identified by their cheerful orange vests and hats. First 50 people through the door each day get a free watch. Alternatively, mediated viewing and participation can be done from anywhere with an internet connection. Follow the homepage http://www.liveart.org for more details.

Netart is a kind of (electronic) art which uses the media internet as playground to the artists (alternative) points of view. So don't expect to find documentations on common art like "Picasso Scans Gallery" here ;-) --- Netart vs. Art on the Net --- The art market has discovered the net for the distribution of art. It uses the net to promote art just like ordinary companies. Gallerists, museums and other art brokers provide information about their artists, exhibitions and events. For them, the net is nothing more than a big telephone book in which they too want to (have to) be represented. ... For more please refer to : http://www.verybusy.org/art-icles/2000/05/whatisnetart.htm by Joachim Blank, 1996. --- HOW TO FIND NETART ? --- Since the artists' discover of using the web as creative playground, alot of so called "net.art" was released. But how to find net.art out of hundreds of links on common searchengines ? Searchengines can be divided in robots and editorial ones. The editorial ones like "yahoo" decide by human subjectivity what to show and what not to show, the robots like "altavista" are contextless and list everything, but the one you search on. In 1998 www.verybusy.org was founded to solve the problem and to set up a general interes portalsite for those people interessted in netart or mediaart. The Aim of verybusy.org is to set up a general entrancepoint (portal) for people who are interessted in netart projects on one hand and to start the work of archiving like a virtual museum on the other hand. Verybusy.org is ment as a "container" - a skeleton, which is being fulfilled and enhanced by the decentral input of the users that are focused on mediaart/netart. In opposite to other (media/net)Art or Cultureservers and commercial Searchengines, verybusy.org - center for hardwired arts takes a new way between refering to friends linklists and technological/context-missing architectures of common searchengines.
