PRELIMINARY LIST OF ACTIVITIES there are three basic types of activities: national/regional register, information center and non-institutional partner 1. national/regional register this can be part of the activity of an art organisation, active in the field of media art this is a national/regional register that co-ordinates all the activities of [ear] on the given territory (one or more countries) as promotion, collection of information, co-ordination of the editorial of the database information on the national language(s) of the country/territory, etc. it is strongly recommended that the national register maintains its own web space where to provide regional specific information in the national language(s) of the country/territory. this activity depends on the concrete infrastructure of the country. the national register should have long term interests in the area and its own resources or the ability to raise funds 2. information center this can be part of the activity for each organisation in the field of the media art. the center can perform each of the activities of the national register, without the need to perform all of them. role of information center can play unlimited number of organisations on given territory. the informational center does not need to declare long term commitment, but should provide stable partnership for every period or project in which the center has certain role. the information center should have its own resources or the ability to raise funds or at least participate of fundraising lead by [ear] 3 non-institutional partner this is a professional in the area of the art who is not part of an institution, or is part of an institution that is not and is not interested in becoming an [ear] partner. non-institutional partner can perform all activities related to one's experience and professional abilities as consultancy, research, critics, translation etc. non-institutional partners can participate also as supporters of different national/regional institutions or other non-institutional partners, and to form more or less stable partnerships for accomplishing different projects in the area of [ear]. the non-institutional partner is not required to have its own base and resources and in the general case they s/he will be supported by the own [ear] funds, or by the funds of the institutional partners s/he works for, when available. however in the general case s/he should have access to basic equipment and technology as computer, e-mail connection etc. as there will be no support for such.
