Old structural barriers have been transgressed on the cultural scene, due to the digital economy and the new media strategies. New creative models of collaboration emerge between institutions preserving cultural heritage, performing arts creating new expressions, and information technology providing tools of communication.

The interface between Cultural Heritage, Netart and State of the Art Projects is new. It is both innovative, challenging and a critical vehicle for issues concerning collaboration, communication and dissemination strategies in modern societies.

CULT 2001 wishes to establish a platform for discussions and reflections on these new visions of collaboration and dissemination strategies.

::. Mr. Howard Rheingold, Author of 'The Virtual Community', USA
::. Mr. Bruce Royan, Executive Director of SCRAN, UK
