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 a "Picasso Scans Gallery" here, but
a comprehessive database of 458 Media/Net/Art Projects.

As there exist alot of Linklists spread over hundreds of Netart Servers,
common searchengines cover anything too much or without any context,
academy of visual arts / Leipzig Germany started to build up a very
specialsearchengine especially for netart / mediaart and related material.

The Aim of www.verybusy.org is to set up a general entrancepoint (portal)
for people who are interessted in netart projects on one hand and to
startthe 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
focusedon 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. The
database content is not blown up by automatic searchrobots nor shrink by
the single objectivity of a editorial staff. The maxime of verybusy.org
isautonomity, as this ensure the maximum of objectivity on nowadays netart.
Beside the art database, the server underlines the autonomous usage by
theusers in many ways, such as collaborative titlecovers, filesharing,
discussion board and even the error messages (404 File not found) can be
customized by the vistitors.

THE DATABASE NEEDS YOUR 2 MINUTE JOB SUBMITTING YOUR PROJECTENTRIES TO
GROW. PLEASE CONTRIBUTE AND HELP TO BUILD UP THAT MAVELLOUS NETWORK. -=
 THANKS.

Tell your friends,
sincerely,
spiv. / www.verybusy.org admin staff
