• Chech Art Online
  Starting in July 1996, the Soros Center for Contermporary Arts-Prague introduces a WWW-list mapping the contemporary art scene in the Czech Republic. This site wants to serve as a starting point for looking up Czech art institutions, projects, individual artists. Since most of the museums and galleries in CZ do not have their own Internet access yet, this site wants to be a mediator of information rather than just a listing of further links.

• INTIMA - 0.HTML
  SINGLE, structurally equal to ALL and endless in the microstructure is showing the totality and breakness of INTIMA in her mirror image. ONE, split into TWO is compatible with the life of INTIMA. The magic structure of ONE and the obsession with the individuality inspires the ritual beauty of polarity which is shown on the altar of art. The Story about INTIMA is presented by a mathematical microstructure.
  
  The circle is drawn and in the circle there is a whole world.
  
  There is a world of the COSMOS and a world of the ATOM, but INTIMA is the zone of their co-existence.

• SYNERGY: Hygrid
  The basic idea of HyGrid is similar to other SYNERGY GRID projects in that we're working from squares and blending images from square to square. This process has been nearly fully automated by CGI scripts that recognise your SYNERGY ID, filenames, pattern configuration and all that jazz. The big difference with HyGrid, is that it's sort of "hyperdimensional".

  Digital telecommunication towards hypermedia and the global connectivity of the infosphere provokes an interdisciplinary intermediation of art and science on the basis of a society that is determined through new technologies. The data-matrix as a model of a culture that is based on electronic information-technology demands a new understanding of art and space of maneuver for the forthcoming models of art production.

• KHM - Academy of Media Arts, Cologne
  The name, "Academy of Media Arts" itself expresses the entire spectrum of interests supported by teaching and research at this institution, namely art in the age of its technological (re)production. The process of formulating and developing the interaction between artistic imagination, theoretical and historical knowledge and individual expression by means of new media places high demands on students as well as on the academic staff of the Academy. Both are working together to create a small utopia which involves bringing together and integrating those processes and interrelated interests in academic practice that continuously threaten to drift apart in everyday professional practice. An essential element of this process is also the joint development of a media/cultural identity, one conscious of its own social, political, aesthetic and ethical obligations. Today's media are social institutions.

• NSK - Online at Gates of Heck
  NSK, or Neue Slowenische Kunst is an art movement formed in the mid-1980s in Slovenia, in the country then known as Yugoslavia. The music group, known as Laibach (after the forbidden German name of the capital city Ljublana) became notorious for their military-style costumes and performances which made use of totalitarian imagery recalling the aesthetics of both the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. NSK is also made up the painting group, Irwin, the theater group Red Pilot (now NOORDUNG), as well as the Departments of Philosophy and Architecture. This collective aesthetic movement was dubbed "retro-gardism".
  Since the disintegration of Yuogslavia and the independence of Slovenia, NSK has formed an independent artists' "State in Time", with embassy projects in Moscow, Gent, Venice and Peking. Gates of Heck has been named Honorary Consul to NSK in the United States, and issues NSK passports to all desiring citizens.

Two museums are being set up at the ZKM. In October 1997, the ZKM | Museum of Contemporary Art will open its doors to the public as a "museum of all genres". The ZKM | Media Museum, which is dedicated to exploring and showing ways people can use the rapidly evolving digital technologies, will be inaugurated in the same month. The " Salon Digital", an electronic café, is in preparation.
  The ZKM | Mediathek is a media library that collects and documents video art as well as contemporary music and literature on media art. The interested public will enjoy access to these "citizens' media" from 1997 onward.

• Färgfabriken homepage for folows anything
  The foundation was formed in March 1995. The founders are the Swedish Association of Architects (SAR), Alcro­Beckers AB (one of the biggest paint manufacturors in Northern Europe) and Colart Sweden AB (manufacturors of artists´ materials). Activities and exhibitions take place in the Palmcrantzka Factory, a factory building from 1889, in one of Stockholm´s oldest industrial areas. In the beginning of the nineties the old paintfactory restorations were begun. Alcro­Beckers AB got in touch with SAR in order to get proposals of what to do with the restored building. SAR and the director­to­be of Fäbriken, Jan Åman, proposed to create a centre for contempoary art and architecture. The foundation was then formed.

• RHIZOME: THE NEW MEDIA ART RESOURCE
  The basic purpose of the program is to enable the collaboration between European artists on projects and the creation of closer connections among European media organizations. The current unification trends in Europe brought on by the collapse of the East Block have created new tasks to be overcome as well as the creation of new cooperation and exchange opportunities. There exists within this period of change the challenge to become more »European«, meaning more homogenous, while at the same time desiring to define what constitutes national and regional identity in order to retrieve a sense of lost traditional culture and how these may work to enhance one another rather than divide. EMARE offers the opportunity to work within these bounds as defined by the individual artists, allowing them to develop their own projects within a new context, and then reciprocating the gesture towards the host organisation.

• Blast - X A r t F o u n d a t i o n
  Blast operates as a mobile catalyst, developing a network of relationships with other organizations, in order to accomplish highly specific tasks. It operates as an agent of activity, a kind of marker or brand. We refer to the new program as "Blast agencies."//
  Our intent is to focus attention on critical issues pertaining to cultural practice in the network. By "network" we do not mean solely the Internet, but a proliferating complex of global communications increasingly tied into one another. We try to balance investigations of specific regions of net space (financial networks, the web, social realms such as the MOO, and so on) with an emphasis on the intersections and coordinations of on- and offline spaces -- particularly in terms of the organizational protocols and imperatives through which these spaces are synchronized, crossformatted, and brought "in line" with one another. While our emphasis is in the field of representation, we seek to understand how representations and built realities affect and constitute one another: how, on the one hand, the image-field is urbanized, and on the other, the urban configures as a network of inhabitable images. // ...
