1. Internal issue
---------------------------------------------
netEX - networked experience
http://netex.nmartproject.net or
represents the service platform of
[NewMediaArtProjectNetwork]:||cologne
www.nmartproject.net

Recently the netEX contents moved partially to a newly designed site
causing that many people were redirected from the old netEX contents to the new one,
and, most important!, many links are not longer valid any longer or need to be updated.
The old site is archived now under http://weblog.nmartproject.net

While the contents was moved, also dead links were placed on the new site.
Many excuses for all inconveniance while accessing netEX.
----------------------------------------------
2. Activities apil-may

a)
In April, a big issue in the restructuration phase has been completed, i.e.
AND - Artists Network Directory - http://and.nmartproject.net
This directory manages the biographies of artists participating in the projects
of [NewMediaArtProjectNetwork]:||cologne

All the posted biographies are based on those authorized information the artists submitted once,
and are therefore partially not on the latest stand and need to be updated.

SoundLAB -
sonic art project environments
http://soundlab.newmediafest.org
is currently preparing its fifth edition looking for new soundart works

In 2004, SoundLAB was launched as a corporate part of the global networking project
[R][R][F]200x--->XP - http://rrf200x.newmediafest.org
on occasion of BEAP - Electronic Art Festival Perth/Australia 2004,
but started soon also individually acting as an environment for sonic art.

Edition IV was launched in October 2006
under the title "memoryscapes" incorporating 144 artists and 235 soundart pieces
dealing with "memory and identity" in most different ways,
and it became corporate part of the media art show
://selfportrait - a show for Bethlehem - a show for Peace
http://self.engad.org. - which is currently running at
MACRO - Museo de Arte Contemporaneo Rosario/Argentina
http://www.marcromuseo.org.ar
.
Edition V stands under the theme: --> "soundSTORY"
exploring "sound" as a tool for storytelling.
Therefore besides the soundart piece itself,
the story this piece is telling has a particular relevance.

SoundLAB is inviting soundartists, musicians and composers
to submit such a soundart narrative.

Please find all entry details and the submission form on
http://www.nmartproject.net/netex/?p$

JavaMuseum - Forum for Internet Technology in Contemporary Art
http://www.javamuseum.org
is starting its 2nd phase
by releasing an open call focussing on the question
whether blogs and/or blogging can be tools for creating a new type of net based art.
The launch of this new project in September 2007
is planned to be also the occasion for re-launching
JavaMuseum after a phase of re-structuring since 2005.
.
JavaMuseum - Forum for Internet Technology in Contemporary Art,
founded in 2000, realized during the 1st phase (2001-2005)
18 show cases focussing on Internet based art in a global context,
including more than 350 artists from 40 countries.
In this way, JavaMuseum was able to show for the first time the dimension of Internet based art
as a new and individual art genre, even if it is continously said to be dead.
.
For a + b = ba?, JavaMuseum is inviting
artists to submit such an art project in form of a blog.

The entry details, regulations and entry form can be found on
