TSUNAMI Memorial
A Virtual Memorial
Memorial project against the Forgetting and for Humanity
www.a-virtual-memorial.org <http://www.a-virtual-memorial.org>
is proud to launch on 5 April 2005
the net based memorial environment
"Tsunami Memorial"
<http://tsunami.a-virtual-memorial.org>
a collaborative art project
dedicated in solidarity to the victims
of the Tsunami disaster from December 2004

This solidarity is a valuable contribution

The Memorial is a place -
open and intimate simultaneously -
where people can commemorate the disaster and its dimensions
and take some time in order to reflect for a while.
The artists participating in this memorial environment -
created by Agricola de Cologne -
reflect the disaster directly or take it as a symbol
for the inevitable, the overwhelming power of nature over human civilization.
"Tsunami Memorial" extends the series of memorial environments on
A Virtual Memorial
www.a-virtual-memorial.org <http://www.a-virtual-memorial.org>
which started on occasion of 11 September attack in 2001 with

EXTASY - the final show of JavaMuseum
JavaMuseum
Forum for Internet Technology in Contemporary Art
www.javamuseum.org <http://www.javamuseum.org>
is happy to launch on 5 April
.
"EXTASY - the final show"
EXTASY is the 18th showcase in the frame-work of
JavaMuseum's project environment, entitled "the 1st phase",
organized during the years 2001-2005.
By spotlighting net based art ("netart") in a global context
a unique collection of netart from the years 2000-2004 developed.
In 2004, JavaMuseum decided to stop these kind of activities,
also a series of global competitions and collaborations
with internation festivals belong to that.
The reasons are various, but one of the main reasons
is and was the desolate situation of "netart"
and the descreasing artistic production and quality.
But the end of these activities,
means in fact only the start of a new, the "2nd phase",
which will be starting already soon.
The archivation of the 18 showcases belongs to that.
EXTASY - the showcase- represents a kind of final rear
by presenting 41 art works from the years 2003 and 2004
by 41 artists. Find more conceptional details on
