netzspannung.org
netzspannung.org, the Internet platform of the CAT project, will be online from September 2001. Conceived as a media laboratory on the Internet, netzspannung.org combines artistic production and inter-media research into a collaborative knowledge space. |

CAT - Communication,
Art and Technology
The CAT study carried out by the MARS-Exploratory Media Lab in 1998 researched the requirement that a competence centre for art, culture and new media must satisfy. The experts interviewed felt that the project should be decentralised, community-based and inter-disciplinary. Starting from this point, the CAT project is developing the netzspannung.org platform. |

The Mediators'
Struggle for »Intellectual Property«
The Distributors are relying on technical blocking mechanisms to prevent digital work being copied at will. The question of copyright thus becomes a question of »access rights«. netzspannung.org spoke to lawyers Herbert Burkert and Thomas Hoeren. |

Distributed System
Architectures for Networked Communities
»File sharing«, »cycle stealing«, »virtual communities« and »collective intelligence« - all these concepts involve the shared use of available computer resources or human resources. Distributed systems form the technical infrastructure. Bernd Freisleben explains various models. |

The Art of
Selectiveness
The »Digital Dive« (DEAF 2000) workshop discussed various concepts for organising archives on the network. User orientation and community-based processes are gaining ground over pre-defined structures. |

An Archive on Media
Change
Vilém Flussers texts appear as modules which he continually recombined and set in different media and social contexts. The Flusser Archive Research Centre at the Academy of Media Arts in Cologne is to create a network structure which will support research as a process of connective actions. |

Art Context
Internet
Specific exhibition concepts are being developed by artists and curators for presenting art on the Net. By adapting IT structures such as community models, environments for discursive forms of cultural practice are being generated. |
|
Experimental Media
Spaces // Mixing Realities
Mixed reality describes a concept which combines actions on a media level with activities in real space. Here, the virtual space is regarded not as a parallel surrogate world but as an integral part of the living world. Experimental media spaces test out different mixed reality strategies. |

The Code as an
Artistic Material
Since the beginning of the year, Codelab has been "in residence" in Podewil. The lab is managed by the programmer and artist Ulrike Gabriele. Its primary focus is on code as an artistic material. |
|
Awareness - for
Perceiving Electronic and Public Spaces
Awareness describes a means of perception in the networked space which is successively spreading to more and more areas of life. In an interview, the media artists Monika Fleischmann and Wolfgang Strauss and the IT specialist Wolfgang Prinz explore different models of awareness. |
