Fellow Colleagues and Friends,

The research project DATABASE OF VIRTUAL ART at Humboldt University has
recently created a video documentary series of contemporary media artists
like Maurice Benayoun, Jeffrey Shaw, Jean-Michel Bruyere, Luc Courchesne,
Masaki Fujihata, Lev Manovich and Zoe Beloff… These videos, representing
a small portion of the complex database - going public this summer - are
now already available through the ARTE website.

Samples from our work can be found:
