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
whether they died or survived.

This solidarity is a valuable contribution
not in a material, but immaterial and spiritual sense.

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

followed by
"Memorial for the Victims of AIDS"

and
