You are invited to contribute to an art installation

As part of the 9th International Symposium of Electronic Art,
International Artist Franz Otto Novotny is asking you to fax your ideas
to a fax installation based on six themes. There will be six fax
machines each of which will correspond to a particular theme. Your
visual response and your interpretation of these themes would be very
much appreciated. Please send as many faxes as you wish.

The lines will be active all day and night from 9am on the 2nd of
September to 11pm on the 7th of September. We will be continually
receiving faxes from all over the world so you may find the lines
occasionally engaged. If this is the case please keep trying at
different times. You might even consider sending a number of faxes on
different days and nights. At periodic intervals photographs will be
taken of the installation and will be posted on this web page so that
you can get an impression of how it is all working out. Franz plans to
respond to as many of the contributors as possible so please include
your details on the faxes you send. Include your name, fax number and
email if you have one. At the end of the installation all the faxes
received will be collected into a catalogue and made available for you
to review on the internet. A printed catalogue will also be produced.
Note: To see the fax numbers and the corresponding themes please click
on "Fax Numbers" on the menu.
