CALL FOR ENTRIES COMMUNICATING CULTURE WITH DIGITAL
MEDIA
============================================================
Digital media make it possible to use virtual technology to
reconstruct buildings that have long since disappeared,
design and explore digital knowledge spaces using
innovative interfaces, integrate remote or digital rooms in
museums and exhibitions and develop new play-based,
interactive communication strategies.
netzspannung.org, the Internet platform for digital art and
culture, is planning to show examples of these different
approaches. The aim is to provide an overview of the
different strategies, from purely digital spaces (Internet,
VR, CD-ROM, DVD) through to AR and mixed-reality scenarios
and media concepts that are based in or take a subordinate
role to physical space.
This overview should show:
> how digital media are used to communicate cultural
heritage
> what new possibilities are being developed with digital
media in order to present cultural artefacts in a
media-based way
> how digital technologies complement the work of the
curator.
netzspannung.org is an online archive for digital art and
culture that presents current media-art, media-design and
IT-research projects. [For further information see

This "Call for Entries" should ensure that the picture that
emerges is as wide-ranging as possible and that project
that are only just in the process of being created are
also included.
