Dani is absolutely right - Spain is not aware of these types of initiatives
and the Spanish academic community doesn't consider digital media seriously
as a research tool. Even when Saatchi foundation might not be as democratic
as it wants to appear, the initiative has captured the Spanish media
imagination presenting it as the YouTube of the art. What do we need in
Spain? Capture the imagination of the research community I supposse....-

Well, the fact is that many people out of UK not to know the British
scene and only perceive a great initiative in this site. I am interested
in analyse a wide range of representation ways in cyberspace. And the
field of the arts is a special one. So, it would be great if others in
this list could contribute with some links on this topic :-)
Cheers,
Dani
