It is
an ongoing New Media art project created mainly in Flash and is installed
in n Internet by media artist Agricola de Cologne since 01.01.2000.
Central
subject represent existential questions of human existence connected to
"Remembering-Repressing-Forgetting". I t is an ongoing work in progress
with a variety of aims. One purpose is to keep vivid memories of global,
local or personal relevance such as Holocaust, genocide, expulsion,
persecution, catastrophes like AIDS, perspectives on the future as
genetics, misuse of power or behavior and subjective experiences of
individuals from all parts of our globe. It is an interactive project on
different levels, uses the Internet according to its own rules not only as
a location or public space but also as a resource in different concerns,
and represents as a whole a symbol for collective memory.
The
project follows the rules of the Internet and is continuously changing.
Each month a new project version is published: with new additions, changes
in perception, technology and design. The project reflects both physical
and virtual world in different ways. A virtual sculpture is developing
from collective memory and expanding like the Universe since the big bang.
