Virtual Communities - New Media Art
- Many Virtual Communities, online environments, or collaborative hubs have been formed by people with a common interest in New Media Art. As new media art depends on the union between art and technology, these online environments can act as a neutral meeting place for people from both faculties of thought.
Sites of Interest
- ANAT (The Australian Network for Art and Technology): This online community aims to connect people within the fields of art, culture, science and technology. The site contains an events directory, a list of funding bodies and the option to sign up to eLists (email subscription lists). An archive of artwork is also hosted on this site.
