Hello everybody at the FLUXlist.
If you're interessted in media / net / art or generelly in actual forms
of contemporary electronic art let me introduce the
search database
www.verybusy.org
which is actual covering over 500 netart Projects, tons of ezines, mediaart institutions and festivals ....
Netart is a kind of (electronic) art which uses the media internet as playground to the artists (alternative) points of view. So don't expect to find documentations on common art like "Picasso Scans Gallery" here ;-)
The Aim of verybusy.org is to set up a general entrancepoint (portal) for people who are interessted in netart projects on one hand and to start the work of archiving like a virtual museum on the other hand.
Verybusy.org is ment as a "container" - a skeleton, which is being fulfilled and enhanced by the decentral input of the users that are focused on mediaart/netart. In opposite to other (media/net)Art or Cultureservers and commercial Searchengines, verybusy.org - center for hardwired arts takes a new way between refering to friends linklists and technological/context-missing architectures of common searchengines. The database content is not blown up by automatic searchrobots nor shrink by the single objectivity of a editorial staff. The maxime of verybusy.org is autonomity, as this ensure the maximum of objectivity on nowadays netart. Beside the art database, the server underlines the autonomous usage by the users in many ways, such as collaborative titlecovers, filesharing, discussion board and even the error messages (404 File not found) can be customized by the vistitors.
We invite all artists, curators, theorecticans .... to contribute to this fine project as this is the worlds first and still the one and only database for netart specific collections. Please submit your artists work at: www.verybusy.org/add_remote.htm and tell your friends !
If you want to use the full functionality of the verybusy.org database directly from within you server, simply put this source to your website:
