MFreeZone:Renaissance 2001

RENAISSANCE 2001 is a project to create a global Internet Art Festival for the year 2001. Artists who believe that art can be a positive evolutionary force have started to build a worldwide network of LIGHTHOMES across the Internet. These pages will point to a future path for art in the new electronic era, and act as a forum in which RENAISSANCE 2001 will be developed. New members and collaborators in every country are sought. Go to http://www.gacoc.demon.co.uk/light.htm to find out more about this important new development.

RENAISSANCE 2001 is the first art project to take account of the fact that the Internet is the most powerful and dynamic step forward in human communications since the invention of the printing press. The artists involved in it are creating a new kind of Arts Community where cultural and geographical distance are dissolved and rendered meaningless. The implications of this for the established critical, academic and economic structures of the art world will be shattering.

Renaissance 2001 comes in many different flavors. It is artistically, culturally and ethnically diverse. Our aim is not to present a single point of view. The future will not be like that. It will be like the Internet, full of unexpected variation.
