http://www.cyborgfestival.com/ I have been following the development of this event through the eyes of one of it's organizers, Roberto Aracal, on the http://www.well.com It has been heartening to see an intersection of art and the Internet as one form of response to the political chaos that Venezuela has been facing. I also found it interesting but totally sensible that there was a category for online community. I encourage you to pass the information along. Here is the event information from the organizers: The III International Arts Festival of the City of Valencia, Venezuela, sponsored by the Fundacion para La Cultura and the Mayors Office and Fundación Solaris, a private non-profit organization dedicated to the arts, is an event whose goals, since inception, have been to show recognized as well as emerging forms of artistic expression in the Citys public spaces. The Festival encourages works that span gender, linguistic and disciplinary backgrounds. This years Festival is guided by the same premise, and offers a new, electronic arts festival to promote and celebrate the use of information technologies as a new form of artistic expression. The purpose of the First Cyborg Festival is to stimulate emerging talent working in cyberspace. This event transcends conventional art boundaries, linking people and communities who create special encounters that help us to understand and enhance our life experiences in the twenty-first century. It will open its doors to creative minds who have made digital technology an essential tool for communal living; it will be a place for diversity and freedom of expression.
