Dear Friends, Thanks to a colleague's notice of access difficulties, we are sending you a working link. We apologize for the inconvenience. --- The research project DATABASE OF VIRTUAL ART at Humboldt University has recently created a video documentary series of contemporary media artists like Maurice Benayoun, Jeffrey Shaw, Jean-Michel Bruyère, Luc Courchesne, Masaki Fujihata, Lev Manovich and Zoe Beloff... These videos, representing a small portion of the complex database - going public this summer - are now already available through the ARTE website.
