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.
If you would like to travel around the new
R2001 webring, and see how
you could become part of this exciting project, go to

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.
