PROPOSAL FOR A GLOBAL ART INITIATIVE: Building bridges across artistic, geographic, cultural and political divides. The goal is to facilitate artistic collaboration and creation through innovative and groundbreaking use of the internet and digital technologies and in the process build bridges across artistic, geographic, cultural and political divides. A Global Online Arts Collaborative: We will apply the social networking technology of the kind used by such internet sites as myspace and facebook to create a 24/7 global online collaborative community of select, motivated, and international artists from various disciplines and expertise. We will create an online space where members of the collaborative can interact with each other via text, voice and video-/teleconferencing, in discussion groups, forums and the like, and share their work using cutting edge technology.
