***********
ZKM | Center for Art and Media

The ZKM in Karlsruhe, Germany is a unique new cultural foundation.
Symbolizing the transition into the multimedia era, it is the world's first
institution dedicated purely to art in relation to the new media, and is
organized along unusual lines, which gather under one roof the fields of
research, development, collection and presentation. To artists-in-residence
from all round the world, ZKM offers a platform for critical and creative
confrontation with the technological revolution. To the public, ZKM offers
an opportunity to share in this process, to play and experiment with
unprecedented possibilities.

Jodi.org Web artists Joan Heemskerk and Dirk Paesmans who are visiting from
