Conclusion

Milverton Wallace summarized the most inportant things from the speaches during the two days.
Now in the information age the computer has an important part of our life. We spend a lot of time, searching on the Net. Even knowing the disadvantages, we sit there for hours.
Immediately when you connect to the internet, it is talking to you. Listen, write, be part of it!

Blogging as a Journalistic Tool

... by Jak Boumans, the very famous blogger from Netherlands.

"Communication is more than an exchange of messages. It is also the ability to listen to and understand the sender of the message. No message makes any sense in itself, but the sense comes only within a context, a cultural identity within which the message can be understood." Dominique Wolton

Do you know where the 'BLOG' came from?
Once upon a time... :)
First it was a ship-log, than it became weblog and it's shorter form is the thing we just write.
It is little bit like journalism, but without many rules -you can write about anything for anybody, anyhow.
You can find different kinds of it, by categories, photo blogs, shock blogs, mikro blogs, etc.
Nowadays blogging is part of the culture.

Narrowing the Gap between the Private and Professional Publishing on the Net

... by Péter J. Soós.
He is a teacher at Kodolanyi and also the director of a marketing company.
The gap between the private and professional on-line publishing has been narrowed in the last few years.
Computer age changing the world by two numbers 0 & 1.
There are a lot of new arts: "fan fiction", .pps fantasy, own news service, blogs, photoShop-world. People can make their own reality, create a world for themselves and also for everyone. You can visite these pages, but you never sure about the real creator!
The biggest money is in the business online. The meeting point of business and private creativity. Even in YouTube the companies can check the viewers profiles and get all the information.
There are some open questions: -copyrights change the world?
-no author, no risk, no responsibility?!
-easy to hurt the personal rights?!

Comment:
Once something appeares on the net, it will never vanish.
It is so good to have the new, free internet world, but it has advantages and disadvantages too -like everything.

Dinner with wine tasting

At night the group were in a beutiful place at the hills of lake Balaton. We visited a famous wine cellar, where we tasted 6 type of wines and ate original hungarian food: sausage, cheeses, and the best dessert from our grandma's kitchen, 'rétes' :)
About every glass of wine we heard a speach -how they made that wine.
After a while the athmosphere became cheery...

Models of Preservation for Net Art in Museums

... by Anne Laforet.
She is currently writing her PhD thesis at the University of Avignon (France). Her research is focused on Internet-specific artworks and the way museum institutions approach, collect and preserve them.
Artists have appropriated the Internet as soon as it became public to experiment new artistic. The museums have to reconsider the way they commission, exhibit, collect and preserve artworks, as they already did with other forms of ephemeral or process-based art. Archeological museums should be solution for net art preservation.
By combining museum and archival approaches, it is possible to keep traces of the net-based artworks' context by taking into account interrelations within a dynamic environment. Net archiving tools allow to follow very closely how an art work evolves, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the capture of works are functioning similarly to the works themselves.
