Projects

During 2000 and 2001, A Virtual Memorial was particularly active, as Agricola de Cologne prepared a memorial guide through the year, featuring selected memorial days, related monthly themes including articles and new multi-media works. The idea of creating collaborative, participatory and curated projects started in the phase of developing each month projects of general relevance. Agricola de Cologne created most of his smaller individual netart works for the context of these monthly features, as well as a number of curated projects, which became the basis of the later following curatorial projects of gigantic dimensions:

Here are some examples of individual art works, which all were presented individually on numerous festivals or were included in media art exhibitions—>
