A Virtual Memorial is an award winning networked media art project environment created and curated by Agricola de Cologne for the Internet as an ideal pleace for dealing dynamically with memory. A Virtual Memorial is not just a memorial guide through the year including monthly changing features connected to a selection of particiular memorial days of national or international relevance, but basically also framework for a couple of participatory and collaborative memorial projects like Memorial for the Victims of Terror - http://terror.a-virtual-memorial.org Memorial for the Victims of AIDS - http://aids.a-virtual-memorial.org TSUNAMI Memorial -http://tsunami.a-virtual-memorial.org and others, but then also Violence Online, a project environment in form of an online festival focussed on the phenomenon of violence and war, a project which was active between 2002 and 2004 and presented on many festival and media art exhibitions, and last, but not least also starting point and home of the legendary [R][R][F]200X --->XP project environment http://rrf2006.newmediafest.org, a new media art project project dealing with "memory & identity" & hosting numerous artists projects curated by invited curators, VideoChannel - http://videochannel.newmediafest.org is hosting the famous video collection, and SoundLAB Channel , is an online environment focussed on soundart http://soundlab.newmediafest.org, incorporating also Agricola de Cologne's award winning "Family Portrait" - http://familyportrait.engad.org and Women: Memory of Repression in Argentina http://argentina.engad.org. As the first of Agricola de Cologne's Internet based projects starting in 2000, A Virtual Memorial was until these days the inspiration for many artists and encouraged them to work artistically with the subject of "memory", many of such works are a precious and integral part of A Virtual Memorial. A Virtual Memorial follows the idea of an ongoing and dynamic art project which has its basis not only online on the net, but also offline manifested in numerous temporaryly limited installations in physical space. The project is not just referring to the Past, but is basically reacting on most recent events and social, cultural and politcial phenomena, and the rapid technological development.
