ArtAIDS Link

As part of the LiveWire show we have included some work from - and a link to - the ArtAIDS LINK internet project. This Web site, set up to commemorate and celebrate the fight against aids, is one of the most innovative examples of how artists are using the Net in a collaborative way. Open to all digital artists, the site originated as a collection of 20 commisioned images which are intended stimulate a responce for other artists to either produce new work or download and rework existing images to be uploaded back into the ArtAIDS project. The result is a rich, ever-evolving site of images, succesfully bridging the phyical gap between remote users to create a valuable and shared tapestraly of interlinked images aimed at raising awareness and funding for AIDS research.
