September 2020
is a difficult month – during the past decades the September events had fundamental influence on Wilfred’s course of life. 12 September 1998 – in Wilfried’s life that big break, at all – the terror attack on his project ” A Living Memorial” destroying the ambitious project dealing with a new approach to commemorate the “Holocaust” via art – initiating amany weeks lasting dying process culmulating some weeks later in a coma, lasting many months.
Therefore the The 9/11 terror attacks in New York & Washington had a shocking impact on Wilfried, who returned in summer 1999 to life and started on 1 January 2000 a new artistic carreer. In August 2001, Wilfried had just finished a trauma therapy, and just a few days later, Wilfried was watching television when he became witness of the terror in New York, changing radically from one second to another everything profoundly – he got incredibly high fever, which did not want to decrease for hours and days and Wlast ilfried was about to fall again into a coma which however would have killed him definitely this time. He was already on the way to the emergency of a hospital nearby, Wilfried’s partner holding Wilfried’s hands as if these were Wilfried’s moments alive, when Wilfried opened his eyes begging him to return home he wouldn’t die. But it took many weeks to return to a normal level of life.1 September 2004 was a day changing Wilfried’s professional course of life,
when BEAP – Biennale of Electronic Art was starting in Perth/Australia. The event got a particular relevance because Wilfried dared to make the 1st long distance travel after the coma, because the concept of Wilfried’s RRF Project – to be installed in Perth in a special version – was acepted, the way how his project was appreciated in this event, motivating Wilfried to use 
The RRF Project for deciding a completely new course of professional activities. So, Wilfried’s participation in BEAP can be considered a one essential milestone. One of the new directions initiated in Perth was the focus on “art & moving images” and the foundation of CologneOFF in 2005. Within these festival activities the 7th festival edition CologneOFF VII – Art & The City, launched in 2011 and part of NewMediaFest2020 ‘9, is representing a milestone within the curatorial activities, because it was combined with CologneOFF 2011 – video art in a global context – a extensive event series taking place during 2011 and 2012 – including 65 venues on all continents. 2011 was that year when Wilfried was making the most travels attending many of the events, he was organising in collaboration with his networking partners. So, this festival edition is honouring not only this ambitious curatorial efforts, but also all involved curators, cultural institutions and artists. CologneOFF 2011 was showing Wilfried’s potential to be not only an artist and curator, but also a mediator with global visions, however the quantity of these activities were bringing Wilfried to his physical limits – also because in 2010, Wilfried returned to that topic which was touching him most – to deal with new forms of commemorationg via the artistic use of new media. While “A Virtuial Memorial Riga 2012”, featured in past June, was a milestone in this particular field. On 23 September 2013, still exhausted from the travel and event marathon 2011 & 2012, Wilfried opened the next highlight in Lithuania – “A Virtual Memorial Vilnius 2013 – a most complex project realisation and collaboration with Jewish partners in Vilnius – bringing Wilfried to his physical limits in a way, that he had to decide – to discontinue such comprehensive emotional stress. Wilfried had demonstrated – what his visions are looking like, but it became obvious, that he was not in the physical condition to continue the realisation of his networking visions on a physical level.
In September 2001 still recovering from the 9/11 attacks, Wilfried realised on “Le Musee divisioniste” – the predessessor of The New Museum of Networked Art – edition one of a series of featured artists, starting with one of his favourite netartists at that time and today –STANZA – Netartist of the Month September 2020. So, there were good reasons to wait until the September edition of NewMediaFest2020 for featuring his net based work again.
In September 2009, Wilfried launched CologneOFF V, including for the first time the Norwegian animation artist Ulf Kristiansen, whose work is charcterized by very original ideas realized with machinma. So, also in his case, there were good reasons to wait until September 2020 in order to feature him as the Videoartist ofthe Month September 2020But NewMediaFest2020 ‘9 would like to honour also one of Wilfried’s compagnions since the early years starting 2000 – the Portugues Jose Vieira, who participated in JavaMuseum and other platforms first, before he started in his home town Coimbra –
FONLAD – Online Digital Art Festival – in 2005. Wilfried and José collaborated in different constellations as artists, curators, festival directors the next 10 following years, before Jose was discontinuing FONLAD in 2015. It is such a pity, that online hardly any traces of FONLAD are left. So featuring FONLAD in this NMF2020 edition has also the goal to keep vivid the memory of a really relevant artist’s initiative using like Wilfried the Internet as a platform for connecting artists, curators and cultural institutions – creating a kind of cultural unity for a limited period of time.In September 2009, Wilfried released also the 6th edition of SoundLAB under the motto of “soundPOOL”, including 128 international soundartists – and finally in September 2020 – the collaboration with 
TAM – Torrance Art Museum Los Angeles continues – this time placed in a local Los Angeles based event context – MAIDEN LA – when during 3 weeks – 1-20 September 2020 – numerous cultural institutions realize their events at the same time. During these Corona times, many of the events take place online – therefore TAM – is repeating the online screenings of The 7 Memorials for Humanity the 7 screening program shown during the past 7 weeks at TAM’s DarkRoom.
11 September 2001
terror attacks in NY & WashingtonC
The Terror Memorial
Feature on 11 September 2020
This Memorial project was initiated on occasion of the terror attack on 11 September 2001 in USA (New York & Washington),
but is dedicated to all victims of terror as terror happens in all parts of the world at any time.
The principle of those attacks is to hit innocent citizens – the more, the better.
During the years countless of them died, vanished in anonymity and are forgotten.
This Memorial is a place to commemorate all of them, noone will be forgotten.
This Memorial is also referring to the terrorattacks on Bali 2002 and London, Madrid 2004 and London 2005.
The September 11 attacks (also referred to as 9/11) were a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda against the United States on the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001. The attacks killed 2,996 people, injured over 6,000 others, and caused at least $10 billion in infrastructure and property damage.[5][6] Additional people died of 9/11-related cancer and respiratory diseases in the months and years following the attacks.
Four passenger airliners operated by two major U.S. passenger air carriers (United Airlines and American Airlines)—all of which departed from airports in the northeastern United States bound for San Francisco and Los Angeles—were hijacked by 19 al-Qaeda terrorists. Two of the planes, American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, were crashed into the North and South towers, respectively, of the World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan. Within an hour and 42 minutes, both 110-story towers collapsed. Debris and the resulting fires caused a partial or complete collapse of all other buildings in the World Trade Center complex, including the 47-story 7 World Trade Center tower, as well as significant damage to ten other large surrounding structures. A third plane, American Airlines Flight 77, was crashed into the Pentagon (the headquarters of the U.S. Department of Defense) in Arlington County, Virginia, which led to a partial collapse of the building’s west side. The fourth plane, United Airlines Flight 93, was initially flown toward Washington, D.C., but crashed into a field in Stonycreek Township near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, after its passengers thwarted the hijackers. 9/11 is the single deadliest terrorist attack in human history and the single deadliest incident for firefighters and law enforcement officers in the history of the United States, with 343 and 72 killed, respectively.

The 7 Memorials for Humanity
developed, created and curated by Wilfried Agricola de Cologne & released in 2019, the 7 Memorials Project is a multi-facetted digital media art context – a “platform for commemorating” – to be understood as a kind of multi-dimensional virtual sculpture – working in an exchange between virtual and physical space. While the memorial sites are located online for permanent – accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days of a year, there will be temporary locations in physical space hosting a manifestation of one or more memorials to be complemented by interventions like screenings, a symposium, lectures, discussions, artists meetings, exhibitions, performances etc in order to reach a higher degree of sustainability by sensitizing people via art.
Commemorating can be understood as an advanced and, additionally, collective form of perception as the contrary of consuming in which the aspect of time is receiving generally a particular relevance – stimulating the “audience” permanently or at least regularly to be activated again and again and reflect and re-reflect – and, in the given case, also as a higher goal of art which goes far beyond the visual or sensual sensation.
Based on 7 differently aimed ongoing audio-visual media art contexts, launched between 2001 and 2020, the project is dealing with new forms of commemorating, respectively generating awareness, related to topics that really matter in the currently globally and locally escalating political, social, ecological and cultural situations endangering a free, open and democratic society and Humanity as that fundamental human value, at all. It is a plea to the contemporarily living people to keep and defend humanity as the highest human value also for future generations.
The Memorial context and its creator are acting as mediators between different parties by demonstrating diversity, eg. activating on one hand artists to articulate and contribute their (artistic) opinion, on the other hand by doing so, activating the audience to use the artistic interventions as the basis for their own reflections.
It is said, that art cannot change world as it is, but this is not completely true, art as the most human of all human expressions has that particular potential to sensitize people and change awareness, this way. However, it lies in the responsibility of the individual what he/she is doing with this awareness.
Each one of the incorporated memorials is rooted on another collection of audio-visual art, which can be experienced online. The Sonic Memorial is the only one using the non-visual medium of sonic art, generating different kinds of associations than the visual medium of video or film: for instance, The Refugee Film Collection, incorporating more than 100 videos from documentary to video art & experimental film.
As a media art work itself, the 7 Memorial commemorative platform is incorporating 20 individual projects acting individually as Memorials, commemorative projects contexts which are each one representing works of media art for itself, created by Wilfried Agricola dde Cologne, simultaneously they are based on the engagement of (external) artists by contributing (mainly audio-visual) art works which form in the sum of all, related to each topic differently, individual art collections in a community based responsibility, curated and coordinated by Wilfried Agricola de Cologne.
The works created before 2010 are completed – standing as Memorial sites for a PAST to be commemorated, the works created after 2010 referring partially to historical, and partially to most recent incidents and events are ongoing and still in an active conceptual progress.
In total more than 2000 artworks by 1700 artists from 60 countries are forming the fundament of the commemorative platform and the individual Memorial sites, give the 7 Memorials project a multi-dimensional character – including & complementing each other: the global, as well as the local: while the online context is available 24 hours a day to the global community, the individual local manifestation to be realized in an exchange between virtual and physical space in collaboration with worldwide networking partners allow people to meet each other at venues that change their meaning and the awareness related to it by becoming a temporarily limited memorial & space of art.
The main medium of the active part is „art & moving images“ – mono channel art films & videos in an hybrid format, allowing to present the works in different presentation formats, eg. screening, projection & installation.
The short films & videos are forming outstanding collections to be presented to an open minded audience, but together with other artistic media like digital static images and the non-visual medium manifested in sonic art – the form also the basis for exhibition installations of different kind, online and in physical space.
The manifestations are realized in the framework of “The W:OW Project” – We Are One World – http://wow.engad.org – a global networking project, launched in 2017.

WOW Jubilee 2020 IX Los Angeles
TAM – Torrance Art Museum – @ Maiden LA
01 – 20 September 2020
NewMediaFest2020’s Seven Memorials for Humanity-
TAM’s Dark Room is presenting all Seven Memorials for Humanity videos as a special extended recap from September 6-20 in the framework of Maiden A (1-20 Sept.2020)
MAIDEN LA is an inclusive and expansive county-wide survey of art happenings that in encouraging the use of alternative spaces, considers Los Angeles as a platform for generative discourse and creative exchange. An egalitarian program aimed at dissolving hierarchies, MAIDEN LA accepts all projects submitted and gives participating artists total autonomy in the presentation of their work. By being 100% inclusive, the program provides its audience a unique opportunity to consider all participants – regardless of race, gender expression, religious beliefs, age, economic status, or education – on the same plane.
Both a playful anagram and homophone of the Hammer Museum’s ‘Made in LA’ (a biennial featuring emerging or underrepresented LA artists), MAIDEN LA’s focus is not exclusively tied to the Hammer’s curatorial efforts, but a way to consider and broaden how a city’s artistic landscape is defined. MAIDEN LA‘s relevance is amplified in today’s politically charged climate, as our ethos of radical inclusivity eschews hierarchy and aims to disrupt established systems of representation while fostering accessibility for artists and audiences who find it difficult to navigate the art world’s various social and financial constructs.
This year marks MAIDEN LA’s 4th iteration, taking place September 1 – 20, 2020.
NewMediaFest 2020 is a retrospective of video art curated from around the world during the past 20 years, taking place between 26 December 2019 and 31 December 2020 – as an event structure in an exchange between virtual and physical space in collaboration with networking partners all over the world, like the Torrance Art Museum. The Seven Memorials for Humanity, curated by Wilfried Agricola de Cologne draws on the conceptual structures of “social and networked media” to present a kind of multi-dimensional virtual sculpture.
Agricola de Cologne is not only a living witness of the development of the digital technologies in art, he was a pioneer of a time when there were few or no experiences yet to explore their potential for artistic use. As a curator, mediator and catalyst , Agricola de Cologne encourages artists in different disciplines of digital technologies; (digital) video, internet based art (netart), soundart, etc.
The Seven Memorials for Humanity deals with new forms of commemorating and respectively generating awareness to related to topics that matter in the current global and local escalating political, social, ecological and cultural situations, which endanger a free, open and democratic society, and Humanity in general. It is a plea to contemporary society to keep and defend humanity as the highest human value for future generations.

FONLAD – Online Festival for Digital Art
Founded in 2005 by Jose Vieira in Coimbra, a famous university town in Portugal, located betwen Lisbon and Oporto, FONLAD was a typical and unusual initiative alike, typical for the time of its foundation aimed to spport and encourage digital technology in art, unusual because nobody would have expected such an initiative to come from the provincial area of a country situated at the perifery of Europe. Before the foundation of FONLAD, Jose Vieira was one the (digital) artists who collaborated with Wilfried, and when Wilfried was invited to collaborate, Jose confessed that Wilfried’s activities in the field of digital art had been the inspiration for him to start FONLAD. During the following 10 years, it became obvious, that FONLAD was a creative project environment complemented by diverse additional activities initiated by Jose – just to name some – UAVM – Unknown Artists Virtual Museum, Web Art Center, Fake Web Festival – but also artists residencies and from 2006 on annual collaborations with local cultural institutions. It is not completely clear, why after 2015 FONLAD was discontinued, but during the more than 10 years of FONDAD’s existence, the position of digital art had changed profoundly, and that type of initiatives which had been pioneers at the time of their foundation, had become usual, and – obsolete actually. But FONLAD will have its historical place in the field of digital art, even if, like in many other cases, also the existence of FONLAD is only indirectly (and most incompletely) documented – through its mentioning by former collaborators. Which persons finally were deciding over FONLAD’s future, they did not give much relevance to their own creation. That’s a pity, not only for the project, as such, but also for the collaborators!
The following feature can howeever be no more than a documentation of Wilfried’s periferal and occasional involvement as an artist and curator.
IC0 Cultural Association presents
(CologneOFF partner festival 2009)
Fonlad at MIDAC
The art of the XXI century is headed sharply to a digital form where the support is no longer the object: in the wide world before us through the thousands of computer networks that link us all over the world, the Internet becomes not only as a important mean of artistic disseminating but also a creative one.
Bitquid, Jeroen Holthius
It appears as a hidden world to the sight (the digital world requires to be perceived a computer screen), another world (virtual and not real) is difficult to see beyond the bright pixels that separate it from our reality. To know this world, to realize their creative potential, we must interact with it.
Invisible Cities, Tatiana Santos
Intending to bring this world to the general public, through exposure on the Internet and in physical spaces, the IC0 Cultural Association presents the fifth FONLAD festival.
The Online Festival of Digital Arts is an event focused on the Internet in the format of a publication / web gallery of art projects of photography, digital painting, web art, animation and video. Since its first edition, the festival is complemented by exhibitions of international scope: Madrid (1st edition), Coimbra (2nd edition), Montemor-o-Velho (3rd edition + collection), Madeira’s Biennale -Funchal (4th edition + collection),
Belforte del Chienti , Italy (collection) and finally in Guarda (5th edition).
During these 5 years this festival was attended about 170 artists, including some names of international relevance, such as Annie Abrahams, Agricola de Cologne, Caterina Davinio and Jody Zellen.

Update
Fonlad
Digital Art Festival Coimbra/Portugal
The on line Festival for Digital Arts appears in 2005, by the hand of the artist José Vieira, with the goal to promote and reflect on new forms of digital contemporary art.
The project was conceived as an online platform for the dissemination of works of digital art, particularly focusing on video art.
Since 2005 has been participated in the festival over 500 artists highlighting some prominent artists like Annie Abrahams, Agricola de Cologne, Caterina Davinio or Jody Zellen.
Were held several exhibitions completing virtual exhibitions on the internet, workshops, residencies and installations in unconventional spaces.
Several partnerships were established with other festivals, such as “Cologne Off” (Germany), In-Out Festival (Poland), Oslo Screen (Norway), Magmart (Italy), Athens Video Art Festival (Greece), Miden (Greece) and others.
The On Line Festival for Digital Arts reaches its 9th edition under the paradigm shift and renewal. Centered on the Space for Arts, Media & Performance, aims to celebrate the 50 years of video art by intervention projects in unconventional spaces and experimenting with new languages and forms of presentation of digital arts. In these 50 years, video art has evolved into supporting bracket, from television monitors to the projections on large building facades, through several different surfaces and supports, in which mixture of different arts elements make video a kind of chameleon that is transformed according to the location and the surface on which it stands.
Video art is undoubtedly the great art of this century, on this new era that begins full of transformed potential, challenging new ways for society. The multiplicity of forms which video art contains demonstrates the versatility of this artistic medium , adapting to the location and time in there particular way of being: the same piece seems to change when it is presented in different places and in different contexts.
The same paradigm lives digital art, including Web art that, while captive by the screen of a computer,it is transformed into new forms.
It is this versatility that FONLAD Festival aims to present through a number of initiatives in several unconventional spaces, ranging from the common room to the monumental space of a museum, the public space to a private garden.
To test new ways of presentation of video art, photography and digital art in he’s new headquarters space, trying to bring the “street” these new forms of art.
In 2013 we will continue to invest in training and performing artist residencies, exhibitions and international video interventions in unconventional spaces, supported by partnerships with some of the most important international festivals in Europe.

Agricola de Cologne – Urban.early sunday morning_raw, 2002, 4:40
Synopsis
Video based on a poetic text by Agricola de Cologne inspired by the Central Station of Milan (Italy).
Metropolis: sunday morning, between open end and twilight, between hope and resignation, between following a dream and returning that night to the home town or village outside.
Coming from the disco, full of the impressions of that juicy girl or that horny boy, doubtful of whether preserving innocence or following the instinct for an outstanding erotic adventure.
It is the moment of not yet knowing, vacillating between yes or no.
It is a same ritual each week-end, even if decisions are made once.
It is a game between identifying and identity.
The work describes the urban landscape as a scenario of a play, where the protagonists are embedded in without any chance to escape.
*FONLAD – Festival for Digital Art Coimbra/Portugal 22 Oct – 30 Nov 2005
Digital video inspired by a visit of Thessaloniki.
The work describes the principle of “code” or “coding” in form of an allegory, a metaphoric story as a ritual of meeting, dominating and resigning. The code is identified as a state of the static, dogmatic and conservative, which asks for obedience, but gives no chance to escape.

Agricola de Cologne – RED: One Day on Mars, 2007, 8:00
Synopsis
A human being is obliged to spend at least one day in his lifetime on Mars. Mars the red desert planet, Mars the god of war. Mars can be anywhere, any place which is identified with the inhuman, violence, hate, rage, revenge and despair.
Agricola de Cologne filmed the original material 2006 during a visit in Palestine & Israel.

Agricola de Cologne – Silent Cry, 2016, 3:40
Short synopsis
Silent Cry is the visualization of an internal cry happening all the time, when society does not allow to show deep emotional affection. The silent cry is always present caused by never ending traumatizations during decades hidden behind the facade people wants to see. And even if the cry would be be seen or heard, people would refuse to face it. The work release is giving sound a particular relevance.

Curatorial statement
„Alienation on Mysterious Networks“ is a selection curated by Wilfried Agricola de Cologne for FONLAD 2014 on occasion of the 10 anniversary of CologneOFF – Cologne International Videoart Festival.
All selected works deal with mysterious networking structures the protagonists are involved in and the alienation through their own subjective view. The next level of alienation by the artists’ work out is causing a strange, alienated objectivity.

Short synopsis
Silent Cry is the visualization of an internal cry happening all the time, when society does not allow to show deep emotional affection. The silent cry is always present caused by never ending traumatizations during decades hidden behind the facade people wants to see. And even if the cry would be be seen or heard, people would refuse to face it. The work release is giving sound a particular relevance.

A Virtual Memorial Vilnius 2013
How ambitious the manifestation of Shoah Film Collection in Lithuania was as “A Virtual Memorial Vilnius 2013”, nobody will ever know. At the beginning was standing a vague invitation during “A Virtual Memorial Riga 2012”, but differently than in Riga the conditions for the realisation were really bad. Wilfried’s attempts to finding Western European funding for an event to take place in Eastern Europe nearly all failed, and a crowdfunding campaign in Internet had been nearly a complete desaster. Additionally, the Lithuanian partners were willing, but completely unexperienced for realizing such a complex project, that like in Riga one year ago, also for Vilnius the actual headquaters for the local realisation were in Cologne, but not in Vilnius, because the event to be planned in the framework of AVMCI – A Virtual Memorial Commemorative Interventions – were about to fail.
It became obvious, only The European Parliament, which had taken the Patronage over the event to start on 23 September 2013, and some private sponsors, which were supporting Wilfried’s “A Living Memorial” project in 1995-1998 already, accustomed to support a project carrying Jewish topics – were supporting Wilfried. The 1st time after so many years he was confronted with ant-Semitic resentiments, the way how privat sponsors and so-called cultural foundations were declining support was a shame – and Wilfried was a lonesome warriour in a most hostile world.
In April 2013, when it became already obvious, that the crowdfunding campaign would not collect the required money, Wilfried had a kind of complete break-down- making Wilfried rethink his position as an artist, curator, mediator, festival director etc, and he was about to cancel the entire project- but, that’s typical for Wilfried, after the Lithuanian partners had confirmed that the local realisation was completely funded, he finally was taking an incredible risk and decided to realize a very poor project, which had nearly no funding to be realised in Cologne. What would the people in Vilnius say, when Wilfried was arriving with project materials transported in a single suitcase? Instead of preparing expensive exhibitions structures, he had prepared the entire project digitally, and the images were not original, but just digital prints – and of course, all the wonderful video programs could be run from DVD.
The poverty of the exhibition was indeed a crucial point, because many people did not understand the way how the entire project was realised, and that its success was actually, that the event was taking place, at all, under the adverse circumstances.
Generally, in the cultural field all people take for granted that projects of such an exceptional status standing under the Patronage of the European Parliament are richly funded and that many people have their personal benefit from such fundings, but when the event was opened on 23 September 2013 by the Israeli Ambassador in the Baltic Countries, Ms. Hagit Ben Yaakov, she had been the only person who was understanding the particular relevance of Wilfried’s initiative, because, it was finally herself who made the opening only possible. She also knew, of course, how all the anti-Semitic actions made nearly fail the entire project and how Wilfried felt, when he was standing before all the diplomatic officials talking about his “poor” project. But Wilfried did not feel poor, but very rich, because “humanity”, his humanitarian ideas had been the winner, and the poverty of the exhibition was secondary.
In the end, like in Riga 2012, the event in Vilnius became a success via the attending artists in the Symposium – generating really many very touching moments, showing Wilfried that all his efforts were worthwhile, at least for the very moment, but……….

A Virtual Memorial Vilnius 2013 is a media art project by Wilfried Agricola de Cologne, media artist aund curator from Cologne/Germany starting in 2013. It is the physical and virtual manifestation of his project “Draft Title: Shoah featuring Shoah Film Collection”, including the preparations for the physical event during Agricola de Cologne’s residency in Vilnius 10-28 September 2013, the realisation of the physical event – 23 Sept-29 Oct 2013 in Vilnius and Kedainiai including creating the virtual presence, and the post-event era forming the project online to become the virtual memorial including Vilnius as a place for Jewish life and the manifestation of “A Virtual Memorial”. The project is dedicated to the victims of Vilna Ghetto and Nazism.
In this way, “A Virtual Memorial Vilnius 2013” became a common project of all participating artists, the involved hosting instances, the supporters and the audience. Depending on their involvement, each of them has a more or less individual active function, resulting a common media art project, which would not have happened or exist without them. One might speak, they were the tools for creating the physical and virtual art work.
The exhibition as a form of an intervention on location in Vilnius had the meaning to represent the physical conceptual framework of the art work, eg. A Virtual Memorial Vilnius 2013. Although this framework was consisting of several components provided by different creators (artists), it was not an art exhibition in this sense that different artworks by individual artists would have been traditionally installed at an exhibition space. The exhibition had the intention to give background information about “A Virtual Memorial Vilnius 2013″ as a kind of community or network based art work, whereby “community” is not only related to the communities of hosts, holders and artists, but basically also the “unknown” component, eg. the audience to be activated. The exhibition had its relevance in representing the conceptual framework as a condition for such a kind of activation. While the material presentation of the exhibition was suffering from the lack of funding, the concept of the exhibition prepared for a non-art-related space didn’t. This space had been transformed into a space of art because the institution hosting the art project of “A Virtual Memorial Vilnius 2013″ made the building a part of the art project, which became, this way, an object of contemporary art. By being a corporate part of the art project, the place as a reconstructed building was standing for the entire former Ghetto and the Jewish settling area of Vilnius and the entire history of Jewish life starting from the first Jewish settlers centuries ago. For the art project itself, exactly this was the conceptual condition, and this was including also some physical, technical and technological restrictions, which did not make the space a perfect space of art in the sense of a museum or gallery space, but an art space in terms how authenticity has been transmitted via reconstructing. Especially the building of the Jewish Culture and Information Center is just generating an image of autheticity and was in this sense, already only virtual, only as an art object, as a part of a superordinated art project it became physically authentical. Probably in whole Vilnius there was no better place for being transformed to “A Virtual Memorial Vilnius 2013″.
Video Artist of the Month Sept 2020 – Ulf Kristiansen
When Ulf Kristiansen was submitting his 1st animation video, in 2009 to CologneOFF V, it was obvious this was an artist who was combining socially and politically relevant topics with the esthetics of Machinima and musical components, these rare videos to be featured transport a particulr spirit of irony. The artist submitted new animated works in total on 7 occasions, CologneOFF, animateCologne, but also The Refugee Film Collection or the new Corona Film Collection. NMF2020 is particularly proud to present 7 of his videos created between 2006 and 2020, because otherwise there are not many biografical info available on the net, and the videos offer actually the only view inside of the artist. So, the user is invited to make his own interpretation.
Ulf Kristiansens’s videos will be featured in a “Special” on 2 September!

CologneOFF VII
CologneOFF VII – Art & the City
7th festival edition 2011
After it’s online launch on 26 August 2011, CologneOFF VII – Art & the City becomes the 2nd column on which the nomadic festival project “CologneOFF 2011/2012 – videoart in a global context” is standing on.
The motto of the 7th festival edition is “Art & the City”, reflecting the meaning of art in an urban context and the critical view currenty social, cultural, political and ecological conditions of the urban living environment.
The motto “art & the city” was adapted from the TV series “sex & the city” pointing not only to art in an urban context, but also on art dealing with the urban environment, the living conditions under different social, cultural, ethnic, religous or political backgrounds – anonymous or selections in a community while the individual feels lost, but also to the desire for the other which the urban landscape is missing, the nature or the closeness of a beloved person.
Twelve thematic selections contain more than 150 exciting videos by 120 participating artists demonstrating a magnificent variety of video as an artistic medium without any creative limitations. Focussed on single channel videos, the compilation of CologneOFF VII contains aspects of artfilm, experimental shortfilm, videoloop and traditional videoart and video installation – a specific hybrid form of videoart to be celebrated in different presentation formats.

CologneOFF 2011 – Videoart in a global context Nomadic Festival Project touring once around the globe
Project duration: 1 January – 31 December 2011
Exhibition period: 2011 and 2012
As a nomadic festival project running in total 24 months including 65 venues, CologneOFF 2011 is focussing on experimental aspects of the „global“ art medium “video” (experimental film and videoart) by spotlighting the diversity of artistic and curatorial contributions from many countries around the globe. Every month of 2011 is dedicated to other geographical global
regions, among them , Africa, Northern Europe, Mediterrenian, Eastern Europe, Balkan, UK-Ireland, Latin America, Germany-Austria, France-Spain-Portugal, Middle East, Far East
This ambitious media art project is using CologneOFF VI – the 6th festival edition- as its fundament to be premiered in January 2011 and CologneOFF VII – the 7th festival edition to be premiered in September 2011, as well a basic screening program to be extended and complemented by curatorial contributions of videoart, presenting and reflecting not only various views on the art medium itself, but also on the selected artists and art works intending to confront the audience a variety of artistic and curatorial approaches. The filters of 12 additional thematic
projects complement the concept of presenting diversity.
The project is presenting primarily single channel videos to be screened, projected or installed, but optionally also multi-channel works can be considered in gallery contexts.
While CologneOFF 2011 will be present 24 hours a day on the net from 1 January 2011 on, each month physical events are scheduled at other around the globe in form of screenings, presentations and exhibitions to be complemented by lectures and workshops.
Based on exchange and networking, CologneOFF 2011 is looking for cooperating partners all over the world, i.e. institutions, organisations, curators, artists and individuals which would like to join, host or contribute, and celebrate this way videoart in a global context while the project is running actively during 2011 and 2012.
About CologneOFF
Founded in 2006 in the framework of [NewMediaArtProjectNetwork]||cologne aka The New Museum of Networked Art, CologneOFF was initiated as Cologne Online Film Festival – a type of event which was set up as a curatorial project exclusively for the Internet, but due to my intensive engagement a lot of institutions and festivals were showing their interest in presenting the CologneOFF festival programs in the framework of festivals or media art contexts in physical space, resulting extensive screening activities in cooperation and networking, which became also the fundament for organising CologneOFF as a festival without a static festival location.
Together with VideoChannel – the mother platform for videoart – CologneOFF represents a very successful concept in an exchange between virtual and physical space. Both platforms are best introduced to the international art scene.
In 2010, the 6th CologneOFF festival edition in sequence is being prepared within the international network at different places, with a world premiere in Budapest in September 2010, including for the first time an international jury consisting of the curators from 7 internationally reknown festivals
Margarida Paiva ( director Oslo Screen Festival), Gioula
Papadopoulou (curator Videoart Festival Miden Greece)
Macu Moran (director Videoart World Barcelona)
Giorgio Fedeli (curator VisualContainer Milan)
Jonas Nilsson/Eva Olsson (Orebro International Videoart Festival Sweden),
Mohamed Allam (director Medrar Video Festival Cairo Ägypten)
Tamas Gabeli (director Budapest International Shortfilm Festival Hungary)
In this context, it became necessary to change the second part of the festival name into Cologne International Videoart Festival, taking into account the development of CologneOFF from an exclusive online festival to a physical festival with a strong online component.
Consequently, in 2010 the curatorial initiative artvideoKOELN was founded as the first physical platform based on the existing activities around „art and moving image“ in order to organise CologneOFF as a new type of festival CologneOFF 2011, combining different networks on different levels, an event which is not reduced to a couple of days, but extended to the 12 months of the year 2011 at venues in and around Cologne, Germany and the rest of the world focussing on “videoart in a global context”.

Netartist of The Month September 2020
STANZA
STANZA was the 1st netartist featured in September 2001 on “Le Musee divisioniste”- the predessessor of The New Museum of Networked Art. He was participating afterwards in many of the JavaMuseum shows. From the beginning he was using codes for his net based works which still are valid and well-running on usual browsers. That’s most remarkable, while new technological developments often made codes obsolete used by artists. The works have still the freshness as in the days of creation, and therefore they transport the spirit of that time to our days, like only a few other netartists do. STANZA remained true to himself, because he was developing his electronic technology based further on, creating gigantic landscapes consisting of electronic components generating particular, very singular esthetics. The feature is showcasing most of the netbased works, inviting the user to interact and become part of the artwork. Feature on 4 September 2020 – including basic Internet based art works

Biennale of Electronic Art
The RRF Project
[R][R][F] 200X —> XP // Remembering-Repressing-Forgetting – the global networking project
has been realised by Wilfried Agricola de Cologne on occasion and invitation of BEAP 2004 – Biennale of Electronic Art taking place between September and November 2004 in Perth/Australia.
The printed catalogue is available as PDF
Agricola de Cologne was requested to create a global networking project dealing with the phenomenon of “memory” in avariety of different aspects. The global aspect is manifesting itself in the Location of the Internet based project, as such, in the concept to research how people from different contries rooted in different cultures, religions and social background deal with memory, by including artists and curators from different countries, cultural, religious and social background. It was the idea to demonstrate this dealing via different “memory channels”, each one dedicated to a different artistic digital medium.

While the Biennale exhibitions were installed at numerous art places and institutes, Agricola de Cologne was installed at the artist in residence gallery @ Central Taffe Institute of Technology Perth/Australia in an exchange between virtual and physical space, where he also was an artist in residence.

NewMediaFest2020 ‘9 will featured between 13 and 23 September 2020 – the 6th edition of Soundlab
128 sound compositions – a challenge for imagination
soundPOOL
represents an exciting composition consisting of soundcreations by 128 soundartists which want to activate the senses, to encourage the listener
to dive deeply until the bottom of the pool which is offerring a wide range of unusual soundart works.
Sound and music are much better tools for challenging human imagination since they are non-visual .
They touch the perception more directly and more intensively that the overused visual media are able to.
