Information about current projects, events and developments taking place at the interface of media art and technology can be found anywhere on the Internet. Since existing information channels simply concentrate on specific user groups, virtually no cross-speciality, interdisciplinary exchange takes place. The aim of netzspannung.org is to establish an on-line centre of expertise for media art, design and technology to promote an interdisciplinary exchange between art and technology. This in turn will make advanced media technology available as a highly productive resource for the world of art, and equally will make artistic strategies accessible for the development of media technology.
