they say		Pixel paintings tutorials Sebastian Marquez, artist and art teacher (painting in pixels) offers you access to his collection of art lessons and art projects for you to expand your own skills Takuji is an amateur photographer who also works at Narita Airport. Apparently, when a suitably photogenic flight attendant steps off the plane, Takuji manages to get her to pose for shots that are just waiting for a perfume logo at the bottom This is numbingly enchanting stuff, but I don't know if Takuji knows it...

they say		Powers of Persuasion: Poster Art from WWII "Straight from the National Archives, this exhibit uses 33 World War II propaganda posters to illustrate "two psychological approaches used in rallying public support for the war." Half of the posters inspire and motivate (from "United We Win" to "It's a Woman's War Too!"), and the others instill fear and wariness ("This is Nazi Brutality")."

they say		HYPERLINK: PHOTOFORUM WORLDWIDE EXHIBITION This special group exhibition connects 23 photographers' (PhotoForum members) images through hyperlinkage. This may be the first time that individuals have come together through this process on the Web to share and project a common interest ... in this case, the medium of photography. This holistic approach tests the true potential of cyberspace to be able to merge 'space' from different points on the globe.

they say		Art Guide to the Collections of Great Britain and Ireland The site is divided into three main sections, allowing users to browse for exhibits by artist, museum, or geographic location. The Art Guide database currently contains over 1,900 artists, more than 650 museums, and over 4,500 individual listings. Each artist listing features a list of works on display and their location; each museum listing describes the highlights of its collection, and provides an address and phone number, a link to its website (where available) and links to other museums in that region. Additional site features include a separate listing of museums with web sites and kid-friendly destinations, a comprehensive exhibition listing, and a visitors discussion forum.

they say		MUVA (Virtual Museum of Arts) Henry the Navigator's emblem "navigating is more important than living" bears eloquent witness to this site. This "museum" is bold in both the art that it features and in the design of the site where it resides. Users can take a virtual tour through the museum, either via the stairs, an elevator, individual floor plans of its three floors, or by clicking on the artist's name. Users may also walk around rooms by use of directional controls, and view any of the artworks, along with information about them and about the artist. The first mouse click opens a separate browser window, and it is in this window that the entire exhibit is viewed.

they say		1st pan-european open art conline contest in the www We believe that political and economical achievements alone are not able to guarantee a peaceful growth of the European community as a whole and give it a promissory future without discovering and developing common cultural values. Jean Monnet, one of the founders of the European Union said once that if he would have to start again building up this union he would have started with the culture. Following these ideals, this project is not primarily and exclusively dedicated to the widespread of European visual art but much more to render a modest contribution in finding a common cultural identity.

they say		Cyberlife's Creatures or those of you who haven't seen it, "Creatures" is a small graphical world in which you can raise, teach and breed small cute furry automata called "Norns." Norns can't learn concepts outside of their hard-wired 80-word lexicon, but they do possess complicated and individualistic personalities, likes/dislikes, somatic and linguistic habits, etc. And their haploid "DNA" system is worth exploring all by itself -- it's a beautifully elegant design and a nice "first step" in desktop genetic modeling. As far as their learning and linguistic capabilities are concerned, they are a great example of a fairly simple model exhibiting apparently-complex, apparently-rational, apparently-self-motivated behaviour. The coolest thing about these little creatures is that their creators are pretty open-minded when it comes to third-party examination of the system itself; the macro language, global constant values and definitions, genetic code and other data are fairly easy to come across, and mostly ASCII-based. As a result, there are now buttloads of objects, sprite editors, creature editors and other utilities created by wacky users everywhere.
