365 pieces from a woman's body citadel Web-multimedia installation. 365 Art Project Gallery. Athens (Greece), April 4 - May 10, 2002. The copyright into internet world as artefact. Performer: Alexia Tzamikosoglou
The CulturalOlympics.com, has to do with my manifesto about net art; I don't believe that today we can define one hundred per cent, what is net art and internet art work in general. The internet world is to young to have its own intellectual history; theretofore -in my opinion- the most of the internet "art works" are just experiments, without a strong theoretical and philosophical background, formulated for this new world. A very few expressions comes directly from this new world: and I believe that this is the key, to define in this early steps of net art, a secure status for internet art work. One of these expressions is undeniably the domain name. The post modern thesis of net citizen, can validate a domain name as art: a domain name and the copyright in internet as well, under a domain name expression, can be net art. This is the CulturalOlympics.com: an international domain name, that can works as art, as it is; a virtual cultural domain name, that confirm itself as art work in internet chaotic universe. So, I put the domain name CulturalOlympics.com in a virtual stand and I say: this is net art. This is my thesis, for this work. The art critic Olga Daniylopoulou, as well as the European Patent Office curators and other art critics, they agree that this thesis is valid: but the most important is your present as net citizen. I thing that, you are validate this work, each time that you visit this site. This art work presented on internet on March-April 2002 and also presented at the European Patent Office art exhibition in Munich (Germany) on June 2004 (Far-Near-Centre;12 positions in contemporary Greek Art). More about this exhibition: www.culturalolympics.com/epart.

http://www.culturalolympics.com/stichomythia.htm A web - multimedia performance: the new limits of adaptation. Stichomythia is a web – multimedia performance, by Christos Prossylis. Presented in Munich, Germany (June 2004) into the frame of the art exhibition “Far-Near-Center: twelve positions in contemporary Greek Art”, that organized by European Patent Office. Stichomythia is a live internet chat room performance and an internet-multimedia installation performance; which took place directly from the European Patent Office on open day evening (June 22, 2004). Two performers chatted in the CulturalOlympics.com chat room, live from the exhibition area. The same time, from time to time, exhibition audience acts as performers exchanging positions with the original performers (Antigone and Creon). So, this final performance’ text is a multi-writing result directly from the performance action. Performers were use a day by day life text and texts from ancient Greek drama, as well, producing analogue and internet action. From time to time also, they used the text to produce small theatrical events and back to the chat. The performance takes 2-3 hours. The interaction between analogue and internet world, took place in the European Patent Office' art exhibition (Far-Near-Centre: Twelve Positions in contemporary Greek art) and in Cultural Olympics.com chat at the same time. This event linked the internet action with a specific analogue place: line by line talk - line by line worlds, in an adaptation without limits. The adaptation is informed by the pursuit of a particular audience (net citizens and art exhibition audience): it asks how might the migration of material to a new medium (for example the ancient Greek text) gain a new audience or re-exploit its existing one? What happens when this material is redeveloped in its original medium as an adapted text (for example a “traditional” theatre performance)? How and why might web performance accept or otherwise respond to material originally presented in performance, involving multimedia? Can material lend itself to, or resist, re-presentation in a web – multimedia performance? How can the presentational possibilities or limitations of this medium resonate in this particular work? How is material affected by dispersal over, or integration of, multiple media?
