As the name indicates, the German Center for Art and Media Technology in Karlsruhe deals with new media, technology and their convergence. The site is divided up into six categories, reflecting the different areas of activity and gives a lot of links to new media art sites, exhibitions all over the world and ZKM’s projects in commercial and non-commercial areas.

The Berlin Academy of Arts is made up of six sections: music, literature, fine arts, performing arts, architecture and media arts. The members of the single sections belong to the European vanguard in their disciplines.

The documents are not interactive, as the institute is not so much concerned with new media and Internet art, but rather with the past and the present of ongoing off-line art.
