The Documenta X (Kassel) site is probably the most interesting and
interactive. Catherine David, the director, has made a commitment to
exploring the possibilities of the Internet and there are a number of web
projects. As far as I know there is little performance like we had at PORT.
It's  difficult to find your way around the site and much of it is
incomplete at this point. We have higher hopes for Ars Electronica in
September.

Check out the BLAST Project (you need the new Cosmo VRML 2.0 plugin). It
was created by Marek Walczak and crew and has a VRML front end to a
database.

Geert Lovink and Pit Schultz of the NETTIME Mailiing List
have created *Hybrid* WorkSpace, an open media center,
during the duration of Documenta X. The project will then
move to the Berlin Bieniale next summer.

A Debate Forum has been initiated by director Catherine David
to discuss the concept of Documenta X as a "manifestation
culturelle".
