“Rather than distribute a message to recipients who are outside the process of creation and invited to give meaning to a
work of art belatedly, the artist now attempts to construct an environment, a
system of communication and production, a collective event that implies its recipients, transforms interpreters into actors, enables
interpretation to enter the loop with collective action.”
Pierre Lévy, Collective Intelligence: Mankind's Emerging World in Cyberspace (1994)

The handbook test bed

• Almost 30 private and public cultural institutions and companies choosed to be involved
Pierluigi FeliciatiBerlin, 07042005
The handbook test bed
The test bed has been done through a questionnaire where the responsible of web site with the support of the technical and editorial staff, has annotated all the aspects of their Web project, on the base of the model offered in the Handbook.
The questionnaire was conceived as a diary: more versions were produced and distributed in the WG.
The case studies annotated also the utility and the problems of the Handbook during their activity.
