[spectre] V2_ Archive online

[Andreas Broeckmann]

folks,
there is an AMAZING new web resource online - the v2_organisation's 
text and photo archive has been digitized and can be consulted 
through a quite intelligent search engine that finds things you were 
looking for, as well as a lot of related information, projects, 
people, events ... the whole things shows the amazing number of 
people that have passed through v2_, and the quality of work there 
over the years.
for the nostalgics among long-time ex-syndicate-spectres, there are 
photos of the 1996 Syndicate meeting at DEAF!
greetings,
-a

Subject: V2_: new web portal for V2_Archive

V2_ is proud to present its new, publicly accessible archive portal. The
portal was created for research purposes and offers an experimental
interface to V2_'s archive database. It is a work in progress; design and
content will be enhanced and improved.

<http://archive.v2.nl/>

This archive portal contains information about V2_'s activities from 1993
till present. V2_'s archive team collects documentation about all people,
organizations, artworks and events that have played a role in V2_'s
history; this includes a collection of about 15,000 photographs and a
growing number of digitalized video fragments, in addition to a large
number of texts, images and links.

The new archive portal was built in continuation of the website for the
DEAF03 festival <http://deaf.v2.nl/>, which already offered a 'sneak peek'
at V2_'s archive content.
We hope this website will be useful for educational and research purposes
and as a source of information for the electronic art community at large.
Reactions and feedback can be sent to V2_'s archive team: <archive at v2.nl>.
