This year's Root Festival, which celebrates media and time-based art and is held annually in Kingston Upon Hull, UK, has an online counterpart that will develop along with the real-world events. The site contains information on all the featured artists and projects as well as webcasts, chatrooms, and debates. Check back regularly for new designs and concepts. A highlight: EMARE [European Media Artist Residency Exchange] Petko Dourmana's user- visualisation system Socializer and a full program of live streams.
