2. Memory Channels
[R][R][F] and each other included basic component, e.g. XP (experimental) versions of Violence, Rainforest Memorial, Globalization, AIDS Memorial, News Channel, Streaming Channel, Video Channel and others, but not more than 16 channels in total, will form the "Memory Channels", which are screened in physical space on "MemoryScreens" and "MemoryProjections" and form the basis of the physical installation of [R][R][F] 2004.

3. Networks
The networking project does not include only these mentioned virtual and physical components from different sources of [NewMediaArtProjectWork]: cologne, strategic points (places, institutions, individuals) will be installed, which are connected in the network also during the year 2004. Each of these strategic points will form a local network consisting of local institutions, artists, organizations dealing with New Media and art, "memory and identity" and/or humanitarian matter in social, cultural or political concern. 
Each strategic point/local network will present [R][R][F] 2004 in physical space simultaneously with other strategic points of the global network, as well as it will optional complement this presentation through works of local artists connected to "memory and identity", and a program of Internet related actions of different kind, via "online streaming" in real time or temporarily displaced. Further are optional, workshops or other events to be organised in this framework. 
The audience, the project is addressed to is not only reduced to online users, but includes the visitors of the physical installation as well, who all cannot only participate what is going on in the global network (program), but it is intended to include also some direct involvement of the visitor.
