                  Subject: a new cafe, the Anatolia 2000 Cyber
                  Cafe

                  BM New Media Cafe

                  What is a frontier more creativity today, when we
                  are without a definitive map? At the turn of the
                  millenium, this situation still applies to cyberspace.
                  On occasion, a search without landmarks through
                  the numerous art sources, discussions can be
                  facilitated. Anatolia 2000 project will make it
                  easy to navigate focusing on art and visualizing
                  further electronic expansions too.

                  Anatolia 2000 Cyber Cafe, a project of BM and
                  for the BM space in situ, is a concerted effort to
                  chart this terra incognita.

                  In order to outline a map of the cyberatlas for art
                  and culture, an accumulation of a system of
                  hardware, software and a team of young culture
                  warriors will get together for interactive
                  communication in order to both receive and
                  transmit as well art news, art works and
                  installations and expanded events of all types.

                  At BM New Media Cafe, one updated station
                  with internet connection will be browsing
                  contemporary art cyberworld towards so many
                  predetermined engaged addresses quite in
                  continuity, with a systematic downloading urge
                  and outreaching interactivity coverage. Printouts
                  of texts, of visual stuffs and of all animated
                  objects will be available from BM Cafe, and will
                  also be exhibited during the cafe open hours as
                  texts, posters, video demonstrations and as big
                  size projected items. Actually these things will
                  constitute the main substantial center of attraction
                  for the BM Cafe attendance, while a light buffet
                  and drinks service, and a contemporary
                  avantgarde art works' gallery disposal open for
                  public will and for sale within the copyrights,
                  complete the general culture center outlook. The
                  for-profit administration of BM New Media Cafe
                  will be defacto carried on by the Studioplus Ltd.
                  Company and other associated interested third
                  parties, sponsors and institutions.

                  How BM Anatolia 2000 Cyber Cafe will
                  approach artists, regular or supporting
                  memberships, and other institutional access issues
                  is presently open to suggestions and ideas --
                  indeed these would be considered as constructive
                  and encouraging. Better coverage and interactivity
                  of all the odd ends of the remote contemporary
                  artistic sites in cyberspace, getting to know all
                  speculative expectations via a variety of routes
                  based on the multimedia communication new
                  know-hows, will be openly explored via in situ
                  practices and live art+technology applications.
