How the (WAA)association works, and what its objectives are. Each of us, at present, are having to deal with the problems of ; on the one hand being professional artists while on the other having to be experts on the leading edge of Internet technology. A situation that undoubtedly diminishes the time (and strength) we can devote to the business of making art!

In addition the revenue available..when there is any...is small, hard to track down and donated on the size and importance of our 'Website'.

All of which dilute our efforts and resources.

In addition few of us have time to engage in discourse with related academic/art market and museum institutions. Although this would seem to be vital in the development of serious Internet art and recognition.

 

Members of the Association are working to make possible the following:
