  Greetings. I'm working on a section of my project about pre - web Internet 
art and I need a visual description of Bartlett's 1979 work "Interplay." I 
know the technology that they used and all the cities across the globe that 
were involved in it but I don't know EXACTLY what it was they did and why it 
is ART rather than just communication. Could someone please assist me?

I have been assigned to speak at a conference on Digital Media and Democracy
in Athens.
I plan to prepare a paper suggesting ways that we, as citizens of modern
societies and media users, could use the Internet as tools for civil action,
democratic participation and political action.
In my presentation, I would like to provide some successful examples of
Internet use that could be said to have had a democratic content and
orientation. Examples of internet communities functioning as a public
sphere..
I was thinking about online initiatives that reached the offline world and
made a difference.
Any ideas? I would greatly appreciate your help.
