ArtStream
ArtStream, a Web-based, curated exhibition space for Internet art, seeks to promote the work of Internet artists while bringing it into the "legitimized" world of traditional museum culture. Therefore, ArtStream makes it easy for a curator from a less technical background to administer an exhibit. ArtStream is the product of collaboration between the University of Arizona Museum of Art and the Treistman Center for New Media, in the University of Arizona College of Fine Arts. The project was funded by a New Learning Environments grant from the university.

The ArtStream administrative area was created with the typical Web user in mind, relying on standard Web forms in standard Web browsers for system interaction. Information entered into these java server pages forms is stored in a MySQL database structure and is then displayed through dynamic Flash technology on the public front end.

Please visit ArtStream, the Treistman Center for New Media, and the University of Arizona Museum of Art for more information.
