World-Information.Org is a collaborative effort of organizations and individuals who are directly concerned with issues of participatory involvement in Information and Communication Technologies, and the Internet as we know it today.

Geschichte und Idee

[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

World-Information.Org is an agent of digital democratisation and the pursuit of digital human rights. Enlightening the opportunities, challenges and risks of information and communication technology, World-Information.Org provides information necessary for a democratic development of society, culture and politics. Under the patronage of the UNESCO, World-Information.Org serves to meet the needs and expectations of citizens for high quality and accessible services of cultural information and content.

Struktur und Organisation

[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

The World-Information Institute in Vienna is the carrier of World-Information.Org.

To provide a unique, publicly accessible knowledge base and an independent platform for the artistic heritage of the cultural future, World-Information.Org runs four agencies with multiple divisions and organization units: the Public Information Agency, the Future Heritage Foundation, the Global Communication Agency and the Information Systems Agency.

Future Heritage Foundation

[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

The Future Heritage Foundation builds a theoretical framework for the arts in the digital domain. Artists develop, create and present the art of things to come and thus future cultural heritage.

Global Communication Agency

[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

The Global Communication Agency scans the global info-structure, develops road-maps of the information highways and provides an overview of global cable, satellite, wireless, microwave and fibre-optic communication. These information road-maps identify the key players and their strategic interests as well as giving an introduction to the question of know-how, capital and technology on the planet.

Information Systems Agency

[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

The Information Systems Agency establishes a publicly accessible knowledge base of World-Information.Org on the World Wide Web.

Public Information

[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

The Public Information Agency mediates research results and digital artistic practice to a large international audience and promotes the "environmental protection" of the infosphere. It raises broad public awareness of information and communication technologies' increasing impacts on culture, society and politics.
