Multicultural videos: an interactive online museum based on an international artistic video database

ABSTRACT

Multicultural Videos (MCV), www.multiculturalvideos.org, is an Interactive Online Museum based on an Online Video Database developed by an International Community of Artists from many creative disciplines and cultural heritage. MCV is an online space where people share, create, learn and promote culture, arts, cultural heritage and self-expressions through on-line videos. The project is designed initially to support two vibrant applications: a Virtual Video Gallery to collect Multicultural Heritage & a Collaborative Video Festival titled "Art Without Borders: The Babel Remix", about similarities and differences on creative processes around the World.
