The media / projection / installation and visual artists scene in Vienna is one of the most diverse and active in Europe. pooool offers a free online-archive and weblog specialized for vj’s. The content is syndicated and transfered via xml-rss-feeds to the portal systems of Apple iTunes and fireAnt. pooool is the first project of its kind, aimed at covering the growing need for visual content in major markets. pooool is also art and research oriented, collaborating closely with art universities, technical research departments and cultural institutions. Unique beyond a functional business and sales model is the newly developed copyright and utilization concept for visualists. An intellectual property protection and utilization society is planned to be coupled with the pooool-label, creating a lasting link between creatives, culture, economy and the public.
This implementation is an essential component of the visualist association pooool.
