This workshop, set up by the network experts of the Ars Electronica Center, Oliver Frommel and Thomas Weber, will throw light on the background and theory of the Internet applications IRC, MOO and MUD, which for many people are still a mystery. However the central emphasis here is on a wide-ranging practical approach to these text-based virtual reality systems. Numbers restricted to 16 persons per workshop.
