International Conference on Social Networking in the Cultural Domain was organized in the frame of .chance) project and took place on 18th of December 2010 in Aix-en-Provence, France.
The main topic of this meeting was: how can the cultural community benefit from the recent boom of the social networking tools?
Artistic creation and cultural production has become dependent on the use of on-line social networks where basically anyone can remotely and for free collaborate, co-produce, discuss and learn as well as teach and guide one another. Given these new communication possibilities, a growing number of creative individuals and intercultural operators can innovate to produce excellent creative content and offer high-quality cultural services often with enormous social and environmental relevance and impact.
The event brought together international experts from the social networking domain, who shared their experience, views and ideas on the employing of the rise of the social networking tools in the cultural field for effectively announcing, managing, circulating and bringing visibility to cultural operators, groups of artists as well as creative individuals, across all sectors and regions.
.chance project itself focuses on different aspects of web technologies, social networking and web 2.0, with special impact on their future development. The main objective of the project is to harmonize and utilize the best of current social networking technologies in order to stimulate the intercultural dialogue with concrete artistic and cultural results.

Below is an abstract of my presentation "New artistic cartography: visualizing new media art activities in Central Eastern Europe" performed during above described conference.
Central Eastern Europe (CEE) hidden for ages behind Iron Curtain in many aspects is still undiscovered hybrid build out of past and present. Similarly local new media art (NMA) is a tangle of historical and political dependencies mixed with current global influences (e.g. networked society, high technologies). Very dynamic specificity of this region additionally blurs wider view on CEE NMA activities. In result big amounts of data and facts connected with this topic go unused simply because people can’t see relationships between them and visualize its quantities.
Trying to face this issue I established sketch project called CEEMAC2000+: Central East European Media Art Chart (2000-now). CEEMAC2000+ in its concept is meant to be a collaborative interactive map which could be able to present most of networks, dependencies, connections between art centers, projects and people which focus on local NMA development. CEEMAC2000+ aims to collect, share and present big amount of data in non- linear, clear and visually attractive way, simply to create new artistic cartography.
