"...visualization of man in data space - visual self-reflection - human-meaning data translation..."

Universal Companionship Organization
is a group of artists exploring issues of art, philosophy, science, and technology. Located in Europe and Israel, the UCO artists are seeking to expand their organization by this open invitation to artists and Web programmers everywhere:

"This is an invitation to visit the UCO site and exhibition, to contribute art works, ideas, and skills, and to join UCO's artistic R&D team. People who wish to set up UCO Satellite exhibitions are most welcome."

"The TRAVELER will see himself as part of the virtual world and experience tele-presence -- by seeing himself and the other viewers communicating in a virtual environment."
