The development of this project began in the year 2000, when artists from Germany and the United states collaborated together to form the first whatisart.org collective to pursue cross-cultural and multi disciplined collaborations producing What Is Art? and What Is Sound? Examining Art and Sound through Technology and Tradition. 

​

This exhibition brought together the 13 countries where What Is Art -What Is Sound Art collectives lived. 200 artists from 13 countries traveled to Luisen, Park, Mannheim, Germany to meet for the very first time and to exhibit together.  Feel free to look through the various phases of our project. Together we were one. This work I co-founded would later be taken to New York University where I initiated my Masters in Visual Art Administration in 2006.
