While in the Past many projects were realised by Agricola de Cologne independently from each other, and there was therefore only a limited coordination among the different project platforms,artvideoKOELN has the function to work as the operating system for all current and future projects and keep the past projects running and preserved for The New Museum of Networked Art.
