Preface:
Violence is an expression of speechlessness, of lack of communication. The best solution to eliminate violence and confrontation is looking for communicating, dialogue and networking, starting already in the smallest cell of society family, which lead in consequence to openness against the different, tolerance. A good example on the way to that represents the net based art project – http://www.a-virtual-memorial.org – Memorial project against the Forgetting and for Humanity. (by Agricola de Cologne, published as Article 20 in – Covenant of the Articles of Artistic Mediation on World Mediation Summit Washington 2002 )
