The cool real time online collaborative tool for artists: Google Wave
What is Google Wave ?
In short, Lars Rasmussen explains it here: "A "wave" is equal parts conversation and document, where people can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.
Here's how it works: In Google Wave you create a wave and add people to it. Everyone on your wave can use richly formatted text, photos, gadgets, and even feeds from other sources on the web. They can insert a reply or edit the wave directly. It's concurrent rich-text editing, where you see on your screen nearly instantly what your fellow collaborators are typing in your wave. That means Google Wave is just as well suited for quick messages as for persistent content — it allows for both collaboration and communication. You can also use "playback" to rewind the wave and see how it evolved. "
As we are looking for such a tool, to think, to work, to display, to present together, together via state borders and oceans and systems for a long time, it is cool to think before the public launch, about what kind of future possibilities there are with Google Wave for Artists.

About Irina Gabiani
After studying at the Academy in
The Universe in its holistic essence is the focus of the research of the artist according to whom we all belong to a unique system, to a "big organism" imagined as a kind of complex, interrelated chain, of which we, and everything around us, are a part.
Trying to see beyond what we can perceive with our eyes, going beyond the vision of the world as we use to know, the artist researches the innumerable similarities between the infinitely big and the infinitely small within matter. The two "worlds" look as though they mirror one another. The more we know matter and understand its complexity which escapes us at a simple glance, the more the infinitely small leads us to the universe. For this reason, especially in her recent works, images of the micro and macro universes appear one next to the other and, sometimes, the images from the micro exceed the dimension of those from the macro. Discovering infinite worlds within our every-day surroundings leads the artist to believe that there are other parallel realities in time and space.
In her works, Irina uses drawing, painting, photography and sculpture, often in porcelain or ceramics.
Her works have been shown in Italy, United Kingdom, France, Spain, Portugal, The Netherlands, Luxembourg, Finland, Sweden, Estonia, Georgia, Russia and Australia.
