(...) Zeitgenossen (translates in English as "the contemporaries") move around in cyberspace, shaping possibilities, creating spaces, voices, emotions. (...) The world is a stage resting on components of content while formal and aesthetic appearance is not an end in itself. The appeal of these works of art lies in the perception of possibilities which are now available with the appropriate software and net strategies. At times, sentences such as: "The scope of vision determines the amount of freedom" read like manifestos. (..) Ursula Hentschlaeger's word formations and Zelko Wiener's picture strata may always have had common features but they are now enriching each other as they interact. This is one of the rare instances where equivalent contributions to a work do not work against but rather reinforce each other. (...).

(...)Whoever looks into the project will find a collection of ideas relating to the notion of ”information”, in which the theory that supports it is made into a theme, like it is in quantenphysics or cybernetics. Contributions and comments from many authors, representing a wide scope of interests, make the idea into an inter-disciplinary discussion. (...)

Mental framework used by and for Zeitgenossen (...) As far as media is concerned, in short, print media and books tell a story, the theater and film show things, cyberspace represents. The Zeitgenossen with their webtrilogy, not only create a virtual mental framework, they also manage to make the screen disappear and touch the onlooker/participant.
