The animations will be part of a multimedia installation along with documentaries, experimental films, and video and multimedia works. After the Mall management changed its mind about having the show, Ms. Kaufman lined up a new venue: the 3,000 square foot library at the Atlanta College of Art's Woodruff Arts Center. The move from the Mall may lose ACT a few sports fans, but puts the installation closer to a museum, a symphony hall and many Olympicsrelated arts and cultural events. Engineered and designed by ACT's Howard Weiner and David Miller, the installation has the sponsorship of Shaw Ross Importers & Distributors (fine wine & spirits) of Miami, Florida.

The Olympic selections will also be part of ACT's most ambitious postOlympics project: supplying the content for soontobeinstalled StreetSmart kiosks in NYC. Twenty-five percent of ACT's contribution will be animation, the other 75% a mix of videos, documentaries and other artsrelated material. The first five kiosks will be at City Hall and the Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx and Staten Island borough halls. Ultimately there will be 50 throughout town, their material tailored to different cultures and available in several languages. People will be able to mail order the animations they see from the kiosks. ACT will also raise revenues for future projects by selling kiosk advertising. The idea, says Iva Kaufmann, is to create a new revenue stream for arts funding --to funnel forprofit money into nonprofit projects. If successful, the kiosks will be displayed in other cities. The animations will also appear at Studio 64, a spacious artsoriented meeting place scheduled to open in New York's Chelsea district in August.

Nationally, ACT has lined up postOlympics sites for the Atlanta reel in Chicago, Washington, D.C., Miami and San Francisco, and is scouting other major US cities. Internationally, the selections will be shown at the Beijing Train Station, and other large public spaces in Asia and Europe. They may also eventually appear on the Web; both Friendship Ambassadors Foundation and ACT plan to have websites up and running this fall. ACT material has been and will continue to be part of the EarthPledge (http://www.earthpledge.org/) and EarthChannel (http://www.earthchannel.com/) sites.
