Programme of the Zapping event

PhobiaMuseum
PhobiaMuseum.net / Rita Leppiniemi (Internet) Finland
www.phobiamuseum.net
A playful net project about exaggerated and illogical fears.
"PhobiaMuseum.net started as an idea at the Science Museum in London, where I realized that our technology (and increasing knowledge) has created a fear for things (not a proofed theory of course). PhobiaMuseum.net is divided into five main categories: space, animals, faith, diseases and intimacy. The sixth part will become a place where contributions by viewers can be experienced. Since PhobiaMuseum.net is an online project there will be constantly changes and developments."
