This site was home to Culture Clash, a 2002 online artwork by Andrej Tisma. Based on comparison of two cultures -- the old Mesopotamian (Iraq) and modern American culture -- the photographs carried an implicit criticism of American militarism. Tisma juxtaposed ancient art with "smart" weapon, making an acerbic commentary on military intervention which ruins the historic sites and artifacts. The work anticipated the American attack on Iraq, foreshadowing the cultural damages that would occur. Since the free hosting site disappeared, Tisma's work has been moved to atisma.com/webart/Clash/cultureclash.htm
