Summary/Abstract: Defying the pessimistic vision heralding the end of the cinema, culture and art, Giżycki points to the Internet as a new manner in which man communes with art, both as its vehicle and a medium of presentation. Giżycki writes about such multimedia projects as Peter Greenaway’s giant "Tulse Luper Suitcases" but first of all focuses on animation that has dominated film production on the Internet. The U.S. projects discussed by Giżycki are animated series for adults (“Mr. Wong” and “Queer Duck”) or political satires (“This Land” by Gregg and Evan Spiridellis, Jason Windsor’s “The End of the World”). Giżycki points out that Russia is also an active centre of satire. Mariusz Wilczyński is one of Polish animated film artists.
