Webism is an international art movement. The "Webism Group of Worldwide Artists" was brought to life by Pygoya, USA and Ingrid Kamerbeek, Germany after their 2003 "1st European Real Life Art Tour". Webism not only is a virtual community but far more beyond an idea - the idea of creating art collaboratively without borders in time or space. Moreover Webism also carries the idea to bring together humans from all over the world more deeply and thus promoting global understanding.
