construct and interact with physical robots, virtual worlds, digital fairy tales,
and multimedia art projects.

HISTORY
- How It Began
-
CRASH.ORG was founded in Houston, Texas in 1994. Our original focus on was actual meetings
in real physical places. Over the years our founding members spread out over the US to
pursue commercial and educational opporunities. Today our collaboration is primary organized
on the Net, with occasionally physical meetings as time and locality permit. Our focus is
now on the virtual, which we find a natural fit for this brand new millennium. :-)
