These artists are very differents, some of them make art with computers, some of then have never used a computes. The conference is 6 hours long ( yes 6 hours ). So i ask you for links of sites related to art. It may be something like web-side or something simple.

I don't know what's your planning, but there is a big difference between art and new media (new technology as a new tool) and art in general.
You can focus in artists that use the web to promote their work or you can go beyond (risk) and talk about electronic arts (different approach).

I built a website that helps art galleries maintain their online artist portfolios and exhibits. The site is at www.GalleryDriver.com. What's really powerful about GalleryDriver is that a gallery can actaully use our online tool to maintain their own site's content. As an example, check out the exhibits at TinManAlley.net. All of their exhibits are maintained with the GalleryDriver tools, and they call a couple of web services to get their data.
