Re: futurlab hungary

Hi Janos
It seems there is lots of bad news coming from Budapest
these days but I wonder which part of this is worse...

I am wild guessing mostly for Chinese students?
It is a public university with good reputation from what it seems
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fudan_University
hence it is strange that it goes abroad to do a campus...
via Hungarian government and local tax payers?
Would it be private and paid or free and subsidised?

Sorry if this sounds strange to ask about this
but I am curious on what is the essential difference
to other similar historic and contemporary efforts.

futurlab hungary

[János Sugár]

Title: futurlab hungary


Hungary's parliament passed legislation on Tuesday setting up
foundations to take over the running of universities and cultural
institutions in a move critics say extends the ideological imprint of
the ruling right-wing government.
Orban's Fidesz party, which has a two-thirds majority in
parliament, voted for the legislation on Tuesday.
His government will appoint boards of trustees to run the foundations,
which will control substantial real estate assets and benefit from
billions of euros worth of EU funds, while also having considerable
influence over universities' everyday life

The Hungarian government is planning to build a Budapest campus
of the Chinese Fudan University with Chinese contractors, financed by
a ¤1.25 billion loan from China, it emerged this month.

Love in the Time of Crypto-Art

[Eric Barry Drasin]

Hello Nettime,

I wanted to forward an article I just posted about Crypto-Art and NFTs.

"Love in the Time of Crypto-Art"
https://eric-drasin.medium.com/love-in-the-time-of-crypto-art-b124b1da1653

I have been working in the space for quite some time now and have a
specific perspective informed by my work and experience. I just completed
my MFA at the University at Buffalo where I was focusing on these issues,
and will soon be a PhD candidate at the University of Colorado Boulder in
the Media Studies department.

Cheers
Eric Barry Drasin
