*infomercial* The unexpected happened: artist Constant Dullaart is very close to reaching his 30.000 euro goal on kickstarter. He is now at about 25.000 with only 20 hours to go. Dullaart has developed a video player for art installations under

The link to the article on Rhizome is missing in my previous mail. Here it is: http://rhizome.org/editorial/2015/sep/29/dulltech/ One more quote from the article: "In addition to being a convenient product that "just works," because of Dullaart's documentation of the manufacturing process in

[spectre] Review of The Telepathic Place

I wrote a review of David Blair's exhibition at the MUHKA in August, but due to editor's holidays and other inconveniences it was never published. A great shame, because this is an exhibition that is very much worthwhile. I sincerely hope Blair will get the chance to work in similar

Unfortunately I do not have the time to go into debate about most of the presumptions and insinuations in Julian Oliver's text. Let me just say it seems written from prejudice rather than knowledge. Prejudice about how funding bodies work, for example. To simply call them 'the state' or

The state most certainly does have a hand in how this funding is allotted, as you've just seen in the Netherlands. Unlike the Judicial System, culture and the funding of it is not separated from the state and its interests. What happened in NL is that the government put the advice of the

The following was read at a gathering today about the future of the arts in NL at the Stedelijk. Fifty years ago, against the backdrop of war and a growing consumer society, Hannah Arendt wrote The Crisis in Culture: It's Social and It's Political Significance. Seeing the cultural realm

Just a quick and final response before getting on my way: I totally agree with Andreas that we should not make this a battle for media art alone. That said, what is striking in this new policy is the division of the arts into (literally called in the policy) 'pearls' that will keep their

[spectre] juxtaposing

hello all, I realized this week that I had completely forgotten to respond to Esther Polak's request for examples of alternative symposium models. Yesterday would have been the best time to finally sit down and talk about it, but unfortunately I was very busy. One of the things I had

hello al, I would like to second Susanne's call for some self-reflection on the side of the authors of the juxtaposium proposal. I respect and admire the work of most of you (juxtaposium authors, I just don't know Baruch Gottlieb), but I think this proposal completely misses its mark.
