I am not very good at politics but those Dutch institutions
are part of European programs/projects with other European
(new media) art institutions. If they have to reduce their
activities or even shut down because their fundings are cut,
this means they won't be able to fulfill their part in t

Heiko is realistic. Politicians are able to make these changes if they think
they can. That's a function of their electoral security (not the same thing
as a mandate).
Unless what a government is doing is illegal I don't see how the courts can
help. As the UK doesn't fully recognise the European C

Hi
The New Media Art Organisations funding in Netherlands has ben since more then
20 years a model for working in art and media and with many issues central to
contemporary art, and showing how necessary is the Istitution's presence in a
full development of cultural reasearch.
This model has a

I have just returned from the Netherlands (in residence at STEIM, which is one

Just a quick and final response before getting on my way:
I totally agree with Andreas that we should not make this a battle
