<nettime> New Media Art Organisations in Netherlands lose funding

[LORENZO TAIUTI <md3169@mclink.it>]

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 allowed a great amount of experiences that have contributed
to shape contemporary art and media, as well as new music, new
comunications, inter/relationships with other cultures, etc...

V2, Waag, Mediamatic, Steim, Nimk, Balie etc.. (and all the Universities'
work related to them!) really defined concepts and structures of extreme
modernity.

This important platform of thought and actions has produced the most
interesting and stimulating experiences.

We must find a way to show the dutch government to defend their outstanding
cultural work and defend those important achievements.
