Orchesterzentrum|NRW, Dortmund

Hosted by Virtueel Platform
Moderated by Cathy Brickwood and Annette Wolfsberger (nl)

The new media cultural sector is seen as a source of transformation not just within culture and the arts but for society as a whole. To what extent does this hold true and what stumbling blocks does the sector face? This meeting will examine how the relationship between electronic culture and the broader cultural sector is changing, and how commercial and non-commercial/cultural organisations interrelate.
What is the role of local, national and transnational government in supporting new media culture anno 2010?

At ISEA2010 Virtueel Platform will organise a meeting to investigate the opportunties for innovative policy making in this field.
