Response New Media & Art Institutions To Governmental Cuts. Dear Mr Zijlstra Dear Members of the House of Representatives One of the many decisions in your arts policy paper “More than quality; a new vision on arts policy”, is the liquidation of the total infrastructure for new media and art.
The media arts & technology sector, which has acquired a place in arts policy in the past 8 years, has been abolished. The socalled 'development institutions': STEIM, Waag Society, V2_, Submarine Channel, WORM and Mediamatic are losing their structural funding. In addition to that the Netherlands Media Art Institute, a visual arts institution which also works in the media arts field, loses its government funding. New media art is an independent art discipline The existance of new media as an independent art discipline, including artistic production, audiences, (inter)national networks, and events, is completely denied in this proposed new arts policy.

Although the Dutch New Media Culture sector is very successful, it too will get in serious problems when these plans will be executed. The Dutch e-culture institutes Mediamatic, Waag Society, WORM, STEIM, NIMK, V2 and Submarine Channel will lose ALL their government funding.

Alles wat streeft naar vernieuwing in andere zin dan als uitkomst van een soort Idols-achtige publiekspoll, kan de steun van het Rijk vergeten. Zou het de Christelijke invloed op de coalitie zijn? Lucas 19: 26: "Ik zeg u: aan wie heeft, zal gegeven worden en wie niet heeft, hem zal worden afgenomen zelfs wat hij heeft! " Of toch de liberale afstandelijkheid?
Thorbecke: "De regering is geen oordelaar over wetenschap en kunst. " De drie hierboven opgeroepen denkbeelden komen naadloos samen in de plannen die afgelopen vrijdag door staatssecretaris Zijlstra zijn ontvouwd – je kunt niet zeggen dat deze regering niet doet wat hij zegt. De zorg voor vernieuwing wordt aldus aan de markt gedelegeerd, dat wil zeggen aan de producenten, de makers. Voor het design lijkt er een lichtpuntje in deze afschaffing van op vernieuwing gericht, marktcompenserend cultuurbeleid zoals we dat sinds een halve eeuw kennen.
