I have a question for those interested in Horizon2020. Here at the Institute of Network Cultures in Amsterdam we want to play an active role in a larger grant. However, for a variety of reasons we cannot initiate a consortium ourselves (chicken egg situation etc.). We’re not big enough, no experience, not a research university etc. However, would some of you be interested to discuss this with us?

Our agenda and approach might be known for some of you (www.networkcultures.org). These days we’re deep into digital publishing experiments (e-pub and beyond) through our www.publishinglab.nl. We’re also focussed on the future of art criticism and the role of European internet critic in society, the net art critic etc. And of course MoneyLab and all critical topics related to blockchain, cryptocurrencies, crowdfunding etc. We’re also still active in the field of alternatives in social media, aesthetics of online video and search engine research.

We politely refuse all projects related to Big Data (as there are already enough of them). Our passion is internet critique and media theory at large. And art and activism, of course, as we’re based in a radical pragmatist country… Who’s interested?
