Culture Policies 1918—2011: A Century of Politics, Culture, and Cultural Policy in the Netherlands In 1918 the Ministry of Education, Arts, and Sciences is founded. The word policy has not entered the arena yet; instead we speak of government aid. Pillarization (the political segregation of Dutch society based on religion and ideology) is charging forth at full speed, and the Netherlands is learning to cope with new techniques for information dissemination available to the country since the turn of the century. These techniques – film, radio – signal the coming of mass or entertainment society, and are met with suspicion. Although the various pillars try to keep their adherents from all that is harmful and wicked, the upholding of morality is seen as a task for the government. In 1926 the Cinema Law is passed, followed by a mandate in 1930 that states the government can impose preventive censorship on radio broadcasts – a right that is called on frequently in the 30s. It is in this period from 1918 to 1938, the Interbellum, that the cultural policy as we know it now, is founded. After a failed attempt to establish a national radio association, the Airtime Mandate (1930) dictates how much airtime the four largest radio associations, AVRO, KRO, NCRV, and Vara, are to receive. This is not only a prime example of the pillarization of the Netherlands, but also of the character of the cultural policy: diverse and localized. A remarkable side note is that one of the first steps undertaken by the German occupation, was the establishing of De Nederlandse Omroep (The Netherlands Broadcasting). DNO was dismantled shortly after the liberation, allowing the four broadcasting associations to continue their separate paths. However, another development did set through: while before the German occupation radio associations were completely dependent upon funds obtained through membership fees, during the occupation radio became a government expenditure. The relationship between municipality and the state also became clear during the Interbellum. While provincial funds were nowhere to be seen, larger cities willingly subsidized theatre halls. Theatre, surely, formed a welcome source of income for municipalities. Orchestras, libraries, and to a certain extent also city museums (between 1920 and 1940 the Netherlands gained more than 100 museums), were confronted with matching subsidies: if the municipality or province invested in culture, central government would too. In 1920 the municipality of Amsterdam invested in a support fund for visual artists, and in 1935 the Facility Fund was erected, providing temporary financial support to visual artists and composers. While the state did contribute to these funds, most of the money was provided by municipalities and affiliated artist unions. Local responsibility and cultural awareness preceded state accountability. That was – until the German invasion. During the occupation the broadcasting budget became a state matter: everyone who owned a radio payed an obligatory broadcast contribution. The founding of the Nederlandsche Kultuurkamer (Netherlands Culture Chamber) resulted in a national employment agreement for affiliated musicians and stage actors. Lastly, cinema, theatre, and dance were added to the state expenditures. State support had its disadvantages though: there was quite a lot of censorship, and not only did the state meddle substantially more in cultural affairs, it also acted as propagandist. Artists rebelled, and plans were formed for a nationwide Arts Council. The council was to attain a similar standing as the parliament. In 1947 the Council was put into effect. Despite high hopes, it fulfilled merely an advisory role in the field of artistic assessment. The trend kickstarted during the occupation, continued after the liberation. Gerardus van der Leeuw, the first postwar minister of Education, Arts and Sciences, maintained the same culture budget as during the occupation. Van der Leeuwen had payed close attention to how culture had been instrumentalized by Nazi Germany, and realized that culture not only served a national interest, but also constituted a national interest. A cultural policy was implemented that transcended pillars. The sciences were cut loose from culture (in 1965 the ministry was divided into the Ministry of Education and Sciences, and the Ministry of Culture, Recreation and Social Work), and the arts were

From Self-Organizing Towards Progressive Cultural Policies embedded into the field of ‘after-school curriculum’. Culture was to free the Netherlands from the postwar moral and cultural wasteland it found itself in. In the 60s and 70s more and more public money was spent on cultural heritage and the arts, facilities considered essential to a social state. The diverse character of the cultural policy we detected in the 1930s, had shifted from becoming manifest in its acceptance of the various pillars, to manifesting itself through a focus on a diversity of lifestyles, subcultures, and minority groups. The cultural policy is a policy of dissemination; community projects become central. The number of subsidized symphony orchestras, (youth) theatre groups, and dance companies increases exponentially. Between 1910 and 1946 state expenditures on culture multiply tenfold. Between 1950 and 1975 that amount doubles every five years. In 2002 politicians urge the state to set apart 1% of the state budget for culture. Seven years later the expenditures for culture and media amount to a total of 1.8 billion euros, hitting the 1% target. Of that amount, 533 million is set aside for cultural subsidies, amounting to 0,3% of the state budget. Then, in the 2010 elections, right-wing parties VVD (People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy) and PVV (Party for Freedom) emerge as the royal victors. It takes until the end of September to reach a governing agreement, and once finalized it presents the arts with a grim prospect: in the period up to 2012, the cultural sector will be cut by 200 million euros. The VAT on cultural services is set to be raised from 6 percent to 19 percent, and the artist employment aid WWIK will be terminated as of 2012. The shadow cabinet objects. For many parties the arts are still an inherent part of a healthy society, and should therefore be exempt from market forces. ‘A creative society challenges people to keep developing,’ according to the SP (Socialist Party). ‘Art and culture can signal new hope and creativity’. The ChristianUnion argues the arts play a role in the forming of a ‘community identity’ and that ‘contemporary art and culture should perform a central role in society’. For D66 (Democrats ‘66) quality is the highest priority; art and culture makes up ‘the DNA of the society D66 envisions’. The cultural sector is shocked and outraged. According to The Council of Culture, art provides inspiration and insights ‘into the meaning of life’. Art makes ‘an invaluable contribution to future prosperity and welfare’. But above al, and completely in line with the history of the Dutch cultural policy, they state: ‘Every culture is hybrid and pluralistic. People play different roles in society, and to those roles belong different stories’. But what does the ruling government say? The government argues the arts should be more autonomous, meaning less dependent on state funding. Also, there is not enough attention for the audience, and for entrepreneurship. Artists and cultural institutions should acquire a larger part of their income themselves. More independence would mean more flexibility and power. Over 50 percent of the cuts will be made to the basic cultural infrastructure. These are the institutions and funds that receive direct funding from the state. Many organizations and institutions will, at once, lose a big part of their income, which makes reorganizing difficult, if not impossible. With this in mind, the Council for Culture has proposed the cuts be made in phases. It advised to review the cuts every year, in order to see if the cultural industry thrives in a free market. Additionally, the Council advised to build in a transitional period of two years to avoid irreparable damage. Since this approach doesn’t fit into the government’s four-year system, and leads to an increase in administrative costs, the government has disregarded this advice. The new infrastructure will be implemented on 1 January 2013. This gives cultural institutions a year to make the necessary changes. The government believes that the basic cultural infrastructure should be smaller, and that the development of talent, innovation, and small-scale initiatives should be secured through the funds. Small initiatives will be forced to work together, with the danger of them becoming less flexible, less decisive, less innovative. The ‘excellent’ institutions, the large, established museums, will not only be spared, but will receive longer-term subsidies. In order to keep receiving their subsidy, museums own income will have to make up 17,5 percent of their total budget. If this target is not reached, they will no longer receive funding for public activities. The funding that remains will have to go to the conservation and management of their collections. The Council for Culture had the difficult task of developing a future scenario for each sector. Despite their brave attempt, the government has chosen for a different interpretation of the cuts. Production is considered most important. Institutes for support and development are going to be cut exponentially, some institutes losing their funding altogether. Furthermore, the government will merge a number of funds. Funding for architecture, design, and new media, now in the hands of three different funds, will be united in one large fund for the Creative Industries. The creative industries will still
receive funding because they contribute to economic development. Over the last few years, the Council has brought to the fore some of the problems present in the subsidized cultural sector. One of the main problems was the fragmentation of the sector, leading to a lack of effectivity and impact. Ten years ago, the, then, Secretary of State, noted that the ‘dominance of specialists and the safe haven of subsidy have hampered the dynamics in the subsidized culture’. However, not only economist have hinted at the drawbacks of excessive dependence on subsidies, and the accompanying low-risk environment; the cultural sector itself has argued more than once for more efficiency and cooperation, and has expressed the wish for a larger degree of entrepreneurship. Indeed, reinventing oneself and rethinking one’s position can only lead to better output. According to the government, merely addressing these problems isn’t sufficient – they have to be tackled. The government states it is thinking about the future of the creative sector, imagining one that is entrepreneurial and innovative. A cultural sector that is as creative in achieving and holding onto a new audience as it is in offering quality. However, although the state claims to want to stimulate entrepreneurship, its actions seem to speak otherwise. For instance, the VAT on cultural services like theatre tickets will be raised from 6 percent to 19 percent. This and other measures hinder cultural entrepreneurship and impede incentives. VVD and PVV strategically portray the country as being divided into a left, cultural elite on the one hand, and the ‘commoners’ on the other. The latter can finally, after years of oppression, voice their opinion. Populism is skyrocketing and the polarization of society increasing. Despite the attempts to disable the cultural sector, however, new opportunities will arise, collaborations formed, and ideas executed. When nothing is possible, everything is possible.
The diversification of cultural production has been changed into a corporatization of culture that is based on private interest and subsumption of sociality as such. “This cultural production strategy is significantly turning to the political right”1. It has become an orthodoxy to think of culture and economy as operating together in a very general sense – this is blatantly expressed in arts and business funding opportunities for cultural activity, as well as in so-called “enterprise culture”2, but more and more in cultural production as such. The process of regulating cultural policies is actually an integral part of the capitalist apparatus. Still, in the landscape of regulated European cultural policies and mostly capital-led cultural production, art and culture need to re-gain their role of legitimizing general social values.

In the field of arts and culture, there should be more concrete examples of individualinstitutional structural cooperation, which is fostered from both sides. Inevitably this discussion would have to include artists, independent art initiatives, art and cultural institutions, educational institutions, and media representatives, as well as social, economic and political researchers, in order to raise massive public debate about this matter. However, before that discussion can take place, a certain level of self-organizing has to be achieved, since during the 1990s, the state based association of artists from socialist Yugoslavia eroded into formal, non-functional and “existing just on paper” organizations.

Site-Specific Conflict Policies It seems like in Serbia, there are awkward similarities between the attitude towards cultural production present in the predatory breakthrough of neoliberal capitalism and the state’s awareness of the necessity of a good and functional cultural policy. There is a concrete example of conflict led politics and copyright law penetration into the region that is visible within the process of European Union integration on May the 1st 2004. “The copyright industry has claimed that some East European countries have an economic interest in copyright infringement and that they do not have the will to enforce Intellectual Property laws that will be damaging to them economically.” That was the excuse for the EU to finish a new intellectual property directive by accession time, “so that East European countries won’t have an opportunity to participate in its design”3. We should start from the point of view that copyright regulations, ownership and the modes of the distribution of cultural products is a centrally important part of the regulation of the cultural field and they should be discussed.
pieces of the cake” to hundreds of institutions, in order to maintain the status quo. In contrast to that, the major structural funds will still be provided through international public funds based on extremely regulated cultural policies. Still, there are examples and there is the conviction that a certain level of self-organization and self-management of artists-individuals around similar, recognized interests could present foundations for much stronger associations that could significantly influence mainstream policies. Recently, there have been many proposals for a more specific tactic of “anti-culture” or subversive art and cultural production that also has a good chance of being universally understood. It seems that it is “no longer enough to incorporate some actualities in the artistic statements, than rather to detonate, challenge those actualities”5.

In Serbia, the cultural field is often neglected without the need to reconsider any of the existing aspects of commercial or non-profit cultural production. On the other hand, social, educational and economic programs are progressing much faster, gaining the role of more important, legitimate and more relevant aspects of contemporary society. In Serbia, economic reforms are run through cooperation with the IMF (International Monetary Fund) and similar organizations that partly secure “financial stability, facilitate international trade and promote high employment and sustainable economic growth”4. It’s very difficult to expect that in the cultural field, anything other than a well regulated “enterprise culture” would be welcome.

Almost all state funded and independent cultural organizations in Serbia primarily operate with a microscopic impact and on a short-term basis with regard to mutual cooperation, collaborative production, funding and international networks. There are some independent cultural institutions whose primary activity is art production, but which deal at the same time with rather informal ways of art production and education, successfully connecting those two fields. On the other hand, these institutions are actually performing the role one would expect of state funded institutions, but they stay precarious and culturally and economically marginalized.

In order to influence the future planning of more structural cultural policies, there is a need for more constructive cooperation between independent organizations and governmental agencies. In the past, this cooperation was realized occasionally and on a short-term bases, with a lack of a more structural cooperation. This model of cooperation/support is feasible and viable, if there are common interests and an awareness of its importance, necessity and potential.

The Emptying Out of Notions: Notion One – A Decent Politics
The scary Nothing from the Neverending Story, a famous movie of the eighties, has been frightening me since my teenage years. Emptiness is a phenomenon that has chased about the modern Western Civilization since it stepped away from its cradle. Empty spaces arouse anxiety in us. Manufacturing various items and covering surfaces with patterns are ways to cope with our horror vacui. In general, we consider emptying out to be a negative phenomenon when it comes to values, meanings or senses. During the 20th century, there was an ambivalent attitude towards the Emptiness in the Western Civilization – attempts were made consistently to impair and ironize the values of its predecessors. The Emptiness was appealing to people in a sense of freedom – there has been enough patterns and fandangle, getting rid of all the adornments was so refreshing. However, they were still conscious of the Phantom of the Emptiness waiting patiently in the underground of the Opera to pick his reward when his time was to come. Getting over the horror vacui can be a vehicle of cultural movement – a source of cultural products and situations – but it can also lead our evolutionary way to a homo consumericus. A certain part within the history of the Emptiness is a notion that’s been temporarily or locally emptied out even before their meaning was supported in reality. These are the terms so often used (or overused?) by specialists and the media. Maybe, they are only insufficiently supported by particular examples or actions. As the general public is unable to make any sense of them, they have become totally vague and void. In Slovakia, the “Cultural Politics” has become one of those notions. Although notorious, the notion itself is half-empty and its credit has been on the decline all the time. A similar fate as the “Cultural Politics” has been faced by another somewhat more general notion – the ”vision” (When having visions you are considered a crackpot today) or the “advancement” (What century are you living in?). On the way to become emptied out and even before realizing all the absolutely essential things that simply must be done, the notion of “public space” and I think the “creative industry” too, are soon to be included. Why is it so that the institutions of the public administration in Slovakia are so little interested in the Cultural Politics? Discussions on the necessity of conceptual Cultural Politics the culture-makers have constantly tried to induce are perceived as cliché. Long before any real dialogue and cooperation began… According to Zora Jaurová, a political culture specialist, even a conscious unwillingness of government to support culture can be considered a type of political culture. However, let’s state the rules first and don’t pretend there is one single politician who wants to support culture! The evidence speaks clearly – the Cultural Politics at governmental and regional levels in our country has failed. Politicians don’t have any visions and don’t believe in any development. They are just looking for more words they can add into their rhetoric and will carry on using repeatedly until they become empty once again. Dystrophic thoughts of the future are something I am familiar with. I am a child of the Western civilization not living in a quiet empty room with a window to the East. Maybe this is why I’m afraid of seeing empty cultural facilities in the future… cities with no vivid places where people can meet in order to enjoy and build culture. Private parts of cities owned by mega-corporations smartly imitating public spaces in order to entice the public with the commodities they offer. The efforts of the very same subjects to “beautify” public spaces are in fact advertisements intended to draw attention to them. If we let useful notions become emptied out, refuse or will be unable to support their meaning, then they will instantly be seized by someone power-ambitious who will keep using and exploiting them… until the words poison everyone.
Culture Policy Culture Policy in Hungary in Poland After the political turn in 1989–1990, the shaping of cultural policy in Hungary was based on two main sources: the national traditions from before Communism and modern western examples. The establishment of the agency for financing cultural projects called the National Cultural Fund (NKA, 1993) was an important sign of change. During the first few years, this transition took place amidst great economic difficulties. By the time, the change of system had been completed and the new setup was consolidated, world-wide recession prevented the government from spending more on culture. The protracted process of joining the European Union – which took place in May 2004 – was a major factor in shaping cultural policy in Hungary. During the past decade, public cultural spending was usually above the European average.The continued marked trend of decentralization was manifested with growth in the cultural spending of local governments; between 2002 and 2007 it grew by about 80%, when the cumulated inflation was less than 40%. Within public spending on culture, the proportion between central and local governments became 1:3. Against this favorable background, however, a huge deficit accumulated in the state budget (as well as in the balance of trade and payments). This led to a set of revisions since 2006. As one of the first steps, the culture ministry which was a separate entity between 1998 and 2006 (the Ministry for National Cultural Heritage) merged once again with the Ministry of Education (2006–2010). In the latest restructuring, the highest level of cultural administration became a state secretariat in the Ministry of National Resources in 2010. Reorganization and fusion of institutions, as well as staff cuts, took place in the entire public system of culture. The records of the State Treasury indicate a slight relative decrease in the share of the state budget allocated to culture in the first few years. On the other hand, after modest investments in culture through the Phare program, devised for financial assistance by the European Union to would be member countries; as well as from the EU-supported 1st National Development Plan in 2004–2006, the New Hungary Development Plan – the national framework program for 2007–2013 – financed through the European Structural Funds, contains important cultural investment and human development components exploiting the educational potential of culture. By the end of 2010 most of these projects were under way.

Culture politics in Poland in many places, especially in small towns is still based on structures imposed, dictated when Poland was deeply stuck in Socialist Realism. The only one and true vision, simple, not innovative, etc., rigid rules were treating culture institutions, and it’s hard to get out of narrow-minded visions. Although, people working in culture institutions see the problem and try to get out of the frames their fight seems to be lost. Many general managers, general directors are afraid of change, unfavorable to new solutions, new ideas, creativity of their employees. They don’t want to hear out their employees. Plus there appear problems with clerks, bureaucracy, tons of papers, filling the right/wrong forms, deadlines and lack of understanding from different sides (authorities, community, other employees, etc.). The problem is lack of money for the projects, renovations, development, research, proper conditions of storage, efficient promotion, etc. People working in culture want to learn more, know more, they want to improve themselves and the way the culture institutions work. There is a lot of passion – maybe that’s why there are created postgraduate studies, studies’ specializations, courses, just to teach how to manage the culture and it’s institutions. I have the feeling that Poland doesn’t appreciate what it has, it’s not quite aware of the potential, possibilities and talents of Polish artists, managers, etc. But on the other hand there’s a lot going on in music, new media, film, theater and other art fields and it’s definitely noticed in the world. And that’s encouraging, because culture is alive no matter what happens, and it seems like it defends itself, because people who work in it care about it a lot. It would be easier if the authorities understood their point of view and support properly their actions. There is another thing: commercialization and omnipresent consumption which kill inner needs, which make people to live fast and shallow lives and to forget about spiritual needs. It’s the problem of the whole modern world – and it’s all about finding a niche to get to the recipient and disseminate culture. Text by Angelika Gromotka (a PR manager of Asso-

Organic Data Visualization: Mapping Amsterdam’s cultural life with slime-mold Workshop Data visualization, intelligent design and art. During the Bio Data Visualization Workshop hosted by artists Sonja Bäumel and Maurizio Montalti at Mediamatic, participants engaged with slime-mold and made use of its cognitive skills in order to discover new patterns in the city, and create an organic map of Amsterdam’s cultural life. Re-exploring and re-connecting Amsterdam’s cultural hubs. Data visualizations are changing the way people find and experience stories, the world of data taking on ever-changing shapes and characters. They help communicate complex ideas in clear, compact and beautiful way, take data and present it in visual shorthand. Data visualizations are usually made by usage of elaborated software programs and statistics. What happens when we exchange the computer program to an intelligent organism? Slime-molds are neither plants nor animals; their development cycle is unique. In it’s growth process the slime-mold is able to locate the smartest route between food sources and spread out accordingly. At the University of West-England, researchers constructed an agar-map of the UK by placing oat flakes according to the geographical locations of the nine most populous cities in the UK. After introducing a slime-mold colony to the map, the organism started developing patterns which, surprisingly, aligned with the existing motorway design; however, with some variations. But how does it do this without a brain to process information? Researchers have not yet answered this intriguing question. Amsterdam is made up of a myriad of elements: canals, homes, bike paths, train tracks, old shipping yards, bridges, and so forth. A beautiful and exciting place but sometimes it’s difficult to find the shortest way to where you want to go, even if you’ve lived in the city for ages. At this workshop we employed the slime-mold to map out the larger network of cultural hubs in the city, illuminating the shortest paths from one to another. An organic map of Amsterdam’s cultural life in slime. By placing the slime-mold’s favorite food, oat flakes, on those locations we wanted to connect on a map of Amsterdam made of agar, we intended to let the slime-mold find the ideal routes between them. In order to prevent other organisms from interrupting the slime-mold’s growth process, it was necessary to work in a clean room. Luckily we built one for the Paddestoelen Paradijs exhibition. A clean room is a a space with a controlled level of contamination. That means it has very, very few particles in the air like dust. Participants wore white overalls, corresponding masks, gloves and plastic shoecovers, all to make sure none of their germs escaped into the area. Pedestrians walking by on the Vijzelstraat were very intrigued and highly amused by the sight, frequently stopping to peak inside. Meanwhile, participants got to play in their new, professional attire with different surfaces and food sources and lab gadgets. At the end of the day they had made their own, intelligent map of cultural Amsterdam. For this workshop we used a vinyl cut-out shaped like the map of Amsterdam and stuck it to the bottom of a number of petri-dishes. Next time we will probably use a 3D printer and ‘print’ the agar in the shape of the map of Amsterdam in order to make the visualizations more accurate. For this, we are working together with the Fablab of our cultural partner Waag Society. Text by Pilar Puig and Evelyn Austin

Workshop guests Sonja Bäumel (AT) Maurizio Montalti (IT) Bio Data Visualization of Amsterdam’s Cultural Heart Data visualization is closely related to, yet different from information and statistical graphics and scientific visualizations. Frits Post, head of the Scientific Visualization research group at Technical University Delft, states it unites the field of the scientific and information visualizations. None of the data visualizations, however, has combined the two fields in such a way as this project. Two weeks after the workshop participants gathered again to examine the results of the experiments carried out during the workshop. It turned out that even with the white suits, gloves, masks and other aseptic measures taken to keep organisms from growing and competing with the slime-mold, some bacteria slipped through at some point of the process, and altered the slime-mold’s development. According to Friedman (2008) the “main goal of data visualization is to communicate information clearly and effectively through graphical means. To convey ideas effectively, both aesthetic form and functionality need to go hand in hand, providing insights into a rather sparse and complex data set by communicating its key-aspects in more intuitive way. Yet designers often fail to achieve a balance between form and function, creating gorgeous data visualizations which fail to serve their main purpose — to communicate information.”Slime-mold is, in all it’s simpleness, an ideal medium with which to visualize these different kinds of data. Aesthetics is of course a matter of taste, yet the visualization is undoubtedly clear in mapping Amsterdam’s cultural heart. Participants prepared two maps of Amsterdam. One of them was contaminated and is now a mosaic of textures and colors formed by the different microorganisms. The other, however, remained bacteriafree, letting the slime-mold to grow according to the shortest routes from oat flake to oat flake. A time-lapse was made recording the development of the slimemold; it is amazing to watch the way the organism grows and explores, expanding in wave-like, yellow pulses that branch out in search of food. This time-lapse is now exhibited, together with the agarmaps, at Mediamatic’s exhibition space Mediamatic Bank, and can be viewed online on http://vimeo.com/mediamaticvimeo/bio-data-visualisation-cs and bio-data-visualisation-hq.

Are the budget cuts necessary or just plain stupid? Visualizations show dramatic relations between financing of culture and other sectors and reflect dramatic budget cuts done by current government in 2011 in Netherlands. In 2011 the Netherlands gave € 490 million from the state overall budget to support the cultural infrastructure. That sounds like a lot but it is only a third of what Netherlands spent on holidays. It’s 1,5% of the annual costs of the State Pension and only 0,2% of the country’s total Budget. Visualizations are part of political guerilla campaign done by Dutch art and media organization Mediamatic in 2011 as reflection on this dramatic decisions.

Discussion
The workshop “Visible Data” in Youth Center CK13 that was organized from 19th till 21st of September, gathered designers and artists who researched specific problems regarding financing of culture in the local context. The beginning of the workshop was shifted for later period and short introduction from the seminar program was introduced. Participants had a chance to find out more about transparency issues (short lecture by Kristian Lukić) and the project time-frame and ideas (brief presentation by Marina Lauš). The mentor of the workshop, Katarína Lukić Balažiková, presented initial info about data visualization followed by some visual examples. After the initial session the work was continued Untitled Folderin more informal manner. First day of the workshop was spent on identifying the main problems with transparency issues on local level, some of the possible strategies and actions to it. All participants took an active role in identifying the problems with transparency on local level they have encountered so far. From this two small-scale campaigns on transparency issues emerged, first one dealing with overspending of budget and the second one dealing with non-transparency of commissions. During the second and third day participants worked in smaller groups, designing the initial solution for pure data visualizations and smaller diagrams of transparency issues. The workshop was attended by 10 participants in total, however, some of them did small scale field research for their visual solutions thus were not attending the workshop all the time. At the end of the workshop participants were provided with deadlines for visualization creation. Some of the participants have chosen to work on their budget visualizations and some also have chosen to conduct additional research and create visualizations of some specific problems in culture financing in the local context like Marina Armuš and Miroslav Dajč. At the end of the workshop the reader for workshop participants was created and distributed to participants. The content of the reader was oriented towards offering help and guidelines for workshop participants during the working period. It contained the guidelines for creating the visualizations, the deadlines list, visual material from the workshop, contact and all other necessary information. Text by NAPON

Let’s clean Serbia of overspending! In 2009 and 2010 Ministry Environment and Spatial Planning spent 475.000 EUR for PR activity “Let’s clean Serbia”. Graphic shows what activities could be undertaken if this money would be given to randomly chosen NGO’s for concrete activities. The amount of 475.000 EUR is thus partitioned in 12 parts for 12 NGO’s that in that case would have 39.583 EUR each for one year.

In our part of project, we decided to study the local problems in Bratislava and Bratislava self-governing region. Therefore we had chosen topics that resonate in public – culture in public TV, the efficiency of state culture institutions, distribution of money and overspending in sector of culture, financing of specific “post-socialistic leftover” culture centers or problematic attempts to establish Kunsthalle in Bratislava in last 20 years. These topics were consulted with people from activist initiatives that are already active for couple of years, dealing with cultural policy and data transparency. After that researchers that we invited into the project searched for relevant data that we needed to prove and illustrate these topics and problems. Here, the data mining was more complicated than while searching the state, regional and municipal culture budgets. It was difficult to define what we want to highlight and what topics to chose as the most critical from the decent number of already existing problems. At that stage, the key was to formulate exactly the right theme into the right quantitative data so the infographics function as meaningful stories. At the same time we faced problems due to our inexperience – the exact wording of the definition of a research assignment, as well as traceability of the data in such short time frame. But ultimately, the material that we had collected, managed to create quality results – data visualizations in form of posters created by the students and graduates from Visual communication Department of Academy of Fine Art and Design from Bratislava, Moholy Nagy Design University from Budapest and Academy of Fine Arts from Katowice during the workshop under leadership of Daniel Grosso and Malthe Joris from Catalogtree.

Sufficiency of culture in Bratislava â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Slovakia, many people complain about poor quality and lack of culture. At ďŹ rst sight, it seems that Bratislava gives sufficient funds, but the money go mostly to institutions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so called â&#x20AC;&#x153;cultural housesâ&#x20AC;? in city districts which are a kind of socialistic relic. Despite itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quality they continue to survive because of these public subsidies while Bratislava has no real cultural center. While analyzing these data, we have also discovered that it is not easy to ďŹ nd out how much culture in these institutions objectively is. We want the audience itself to think whether activities such as language courses, exhibition of minerals or tea at ďŹ ve are adequate cultural activity worth city representation or they are more suitable for a community centers. Therefore we decided to show information about ďŹ nancing of these activities with help of pictograms which are the universal language of infographics. Each program activity of selected â&#x20AC;&#x153;culture housesâ&#x20AC;? in Bratislava was assigned a particular pictogram. To pictograms we have added information about how much money particular center is receiving a certain year, and it resulted with the poster that explains with simple visual language how much money goes to the implementation of activities called â&#x20AC;&#x153;cultureâ&#x20AC;? in a particular centers.â&#x20AC;?

Malnourished culture “The theme of undernourished culture focuses on the financing of independent theaters and theaters which are subsidized by state, city or county. While many theaters have to apply for money in various grants and funds, others are receiving large sums automatically. Although, differences in production performance, attendance, and created jobs are not as massive as the funding gap. To show such disproportions, we compared and put together the number of performances, visits, that can be realized with the same amount of money. The visualization is based on the circles on the water because if we throw the same stone into the water it can create different waves depending on the different circumstances.”

The lack of state funding for culture? “Budgets and usage of public money has always been criticized and discussed issue in our region. Almost all problems in culture were excused with well-known argument of continuous lack of money at this sector. But as more financial affairs at different sectors were presented in media, last years show there has always been enough money – but was often wasted or used in not proper way. In other words, instead of these untrusted financial flows, the money could be used in sector of culture. In practical way we can only hardly imagine these wasted amounts we are talking about. Therefore, we helped the audience – we presented various examples of how much culture we could finance from this sum of money. The first visual solution of poster reflecting this problem uses the phrase “a hole in the budget”. How about translating it into visual form? Creating a hole in the poster directly shows the metaphor of finance leaks. The obtained data are proportional to visualizing graph which shows the complete area of the poster and the total budget leak in it is the amount of wasted money. ´And what would you do with that amount?´ Such an attractive idea draws the viewer into the problem directly on the spot. We reserved the special place where you can write your own ideas how the wasted money could be used in culture sector. In the second solution, we wanted to show few financial leaks in simple graphs. The bending of the poster outward allows the viewer to discover something hidden. Posters should be placed on the corners of buildings so the black wasted part of money is behind the corner. The sharp visual contrast shows the use of public money and in the same time also creates a moment of mystery and ambiguity.”

Workshop participants Jakub Mašita (CZ) Veronika Melicherová (SK) Lucia Šimková (SK) The ratio of cultural programs in televisions STV2 / CT2 / RTS2 “The theme of visualization is the question of sufficiency or deficiency of culture in the public media. It focuses on the proportion of real quality and presentation of culture in STV2 (Slovak television) compared with other European public broadcasters (Czech, Serbian). On the basis of a weekly television program sample, we mapped the representation of cultural programs and their timeliness. The whole format of the poster is a weekly broadcast range in hours. The thickness of the strip indicates the length of broadcast program. Another layer of information can be retrieved from the richness of black graphic elements – black represents 100% of the actual premiere cultural programs produced in 2011, 80% is re-run of these programs, 50% is re-run of cultural programs produced in 2010 and 20% is re-run of programs that were produced before 2010. Addressing the question of culture in the Slovak media processing via concrete data showed considerable disparity to selected European televisions, and it points to a deficit of culture in the Slovak public television and the lack of information about current cultural events in the media.”

Author of other visualizations Katarína Lukić Balážiková (SK) PF 2012 for the Culture “PF cards in e-mail versions with little provocative content were addressed to all Bratislava City and Bratislava Self-governing Region politicians, council members and magistrates and all members of National Council of Slovak Republic. They looked like typical New Year’s wish but instead of a traditional wish, there was wish for better financing of culture argumented with real facts as numbers and percentages. PF cards were visually connected with the Visible data projection and contained the same data and information about the local and national problems in financing culture in Slovakia. In order to communicate these problems within cultural public PF cards as images were posted also on Facebook to use this most-common contemporary medium.”

Visible data projection “The animation played on the plasma screen at gallery space and on one of it’s walls was informing and alerting about the occurrence of interesting facts and numbers in public funding of culture in Slovakia. Such direct imaging of the data without the mutual relations and direct comparison are similar to dynamic processes of continuous change in the financial and investment sector and are therefore great contrast with the the slow and stagnant culture sector in Slovakia. In this way, animation parodied the invisibility of these data and the lack of discourse on many issues about financing culture in public in Slovakia.”

Author of other visualizations Martin Mistrík (SK) Ideal recipe Preparation of grant projects requires much more than the execution of the event. It is exceptionally time-consuming work into which great effort is put during the whole preparation process, however, it does not always end by the initial vision. The project of financing transparency has stirred up a visualization of our own resourses – we had processed our grant effort for Visible Data. It is the same as to bake a cake – at the beginning there is an optimal taste-idea. After meeting financial reality you must work with much poorer resources – ingredients. Do not forget that the cake must be tasteful, otherwise, you will have to give it back. However, to satisfy eaters still lies on the shoulders of NGOs.

Visible Data 2011—2012 financovanie projektu
Svätopluk or maecenate in Slovak Behind the origin of a statue of Svätopluk who is interpreted as the first Slovak king, stands an initiative of members of political party Smer. It was realized from private resources – mainly of politicians’ salaries, kindred enterpreneurs or state enterprise’s money; realized by the means of a great fund-raising campaign. Presumptive costs had been 270.000 €, campaign’s payoff was 129.870 €, real costs are not known. The question is whether the statue is a memorial of “the first Slovak king” or of political party and it’s chairman, and whether “a private initiative” is not mostly funded from public resources.
