> On 28 April our founder and director Marleen Stikker received a royal 
> decoration: she has been made 'Knight of the Order of Orange Nassau'. 
> This year is the tenth anniversary of Waag Society and Stikker sees

> cultural significance of our work. I’m very happy.’ The tenth 
> anniversary of Waag Society falls on 21^ June. The Waag building on 
> the Nieuwmarkt in Amsterdam will become a huge bazaar in which 
> highlights of Waag Society projects will be presented and media art 
> will be shown. There will also be talk shows in which some of the 
> people who shaped the internet will discuss the past and the future of 
> new media.
>
