Crisis: a non-economic approach

12:00–18:00 | Admission: free | Eendrachtsstraat 10, Rotterdam

V2_ presents the Media Technology MSc Exhibition by the students of the
Leiden University. The Media Technology MSc program encourages students
to formulate their own scientific questions and to translate their
personal inspiration and curiosity into their research projects. This
has resulted in six media art installations. The theme of this year’s
semester project exhibition is “crisis.”

Official opening: January 7 at 17:00 by Michel van Dartel

V2_Online Archive


As another step in the ongoing development of a new approach to online
archiving V2_ has released the extended view option on its regular
website. Visitors who press the arrow symbol next to an item on the
V2_website will now see all related articles, people and organizations,
edited and structured by the archivist rather than by the computer.
