New NWO proposal

In collaboration with University Utrecht the Crossmedialab developed a proposal for a NWO subsidy, the proposal is titled 'A Digital Infrastructure for the contextualization of Cultural Events (DICE)'. The immediate aim of the DICE proposal is to connect four major data collections, part of which were NWO-funded, in the domain of theatre and cinema culture collected by museums and archives. Each of these four collections holds different data on the production, circulation, presentation and reception of film screenings and theatre performances. Since this information has not as of yet been systematically collected and connected, our current knowledge of theatre and cinema culture is particularly fragmented, compartmentalized, incoherent and full of holes, and does not allow for a more systematic and comparative approach of Dutch stage and screen entertainments.
