KULTURSERVER

Kulturserver is a non-commercial online-community for regional culture developed as a cooperation of the Ministry of Science and Culture in Lower Saxony, Germany, the Institute for Cultural Politics at the University of Hildesheim, Germany, and the Ponton European Media Art Lab and launched online in February 1998. Kulturserver Niedersachsen is supported by the Deutschen Telekom AG and the Ministry of Science and Culture in Lower Saxony in the framework of the Multimedia-Initiative Niedersachsen. Kulturserver is designed to use the Internet to support the cultural scene by building a network of artists, cultural institutions and culturally-interested individuals. Kulturserver offers a guide to navigation through the different cultural genres a region offers, such as architecture, fine arts, education, design, film and video, literature, music, new media, handicrafts, socio-culture, or dance and theatre. Kulturserver also aims to give artists joining the art market an infrastructure outside their usual contacts. Kulturserver allows users from the arts- and cultural-community at large to set up free homepages and to publish their work and/or events with a unique toolbox. Additional functionality serves the idea of a community. In contrast to the top-down approaches of many Net portals, Kulturserver works from the bottom-up by stimulating local and original content. It is our firm belief that while the Internet as a global network has interesting content, regional culture is more meaningful to people in their daily lives.
