Mapping E-Culture provides an overview of the state of key pillars under the e-culture sector. They underpin the humus layer on which artists, developers, designers and researchers can build. What is the situation in education, in cultural discourse, in practice-based research at art schools and in labs? Also important is the contribution on cultural revenue models in these times of profiting. Mapping E-Culture is not limited to the Netherlands; it also includes contributions on developments in China and Brazil. It is published on the occassion of the international conference on communities and networks in the post-Web 2.0 era organized by Virtual Platform on 20-21 November 2008.
