'Think Ahead! Open platform' is a contest organised by the Netherlands 
Media Art Institute on the occasion of its '30 anniversary'. It aims at 
fostering cooperation between cultural agents and artists with regard to 
an unrealized art project/concept/ idea exploring new territories and 
ideas in the field of media art and digital culture.

'Think Ahead! Open platform' invites artists, researchers and hackers 
active in the digital culture and based in the Netherlands, to present 
ideas that are currently under construction. After selection, up to 16 
projects will be presented on the 'Think Ahead! Open Platform' during 
the open house weekend. Each participant will have 10 minutes to present 
the plan to the public and the jury, be it for instance a research 
projects culminating in publications, artworks, events, installations, 
performances, software/hardware tool for cultural purposes, 
online/offline publication or platform, etc. The key criteria for 
selection are innovation, authenticity, and sustainability. The project 
must fall within the digital art practices and be based on creative 
commons or libre software/hardware.

A jury of experts and representatives of some of the key media 
organization in the Netherlands will grant the most compelling projects 
with 2000 Euro enabling, and will also provide expert advise and 
technical assistance for the further development or actual realisation 
of the concept. The members of the jury might also consider to support 
with their expertise other concepts presented in this initiative if they 
find them interesting.
