since the mid eighties of the last century walters main activity has been

people, enter and add to the public domain.
first net based project was co-founding the digital city (de digitale stad)
in amsterdam in 1993. he was developing a first graphic interface and
moderating the 'arts and culture' section. DDS has provided the community of
amsterdam free access to the internet since the beginning, which has been
stopped last year's october. The initiative also served tools and know-how
for effectively using the web and creating content for the web. there were
numerous public events, which helped the digital city to grow to more than
80,000 users in the first year.
1994 walter van der cruijsen founded the flying desk, a media lab, that
served as an experimental on-line laboratory for artists, coders and
activists. well-known on-line forums, such as nettime and rhizome, have
started from desk and the workspace was a well attended environment.
from 1995 until 2000 he worked for the center for arts and media (ZKM) in
karlsruhe, germany, developing both net based art projects and managing
projects for the ZKM media museum and the online department. his last major
project for the ZKM was curating 'net_condition', a large show in 1999 and
2000 with much emphasis on net based arts and how media technology affects
our society, from daily life to arts and science.
since autumn 2000, he has started to travel and to map media culture and net
based activities, basically in central and eastern europe. currently he is
working with ljudmila in ljubljana, slovenia and with mama in zagreb,
croatia.
