The first design of the website came about during the workshop organised in 1999/2000 by the Dutch Cultural Broadcasting Fund in cooperation with the Sandberg Institute. The Fund has made it possible for this design to be completed. Fred Inklaar is responsible for the design, Gridline for the programming and Digna Sinke for the content. The site aims to show how the island of
Tiengemeten once came about and about the plans for the future. Website: http://www.tiengemeten.com |
