Are the budget cuts necessary or just plain stupid? Visualizations show dramatic relations between financing of culture and other sectors and reflect dramatic budget cuts done by current government in 2011 in Netherlands. In 2011 the Netherlands gave € 490 million from the state overall budget to support the cultural infrastructure. That sounds like a lot but it is only a third of what Netherlands spent on holidays. It’s 1,5% of the annual costs of the State Pension and only 0,2% of the country’s total Budget. Visualizations are part of political guerilla campaign done by Dutch art and media organization Mediamatic in 2011 as reflection on this dramatic decisions.
