with theme: “Media & Creativity”

Waag Society is the name of what started in 1994 as ‘Society for old en new Media’, Foundation de Waag. Founders were Caroline Nevejan and Marleen Stikker, who is still Waag Society’s director. Before, Stikker was the mayor of the Digital City, the first internet community in the Netherlands.The Society’s -soon to be called ‘Waag Society’- mission was to make new media available for groups of people that have little access to computers and internet, thus increasing their quality of living. After a complete restauration of the Waag building, a small group of enthousiastic idealists began their activities in 1996.

The medialab developed into an avant-gardistic thinktank whith a lot of freedom. But with an eye for commercial possibilities: attempts were made to bring Waag prototypes to the market. Waag Society grew into an institution that was active in the fields of networked art, healthcare, education and internet related issues like bandwidth and copyright.

The international network became increasingly important: Waag Society has a worldwide network with partners in countries like India, Canada and the UK.

Nowadays, Waag Society is an acknowledged institute where apart from R & D, there is room for experiment with new technologies, art and culture. Partners come from all parts of society: universities but also  companies work together in our projects. Waag Society is a foundation and as such a non-profit organisation.

Waag Products was established to market our products. Examples are the Storytable, Pilotus (BoardMessenger)  and Monstermedia.

Part of our activities has moved to the new cultural hotspot Pakhuis de Zwijger, a renovated warehouse in the former Amsterdam Doch area that also houses the Media Guild.
