HELP INFLUENCE POLICY AND STRATEGY RELATED TO NEW MEDIA ARTS ::: IFACCA is the International Federation of Arts Councils and Culture Agencies. It is the global network of national arts funding agencies. It's membership is made of mostly government agencies focused on arts and culture. IFACCA is developing policy and strategies on better addressing the needs of new media artists, especially in relation to new models and ways of working.

Have you collaborated or worked in areas of government that don't normally work with artists? If so, please tell us about this.

13. In the age of digital media, what does copyright and piracy mean for new media artists? How should galleries, institutions, funders and artists address these issues?

14. New media artists working with digital media often require powerful computers running expensive software. Do you own your computer and purchase software, or what strategies do you use to access these tools?
