My latest work, www.leinz.co.uk, challenges the current issue of Government funding cuts and the possible affect they will have on our cultural access.
As George Osborne announced crippling spending cuts on October 20th, it is becoming ever more apparent that the Arts will suffer greatly under the cold glare of the coalition government. I have used my website to send a foreboding message to those concerned about the future of art in the UK. Means-tested access is a drastic implication that the arts will become more accessible to those who are able to afford it, and those who can’t will simply have to make do.
In other words – if you aren’t earning enough, you’ll be faced with the “value site”, a low-budget, limited low-key affair where you are denied access to simple human rights such as an RSS feed, and presentation semantics (CSS). On the other hand, those with a higher income are welcome to browse the “premium site” containing a wealth of luxurious goods, full exhibition and archive of my work, and full site with all the bells and whistles.
