Dick Rijken has a great deal of experience in running and advising on new media projects in the cultural sector.
His primary interest is the changing role of culture in western society. He looks at information systems as cultural products and investigates how traditional cultural players such as broadcasters and museums can redefine their role in our emerging network society.
He researches e-culture at 'De Haagse Hogeschool', where he is professor in the field of Information Technology and Society. He set up a lab ('Waterwolf') for social media in Gouda (NL), in close collaboration with the local library, archive, and museum.
He is also an independent consultant in this field, working for museums, broadcasters, libraries, and archives, and commercial clients. Most of his projects deal with the organisation of self-organisation.
Some of his projects include setting up VPRO's 3voor12 lokaal, and more recently the ‘Wonderkamers’ in the Gemeente Museum in The Hague.
