. . at least you got a response from your search . . . I must echo your
feelings about 'scotlandsculture.org'. This is an absolute tragedy
(and/or an absolute inevitability) considering the partners involved,
another great opportunity squandered and (dissapointingly!?) I couldn't
even find the link to Fish's web site as the search is completey non
functional.

Apart from anything else the site just does not work at a basic level!
A very dissapointed user ;-)

Kind Regards

D Herd

Aye, but where is the digital art in Scotland's Culture? New media? 
Media art? Maybe some video art? I thought I'd try a search, and I 
got these responses...

'Sorry, could not find anything matching digital art'

A search for 'media art' brought up an interesting, if traditional 
form of media art:
'Edinburgh International Book Festival'

The keyword 'video art' brought more disappointing results:
'The Perception of Fish. Website of the rock singer Fish.'

Oh dear.

As for 'new media', apparently the only place to find this is:
'Scottish Screen'

Hmmm... I give the new portal half a point out of a possible four. 
Evidently we all need to start e-mailing slainte.org.uk...
