In its advice to the mayor and aldermen of the Municipality of Amsterdam, the Amsterdam Art Council recommended that Waag should be included in the basic infrastructure. Waag is hereby proposed to fill the position of ‘presentation and development institution that operates at the crossroads of art, science and technology and focuses on the cultural impact of new technologies.’
In support of its advice, the Kunstraad writes: ‘Waag is an excellent institution at the crossroads of science, art and technology. The institution also plays an important role as an adviser to the municipality in questions about (un)desirable technological possibilities.’
