Appropriated Media, Art, Culture, Theory
MediamaticWest is a Portland, Oregon-based appropriation of a cultural institution in Amsterdam. We do exhibitions, presentations, workshops and other activities in Portland and internationally. This site gives you an overview combined with news and theory. The site is edited automatically with anyMeta. It matches the topical with heritage in a sometimes fuzzy, but always surprising way. Just to get you started, there's a list of recent contributions below.
