A harbour is an intervening of land, sea and airspace: a meeting place where everything is connected en refers.

As part of the Week of the Sea (20-28 May 2006) on the Dutch island Ameland, foundation Archipel Ameland organises the e-culture project Habour Land.


This years theme is Harbour Land. Habour Land is a multimedia exploration around the theme “Departure & Arrival”.

Media Art Friesland organises two sub-projects in the project Habour Land: Habour Head and Habour Sketches. From 22nd – 26th of May 2006 new material is updated daily.

Harbour Head

Harbour Head is a website that will be build via ‘content management systems’ (CMS).
Purpose of this project is to generate content with audiovisual recordings and photo’s via experiment with CMS. Ideas and limits of the technique will be searched for, translated by CSM. Random, selected or through association, symbolic or artefacts web collages will arise.

Media artist Michiel Koelink (1972) was invited to be the artistic leader of this project. Jeroen Deen (Noordelijke Hogeschool Leeuwarden) will be in charge of the technique. Harbour Head is a social project.

The team ‘image & sound beachcombers” exists of the artists José M. Biscaya (Portugal 1973), Sun Ha Borger (1980), Gebrand Burger (1969), Sannah den Engelsen (1979), Henrike Gootjes (1979) and seven students of the Noordelijke Hogeschool Leeuwarden.

Richard de Boer (1978) is a freelance writer and researcher and will report on a daily basis from Ameland via a blog.
