# How gentrification and mass tourism destroyed the former Dutch contemporary arts capital Amsterdam.
This map shows the Dutch art spaces supported by Mondriaan Fonds in 2019, with Amsterdam now down to 3, The Hague having 4, and Rotterdam with 6 (factually 7 including De Player).
Concerning DIY artist-run spaces, the discrepancies are even more pronounced. (In our research at WdKA, we counted 50-100 for Rotterdam depending on one's tighter or looser definitions of "art"; in Amsterdam, there's simply no longer room/affordable space for such a number of initiatives.)
However, the same shrinkage that affected Amsterdam is about to repeat itself in rapidly gentrifying Rotterdam.

Pattern Discrimination
University of Minnesota Press / Meson Press (Open Access)
Algorithmic identity politics reinstate old forms of social segregation — in a digital world, identity politics is pattern discrimination. It is by recognizing patterns in input data that Artificial Intelligence algorithms create bias and practice racial exclusions thereby inscribing power relations into media. How can we filter information out of data without reinserting
racist, sexist, and classist beliefs?
