Valuable works of art and historical documents are kept in secure locations that the general public can access only under certain conditions — if at all. If digital images capture what we consider essential about an object, it is often sufficient to view the copy. As is expected in democratic societies, access to these images should be as unobstructed as possible. Open access is the keyword here. Additionally, digital processing goes beyond mere reproduction, creating entirely new possibilities for access and potentially breaking down barriers to reception.
After more than 20 years of service, the INC mailing list facility listcultures.org was closed on 9 March 2026. This step is part of INC’s transition out of the polytech and toward becoming an independent organization: INC 2.0.
Over the past months we archived the 20 mailing lists; most are now closed, while some will continue elsewhere. If you’d like to take a trip down memory lane, you can explore the archived Mailman lists here: https://www.networkcultures.org/archives.
Cultural participation, including in literature, is a human right. Access to cultural assets and works of art, which can be individually enriching and shape our society, should be open to as many people as possible. ‘Access’ means, on the one hand, experiencing the essential aspects of a work through the senses, and, on the other hand, having the opportunity to understand it. However, sophisticated written language is an obstacle for many people when it comes to literature.
aau/MüllerDaniel Brosch, postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Mathematics at the University of Klagenfurt, is looking into some of the toughest open questions in discrete mathematics. For his research, he recently received a prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship, which will take him to the world’s northernmost university in Norway for two years.
In the thirteenth episode, we address the topic of trust. Trust has long been a buzzword in German digital policy, which is hardly surprising. After all, new data intermediaries designed to promote data exchange in business, science, and society will only be successful in the long term if people trust them. So what does trust mean in the context of digitalization and data sharing, and how can new data services create new reasons for trust?

The Crypto Holding Period – Germany’s Most Unnecessary Tax Privilege
By Co-Pierre Georg
10 March 2026
Almost two thirds of all private crypto gains in Germany remain tax-free – an almost unique special path in Europe. Four reform models show how the crypto gap could be closed – with additional revenues of up to 11.4 billion euros for 2024 alone.
