The Mondriaan Foundation suppor
 ts exceptional projects of visu
 al art, design and cultural her
 itage of the Netherlands. As th
 e organization manages an annua
 l budget of approximately 23 mi
 llion euros, the annual report
 is published not only to review
  the organization’s current act
 ivities but also to comply with
  public accountability and tran
 sparency requirements.

 The Mondriaan Foundation mainta
 ins strong relationships with a
  large network of cultural inst
 itutions throughout the world i
 n order to stimulate internatio
 nal cooperation and exchange in
  the field of contemporary art
 and design. This is why the 200
 8 annual report aims to reveal
 the content’s inherent bonds an
 d connections and should be con
 sidered as a digital data cloud
  pressed into the physical embo
 diment of a book.

 The publication consists of dif
 ferent types of hyperlinks that
  allow for contextual searching
  and browsing. While a dashed l
 ine connects related keywords l
 ike globalization, internationa
 lization and mobility to a rhiz
 omatic network, editorial links
  like cross references or footn
 otes result in stellar line con
 stellations that point to speci
 fic text passages within the bo
 ok. If you follow the page numb
 ers to the corresponding pages
 you may start reading the annua
 l report non-chronologically an
 d remove the narrative nature o
 f text.

 In this sense, the graph-based
 data display reflects not only
 the complex relations in the co
 ntext of cultural funding but u
 ses also semantic connections t
 o reveal the relevant topics th
 at are being discussed within t
 he artistic discourse.
