British collective Let the people speak brings DIY democratic decision-making to the Copenhagen climate summit. The Planetary Pledge combines techniques of interactive gameshow, live voting and pyramid scheme funding for an event this Friday December 18 in Copenhagen and on the internet. You still have time to propose planet-saving projects, also through a Facebook app, and to pledge $ 10 towards realizing the winning project.

A new organization to support co-operation in media art, The Finnish Media Art Network has been established. The network's founding members - AV-arkki, MUU, m-cult, Pixelache, Cartes, FiXC and Alternative Party - wish to promote conditions of media art by building collaborative information and documentation practices and by effecting cultural exchange and policies. In the ongoing streamlining of Finnish cultural policy, media art is too often seen as a subsection of the visual arts, whereas the organizations in the network underline the multidisciplinary practice in the field, and have already demanded that this should be reflected in the new structures of art administration.
