bij een databank* documents our investigation into the inner workings of
the database of BAM, the Flemish institute for visual, audiovisual and
media art.

To visualise the data stored, we wrote a plugin in Inkscape, manually
generated graphs and scripted .svg - you can read everything about what
we found and how we worked in [16
pages](http://ospublish.constantvzw.org/kanttekeningen/kanttekeningen_bij_databank.pdf)
that are inserted in the back of the [CROSS-over
book](http://www.bamart.be/pages/detail/en/1566/) (in Dutch).

All documents, sketches, code etc. are gathered here:
