2005 Singapore Design and Art vis-a-vis 1999 Dot Com Boom

2005
The government is funding Design, Art and other Creative endeavours. Design Fest, Beyond 2005, Singapore Bienalle...
1999
The government funded anything IT.

2005
Design and Art might change and improve our lifes.
1999
IT is going to change our lifes... democratization of power, globalization of information and media flows, disintermediation of traditional "middlemen", ie. music and media and other big ass paradigm shifts.

2005 It is cool to be a Designer or Artist. 1999 A career in IT transcends coolness because you can change the world. ie. Launch your own Dot Com, then the rest will follow...
