Oog online

Oog is a commentary and opinion platform for the online edition of De Volkskrant, a major Dutch daily national newspaper. ‘Oog’ began in September 2004 as a platform in which every week a different artist working in sound and image is asked to respond to news and current affairs. The selection of artists participating has grown into a varied group of national and international artists working with very different forms of expertise and approaches. In this way, artists are using their skills to become commentators on events in a news environment. After each week, the work is placed in the archives. Making the Oog collection accessible as a whole.
 
The artists participating in OOG are a diverse and renowned group of applied and autonomous artists both from inside and outside The Netherlands. OOG is one of the most visited pages within the Volkskrant website with a weekly with visitor numbers of 3,000-5,000.
