"Die Digitale Stadt", presented by Geert Lovink on the VideoFest, is an information system within the Internet, free of charge and with unrestricted access. Virtual communities come into existence with reference to a real geographic location as a continuation of a public space. In this case, the city is Amsterdam. Right now, 15,000 users work with "The Digital City." The city offers access to a city hall, a culture and arts center, office blocks with classified ads, job fairs, a kiosk with on-line magazines and much more.
