[The Digital City > http://www.dds.nl] ([DDS > The Digital City]) started to my knowledge in-and-around [Hacking at the End of the Universe]. It was then taken by people from [De Balie] and [Hacktic], latter started [XS4ALL] parallel to DDS,. Many involvement from mostly independent groups, artists and culture organisations. DDS initiated public interest and offered internet access and a portal with user-input, for free in 1994. DDS's first graphic interface, created in HyperCard and carefully used in Mosaic 1.03. First DDS was mail, archie, talk, muds, nn, gopher. Early DDS buildup was a series of talks, events and work-in-progress. This image reflects a moment in the discussions and a clickmap, with text, sound, images and quicktime movies. I also created a [citylogo], which was part of small exhibit '[Stadswapens]' in the [Temporary Museum] of DDS. [http://www.Desk.org/wvdc/img/JPEG/ddsplan1.jpeg] © [Walter van der Cruijsen] 1994
