The\u0000 illegal channel, which was created by the artists Maarten Ploeg (né van\u0000 der Ploeg), Peter Klashorst, and Rogier van der Ploeg, made it its mission\u0000 to crack open the closed medium of television. PKP and pirate cable TV\u0000 in the Netherlands are situated within a longer history of both alternative\u0000 TV projects internationally—such as the Videofreex and TVTV—as\u0000 well as video and film-based artworks shown on television both in the\u0000 Netherlands and abroad. Artist-led pirate television in the Netherlands,\u0000 like squatters in urban space, cracked open the media space of television\u0000 and created temporary autonomous platforms.","PeriodicalId":294488,"journal":{"name":"From City Space to Cyberspace","volume":"288 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130020382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
