In 2006 he contributed to two mayor studies as well as curated the new media section of the European Culture Capitals & Months-Network travelling exhibition “A Journey throughout the World – 20 Years of Cultural Capitals”. Both studies were conducted by Dr Hatto Fischer. Jan Hendrik focussed on the area of online practices of museums and media projects by the European Cultural Cities:
- the first study on “The Use of Multi Media by Museums” was commissioned by the municipality of the Greek city of Volos DEMEKAV
- the second study was on an online archive for the project of the European Cultural Capitals as part of the travelling exhibit “A Journey throughout the World – 20 Years of Cultural Capitals,” an intiative of the ECCM network.
In 2004 he based his final MFA project on a series of conducted interviews with media practitioners on their relationship to free media, networking and urban culture and used his findings to demonstrate that this differs from the usual approach taken by local authorities wishing to improve the image of the city without heeding the need for a vital communication.
