Finnish Ministry of Education has just published a paper called "Mediataiteen mahdollisuudet - selvitys mediataiteesta" wich means basicly the possibilities of New Media Art and includes a survey and research of the New Media Art in Finland.

Demos and Alternative Party are on the paper, as they should of course, and there are numbers like: 14 % of Finnish Media Artists see Alternative Party as very important event. This should actually been considered as quite high number comparing to other events and assosiations.

If you are interested, please read more from the official document at the site of Ministry of Education. I am afraid it is only in Finnish thou.
