Zes jonge mannen die in de jaren '96 tot '98 op heel wat plaatsen in Brugge graffiti hebben gespoten zijn vrijgesproken. De Brugse rechtbank oordeelde dat ze de zes jongemannen niet meer kan veroordelen omdat graffitispuiten vandaag enkel door de politierechtbank gestraft kan worden.

Update 23: 69 new flix, some flix are from the seaside and a few were shot in the "swimming-pool" hall of fame. Last week the government started the demolition of this former outdoor swimmingpool in Knokke to add this area to the 'Zwinbosjes' nature reserve.
But there was more graffiti-news in the media last week, due to the fact that two writers were caught in Vorst. 'TerZake' even came to bruges to ask the point of view of the 'preventiedienst'. For those who want to see more graffiti on their tv-screen, 'Telefacts' covers the subject on monday.
Some people are still wondering if they can send flix...Yes, you can!
::02-01-04::
A happy new year to all of you, may all your wishes come true!
As you can see version 3 is finally online: a new look, but more important: a new server so no more annoying pop-ups!
Update 22 isn't ready yet, but we added 22 flix to update 19 (the 'young primitives' exhibition special). Thanks go out to the people who helped us out with our server problems and everybody who's supporting ZONE8000.
::04-09-03::
update 22: 31 new flix
As you might have noticed, Tripod has decided that next to the pop-ups, every page should have a banner. Consequently this will be the last update for this version and hopefully we find a solution, so that we'll be able to bring you more graffiti in and from bruges. If you have suggestions, flix, comments or you want to be added to our mailinglist, just mail us at zone8000@hotmail.com.

the bruges' graffiti prevention project seems very popular as an example for other cities, not only in belgium (the city of ghent is starting with a similar campaign (check ghentizm.be for an article about this topic)), but other european countries are also following the example of bruges. sweden is one of them, the question is, however, if the situation in a rather small town as bruges, is compairable with that of a city as stockholm...
a new update is comming soon and we're also working on another restyling of zone8000
