Dutch identity proposal for data haven off British coast
'Jewel Box' exclusive online pre-release

Since November, 2003, Dutch research think tank 'Meta Haven' has been working on a series of symbols, coins, stamps and logos for the Principality of Sealand, a mini-state situated on a man-made island near the British coast and the world's first 'dat haven'. The aim of these propositions, brought together now in an exclusive online pre-release, is to open up a set of associations to Sealand and its relation to the Internet.

The ‘Jewel Box’, as the proposal is called, consists of found images, weaved together into symbols with a narrative relation to the history and meaning of Sealand. The different designs go into such notions as islands and utopias, scandals in the network economy, piracy, search engines, fraudulent representations of the Principality and their alleged connections, and a mathematical figure resembling Sealand’s host platform.
The design team, consisting of graphic designers Vinca Kruk, Adriaan Mellegers and Daniel van der Velden, and architecture firm Next Architects, states that their ‘Jewel Box’ is to open new possibilities in the symbolic realm.
In May/June 2004, Meta Haven’s strategic plans will be due, dealing with community and branding issues.

Meta Haven’s ‘Jewel Box’ is pre-released on the Internet to deliberately interfere with the web-based Sealand phenomenon.
The Principality of Sealand, claiming a sovereign status as a country, is well-known for its data haven or 'informational darkroom', established four years ago on the initiative of Ryan Lackey, Sean and Jo Hastings of HavenCo. By 2003, HavenCo's founding partners had left the company which is now lead by Sealand's Crown Prince Michael.

The Meta Haven design team regards its proposals as a method to develop a visual mythology for the Principality of Sealand. Reactions from the community interested in internet havens and informational liberty are most welcome at office@metahaven.net
