I wouldn't jump to that conclusion just yet. We are certainly witnessing a
retrenchment in institutional support, but these things develop in cycles.
I predict that in ten years time every major museum (and many of the
not-so-major ones) will have a signficant commitment to new media art in
some form. Meanwhile, the boundaries between new media art and other forms
of art are getting blurrier--a welcome transition, in my opinion. The walls
of the new media ghetto are crumbling. Bring 'em down!

Yup. This is a bigger problem, and not just for artists.

Indicatives? Do you mean initiatives?
