Netherlands Media Art Institute Montevideo/Time Based Arts

The Netherlands Media Art Institute, Montevideo/ Time Based Arts has set the goal for itself of promoting the wide development, application and distribution of, and reflection on new technologies in the visual arts. The Netherlands Media Art Institute supports media art in three core areas: presentation, research and conservation, and through its facilities provides extensive services for artists and art institutions. Associated with this are educational programmes, which are developed for all activities. Since the founding of the Netherlands Media Art Institute in 1978 an extensive collection of video and media art has been assembled, to which new works are continually being added. At present the collection comprises more than 1500 works, ranging from early experiments by artists now famous in The Netherlands and internationally to recent productions by up-and-coming talents. At the Holland Animation Film Festival ten recent films from the collection will be shown. Together they represent a generous palette of the possibilities of video and media art.
