How to Connect Contents of AV Archives?
Documentation and archiving of media art materials has become necessary for the reflection of contemporary art practice and media art. The "How to Connect the Contents of AV Archives?" project consists of exhibition, lectures (Steven Kovats, Dalibor Martinis), screenings and workshop on digitization of archival contents.
Transitland. Video art from Central and Eastern Europe 1989–2009, exhibition
Transitland EUROPA is an archive of 100 video works from "new" European countries and is an attempt to present a history from within.
Dalibor Martinis: Data Recovery 1974–2009, installation and video works
Data recovery is a procedure of partial recovery of lost data from memory without the context which, before the loss has occurred, gave the positive informational, social, or other meaning. As with the loss of data from a computer disk that can sometimes be partially retrieved, this process is an attempt to bring back fragments of events, situations and circumstances which disappeared in our general memory loss. Any subsequent interpretation and historisation would in this case be just a manipulation of the suppressed reality.
Artworks: Artist at Work, 1980–2010; TV News, 4. 9. 1974, 2009; D. M. talks to D. M., 1978–2010; JBT-VII-58, 2007; Eternal Flame of Rage (Ljubljana 2007, Zagreb 2008, Subotica 2009).
Wiel’s Choise Picking from NIMk (Netherlands Media Art Institute, Montevideo/Time Based Art, Amsterdam), screening

DIVA Station is a platform for preservation, research, presentation, and dissemination of video & media art, which has been developed on the basis of SCCA projects Videodokument, Videospotting, Internet Portfolio, Artservis Collection and e-archive.
