Ever since the founding of the video gallery Montevideo in 1978, the Netherlands Media Art Institute has been specialised in electronic art and especially video art which seeks the creative possibilities of the medium itself. Today we are active in three core areas: presentation, conservation and research. The collection of the Netherlands Media Art Institute comprises over 1,800 works, and is the beating heart of the Institute. The oldest tapes date from 1970, and still every year we add about 35 new works to the collection. The history of media art shows that from the very beginning international exchange was going to be an essential part of this art form. Now we distribute yearly almost a thousand works from our collection to 36 countries and we are preparing for the future, as online distribution through the streaming of selected works directly from our servers will be possible soon.
