With a collection of over 5,500 works of art and 270,000 book materials, the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo today conducts various projects to grasp the current state of art by actively addressing the latest creative endeavors, both at home and abroad, within a variety of fields. It attempts to meet the needs of wide range of visitors, its various departments collaborating in such areas as the collection of works/reference materials, the presentation of permanent/ temporary exhibitions, education and the maintenance of a comprehensive art library, working in the pursuit and promotion of art that is appropriate to the diversified values of the current age.

The Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment was founded in 2011 as a non-profit dedicated to the preservation of our digital heritage in playable form, and to inspire the next generation of game developers. The MADE is a 501c3 non-profit. [1]

Despite having made a remarkable impact upon our modern culture, video games have largely been left out of the mainstream information preservation discussion. Aside from occasionally popping into the public consciousness, the day-to-day work of preserving our digital heritage in a form that can still be played is largely performed by loosely knit groupings of communities that operate somewhat outside the legal bounds of modern copyright laws. [1]

Thus, the MADE seeks to legitimize the preservation of video games as both a historic and artistic medium within the context of our time. Hence, visitors to the MADE can pay a single admission fee and then subsequently play any of our collection of over 12,000 games across 40 systems for as long as they may like. [1]

Rather than an arcade, the MADE is a bit more like a digital library, where research can be performed, history can be learned, and of course, flights of fancy and adventure can take place. [1]

Unsound focuses on a broad swath of contemporary music — emerging, experimental, and leftfield — whose sweep doesn't follow typical genre constraints. Influential, it has developed a reputation for identifying innovative scenes and radical sounds.[1]

Founded in 2003, Unsound wasn’t always the festival it is now. The very first edition ended with artists thrown out of a club for playing music that was too weird for regular patrons. Now, with the main festival still happening every year at a number of venues across Kraków, regular events also take place in New York, Adelaide, Toronto, and London. Between 2016 and 2018, Unsound also produced eleven festivals in Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the Caucasus, part of a long history of working with curators and artists in the post-Soviet region.[1]

As well as spotlighting emerging artists, Unsound also commissions new shows and encourages transborder collaborations, adapts and reimagines abandoned spaces for concerts and club nights, manages cutting-edge artists, and is known for its sound-inspired Ephemera perfume project. Unsound is also a platform, commissioning and releasing new music and books.[1]

Founded in 1971, Trinity Square Video is one of Canada’s first artist-run centres and its oldest media arts centre. We are a not-for-profit, charitable organization.[1]

For 50 years, Trinity Square has been a champion of media arts practices. Our activities are guided by a goal to increase our members’ and audiences’ understanding and imagination of what media arts practices can be. Trinity Square strives to create supportive environments, encouraging artistic and curatorial experimentation that challenge medium specificity through education, production and presentation supports.[1]

As video-based practices have become increasingly present across disciplines, Trinity Square engages artists and curators in critical investigations into the changing conditions of perception, materiality and the virtual. We consider all of our artistic activities and structures through a process of critical self-reflection, continuously evaluating the ethical positioning of our programming, jury structures, inter-organizational relationships, et cetera. In addition to holding aesthetic worth in its own right, our artistic programming extends our education and production activities in order to generate new knowledges.[1]

Trinity Square’s programming is guided by three priorities: 1) promoting an expanded definition of media arts; 2) promoting the meaningful engagement of diverse voices in all levels of our operations; and 3) supporting and nurturing the production of new works by artists and curators. Our membership represents the diversity of the city and honours the original mandate of the organization—seeking to reduce barriers to access related to race, gender, sexual orientation, and socio- economic and physical ability.

Over 20+ years, CTM has been highlighting new strains of pop and fringe cultures that venture through the weird, the challenging, the cathartic, the esoteric, the contagious, and the ecstatic – simultaneously exploring sonic histories, contexts, and political and technological entanglements. Though international in its approach, CTM remains deeply rooted in and committed to Berlin’s DIY and club scenes, from which it emerged in 1999. [1]

Listening and dancing within the gaps between musics, communities, and scenes, CTM defies easy categorisation and tests the current possibilities and limits of sound and music. Programming supports a multitude of voices, backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives – CTM is for all forms of music as long as they dare to experiment, question, and demonstrate conviction. Our work reaches out to all corners of the globe to explore and explode wildly different, experimental, mutating global scenes. [1]

CTM is an independent, non-profit initiative built, from the very start, on constant collaboration. We work closely with artists, guest curators, and researchers to support them in realising new projects and to produce and transmit new knowledge across performances, exhibitions, talks and artistic labs, writing, and more. Through a multi-perspective approach, we aim to respond to the diversity of an increasingly polycentric, polychromatic, and hybrid (music) world, always with empathy, openness, and a desire to counter global asymmetries. [1]

Because of CTM’s mutually collaborative nature, activities highlight a large and ever-expanding range of practices in and around sound. Through yearly themes, the festival experiments with formats, locations, technologies, and ways of listening, creating multiple entry points from which to engage with sound and their contexts. [1]

Music is not a parallel world, but rather a seismograph of our current societies, a powerful force with which to cope with uncertainty and change, and a medium through which to imagine different futures. [1]

Since 2008, CreativeApplications.Net (CAN) has been at the forefront of innovation—facilitating and driving the conversations about technology, society and critical making. It has played an instrumental role in uncovering and contextualising noteworthy work, featured on the festival and gallery circuit or developed as academic research. With over 3,500 catalogued projects, experiments, texts and reviews, CAN plays an instrumental role in shaping the innovative creative practices of tomorrow.[1]

Neural is a printed magazine established in 1993 dealing with new media art, electronic music and hacktivism. It was founded by Alessandro Ludovico and Minus Habens Records label owner Ivan Iusco in Bari (Italy). In its first issue (distributed in November 1993) there was the only translation in Italian of the William Gibson’s Agrippa (a book of the dead) book.[1]

The first topics covered were: cyberpunk (both as a literally and political movement), electronic music, networks and BBS, virtual reality, media, science fiction and UFO. The magazine’s mission was to be a magazine of ideas, becoming a node in a larger network of digital culture publishers. The magazine was also committed to give its topics a proper visual frame: focusing on graphic design and how it could have expressed the electronic culture in a sort of printed ‘interface’, exploiting at the same time the “sensorial” possibilities of the printed page. So, for example the page numbering was strictly in binary numbers for 3 years, then decimal figures were added aside. There was a department with stereogram pictures and the centerfold hosted a few optical art artworks. The graphic design included a fixed space in every article for contact and links, being inspired by the Whole Earth Catalog experiments.[1]

Denver Digerati is a nonprofit that supports artists working in digital animation and motion art. We believe in the freedom to create without restrictions. Denver Digerati promotes those who aspire to express their unique visions through their art. We produce content, manage equitable artist commissions, collaborate on community events, deliver education workshops, and host the annual Supernova Digital Animation Festival.[1]

Denver Digerati are leaders in the field of art integration with public LED and other display formats that position motion art and animation as a form of creative engagement. We provide a platform for artists and students through wider exposure to their work with the Supernova Digital Animation Festival, the first festival in the world dedicated exclusively to digital animation and motion art. [1]

Through Supernova and other initiatives, Denver Digerati provides compensation to artists through commissions and awards. We endeavor to reduce barriers to access and strive to foster an increased awareness of the medium through our educational opportunities and partnerships. We are dedicated to educating students and the public on the rapidly evolving field of tech based tools and how they can be wielded to create awe inspiring art. [1]

Denver Digerati originated with a passion for the outdoor exhibition of motion art on LED infrastructure by founder Ivar Zeile. The project has evolved into a non-profit arts organization with the desire to connect an international community of artists with opportunities to present their work in a variety of public and private settings, upholding the highest quality and standards.
