*Video Archive

Since the 70s there have been many institutions dedicated to preserving moving image art works or films, mainly in the US and Europe. The reasons are: the numbers of video pieces is growing: Special equipment and technique are required to utilize moving images : and it is difficult to preserve them.
Most of these institutions are supported by governments, such as the Electronic Arts Intermix in New York, Montevideo in Amsterdam, and Lux in London.
These well-established institutions preserve already, distribute them and open their collection to the public and experts.
Unfortunately there is nothing like them in Japan. We think that it is urgent to collect and preserve video art.

( The word 'video' is used in its broadest sense to indicate moving image art)
