THE SPACE/COLLECTIVE
VIDEOART CENTER Tokyo
Founded in 2001 as an association dedicated to video art and
other time-based arts in Japan. The aim of VCT is to develop
the situation and to form international alternative networks
of these art forms. VCT is an artist-run Non Profit Organization
(NPO) managed by video artists and staffs who consider it necessary
to establish a critical role of the video art against the society
of spectacle. Its operating funds are covered not only by earnings
from the projects, but also by supports from contributions from
individuals, corporations, and foundations. Projects include:
video art library, video art channel, exhibitions and showings,
video artist workshop, cultural exchange, production and distribution,
conferences & seminars, lectures & reports, consultancy
for educational programs, and publications.
