Founded in 1986, Videotage is one of Asia’s first media art organizations. The center is funded by the government to cultivate art development and nurture artists in this swiftly evolving field of art. Videotage is a non-profit interdisciplinary artists collective that focuses on the development of video and new media art in Hong Kong.
Since 1986, Videotage has developed itself from an umbrella for media artists, to a network of media art and culture for cross-disciplinary cultural productions, and platform to facilitate international exchange.
With the continuous support from the Hong Kong Arts Development Council, Videotage organizes exhibitions, workshops, performances, artist-in-residencies and exchange programs to bring media art closer to the everyday life.
Videotage Media Art Collection(VMAC) was officiated in 2008 with mission to collect, preserve and build an extensive archive of video and media art of Hong Kong. Representing more than 20 years of development in media art, VMAC, that is opened to general public in 2011, together with the eight volumes of The Best of Videotage, a publication series that captures over 100 artists’ work in print, are of high significant educational value to the discourse of media archeology and art history in Hong Kong.
