Incorporated as Satellite Video Exchange Society, VIVO is a steward of critical history and an agent for emergent experimental media arts practices. Their programs foster formal and critical approaches to media arts, and reflect the diversity of contemporary technologies and communities that coalesce around new forms of knowledge and creativity. VIVO builds an engaged audience through workshops, production support, distribution, artist residencies, performances and exhibitions as well as curatorial and archival research. They are also the caretakers of a significant and substantial repository of media art history. Through these activities and their extensive archival resources, VIVO plays a unique role in facilitating and fostering artistic practices in the region.
