DIVA Station

The official launch of the DIVA Station web portal is for contributors and workers at the archive only the end of the first step of systematisation of extensive AV materials that are now accessible on-line. The launch will have a follow-up especially in terms of adding content and technological updates. We are aware that one of the key characteristics of live archives like DIVA Station is a constant flow of information, close connection to artistic production and never ending search for more suitable technological solutions for web and physical archiving of contemporary art.

WHAT IS DIVA STATION?

DIVA Station is a physical and web archive of video art which is being developed since 2005 at SCCA with the intent to research, document, present and archive video/media art. Collecting of material for DIVA Station is based on a documentary, archival and research project on video art in Slovenia Videodokument: Video Art in Slovenia 1969-1998, which was developed at SCCA-Ljubljana between 1994 and 1999, and was followed by numerous curatorial selections of the gathered material, introduced under the common title of Videospotting. Videodokument was the first systematic research of video art in Slovenia, and was important in framing terminology and setting theoretic basis for further research.

Web portal DIVA Station is based on a physical archive of video and media art. By now, it contains about a 1000 items of different materials. Apart from artistic works it also contains documentations, television shows about video and new media, documentation of events and individual artists. Various sources are of utter importance for research and understanding of video/media art. It contributes greatly to the possibility of interpretation of art works as well as the context in which they were produced. DIVA Station constantly adds newly acquired works to the archive and promotes an overall understanding of artistic oeuvre by organising discussions and presentations.

Materials from physical archive are available for public viewing at SCCA-Ljubljana Project Room at Metelkova 6, Ljubljana, where we also organise closed discussions with artists that are directly involved with archiving contemporary video art.

DIVA station is a partner archive of GAMA (Gateway to Archives of Media Art) international platform that connects similar European media art archives and enables them better visibility and wider accessibility.
