Study video & audio archive of
contemporary arts
with a focus on video art

In our study video & audio (analogue and digital) archive one can find video works of Slovene and foreign artists as well as programmes and archives of similar organisations and media centres.

SCCA has focused mainly on video production (in Slovenia) which has become recognised as professionally on a very high level and won a lot of international prices and awards. Video is important also as a tool for documentation of civic society movement in the time of a process of liberalisation and democratisation from the early 80's through the time of transition in the 90's.

Ever since 1994 SCCA-Ljubljana systematically deals (collects, documents, researches, reflects and presents) with the video production in Slovenia. This can be seen in the extensive research and documentation project Videodokument: Video art in Slovenia 1969-1998 (a catalogue with documentation, a book of essays, a CD-ROM and a web site, 1999/2001).

Through the years Videodokument has become an important part of the education process in the Slovene educational system: it is the prescribed additional literature for learning and studying and a teaching tool for teaching video art on all levels of education, from primary school, secondary school, to humanistic, social studies and media studies faculties. Slovene and foreign researchers, curators and critics have made their studies, exhibitions and texts on the basis of material - meta data collected and classified in Videodokument as well as on the basis of video archive (analogue and digital).
