Diva New York 07

Embassy Suites Hotel, New York

Video and Digital Art Fair

DiVA is the first art fair dedicated to Video and Digital Art. Since the invention of photography, nothing has had a greater impact on artistic practice than the emergence of the personal video camera and, later, digital technology. Now, with the aid of computers, the cameras and video camcorders have become the ultimate tools in creating a dynamic arena for art making, regardless of the final product. With the advent of video and computer technology, artists are no longer restricted by their immediate technical parameters. DiVA first edition was titled "Moving Images" a one night exhibition on November 15th 2003 at the Windsor Hotel in New York. In 2005, DiVA premiered in New York, Brussels, Cologne, and Paris. In 2006, DiVA will premiere in Miami Beach.

Because of its focus on Digital & Video Art, DiVA has a unique approach. While geared toward the future to bring the next art here, DiVA acknowledges the past through the artists and works that have pioneered this great art form. Since its first edition, DiVA has paid tribute to Nam June Paik, Bruce Nauman, Jonas Mekas and Andy Warhol. Catalogues are also designed to put artists first. Each artist is given 2 pages, listed by name in the catalogue. The gallery information, rather than occupying a large portion of the design as in most exhibition catalogues, in the DiVA catalogue takes a smaller space, about 1/5 of a page per gallery. This layout emphasizes the artist above all. DiVA is the first art fair to offer to view actual video online and is now the only art far to offer the public an opportunity to purchase art work online.
