DiVA is the first art fair dedicated to video and digital art. Galleries will exhibit works using the moving image, new media and Digital Photography. 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. Today, cameras and video cameras, digital and otherwise, with the aid of computers, have become the ultimate tool in creating a dynamic arena for artistic expression without the limits imposed by the artist’s physical surroundings.
The concentration of serious collectors in Paris, both contemporary art lovers and those who collect as part of family tradition, makes Paris one of the most important places for exhibiting video art and new media. DiVA Paris promises to be a valuable addition to the city’s art arena with local collectors welcoming video as a serious part of their collections.
