DiVA is the first art fair dedicated to video and digital art. Galleries will exhibit works using 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.
Although more humbly than Miami or New York, the Paris art scene has proved to be quite dynamic. Both old and new fresh collectors maintain the tradition of collecting and caring for art work trough generations. DiVA Paris has become a valuable addition to the city's art arena with a growing number local collectors welcoming video as a serious part of their collections.
