Organizations, Festivals, and Exhibitions
Below is an extensive list of organizations from around the world many of which are focused on the intersection of the arts and technology.
Many others are contemporary arts centers, which are supportive and show this kind of work as part of their programming. Many of the museums listed are very large organizations, some are small poorly funded organizations, and before contacting, any of these organizations do your research.
If you should choose to submit, your works read their requirements carefully and consider how to best frame your pursuits in light of their conceptual concerns. If you are submitting video art or video as documentation, or CD ROMs or DVD, then be sure you are sending the proper formats for that country.
In all cities, there are media conversion services that will translate your NTSC video to the PAL format for instance that are used in Japan and Parts of Europe.
