In this third edition, DiVA Paris offer a selection of 19 international galleries that have dedicated special attention to the work of artists using video and digital media to express themselves. Galleries will use Store front spaces on the lower level of the centre. Other DiVA related events and program will take place at the exhibition space of Le Louvre des antiquaires on the second floor/
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 without the 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 art Arena with local collectors welcoming video pairs a serious part of their collection.
