  VIDEO ARTe-monitor 31 THE DANISH VIDEO ART DATA BANK

November 23, 2011

With the special February No. 30 [February 8, 
2005] THE DANISH VIDEO ART DATA BANK stopped 
publishing the newsletter, but 
 since things 
have changed within the last couple of months we 
publish once again a newsletter  - No. 31.

Torben Søborg is happy to announce that 
University of Copenhagen / Institute of Art and 
Culture by action of professor Slavko Kacunko 
takes over The  Data Bank, The Archives of 
Independent Danish Video Art and the research 
project “Immaterial Variable Media / Video Art 
Preservation”. It will all become part of the 
Processual Arts Center of Excellence (PACE) at 
the University.

The Archive will become a part of PACE under the 
name Torben Søborg Independent Danish Video Art 
Archive and PACE will also get all printed, 
written and digitalised material concerning the 
Data Bank and the distribution of Danish video 
art through 20 years. The websites of the Data 
Bank will also in the long term be part of PACE

The analogue video works in the Archive will in 
the long term be digitalised and become part of 
the infrastructure. Torben Søborg has required 
that the material must not be used for commercial 
purposes and must only be used / screened with 
the specific information that it a part of the 
Data Bank / Archive and under the auspices of the 
Institute / PACE.

The Archive represent the first about 20 years of 
independent Danish video art. Torben Søborg is 
very happy that this cultural heritage at length 
is taken care of and hopefully preserved – not at 
least thanks to the initiative and work by 
professor Slavko Kacunko.
