*Celebrating 25 YEARS of the ARCHIVE OF DIGITAL ART (ADA)*
Join us celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Archive of Digital Art (ADA). For over a quarter of a century, ADA has been a leading project dedicated to digital art, with a background of more than 35 years. It has grown to become one of the most significant online archives for digital art, documenting the rapidly evolving world of digital art and its related fields. In cooperation with established media artists, researchers and institutions it today documents thousands of artworks at the intersection of art, science and technology:  <http://www.archive-digitalart.eu> www.archive-digitalart.eu

*ADA: Home to Thousands of Artworks*

With several thousand events, 1000+ institutions, 3500 Articles and several thousand documented art works and their technical data ADA represents the scientific selection of 800 artists of 5000+ evaluated artists. We invite you to explore our Artist & Scholar Features  <https://www.archive-digitalart.eu/features/featured-artists.html> https://www.archive-digitalart.eu/features/featured-artists.html

Discover the works of JEFFREY SHAW, with 148 documented artworks of his oeuvre. Shaw’s artworks are milestones of technological and cultural innovation that have had seminal impact on the theory, design and application of digital media in art, society and industry, and his artistic achievements are amongst the most cited in new media literature. https://www.archive-digitalart.eu/database/artists/general/artist/shaw.html

*ADA‘s Future as a Hub*

As a scientific archive, ADA has been globally oriented since its inception. Reflecting this, we have adopted the new URL  <http://www.archive-digitalart.eu> www.archive-digitalart.eu, signifying a role as a HUB. In the future, the ADA database will be made for free to qualified initiatives in countries with a long-established media art scene but lacking a database adapted to digital cultures. A Europe-wide call will be published and an international jury will select the winning initiatives. These archives can aggregate to a European network and beyond.

*Connected Archives* 

ADA has been part of a global information network alongside other leading archives (ISEA, SIGGRAPH, FILE, ZKM, ARS...). Our goal is to realize the forward-looking *Liverpool Declaration*, signed by over 500 colleagues since 2011  <https://www.mediaarthistory.org/?page_id=557> https://www.mediaarthistory.org/?page_id=557. This aims to document and improve access to digital contemporary art through an interoperable network of archives. Join us for our next Summit on New Media Art Archiving from June 25-26th @ ISEA2024 Brisbane. Developing program:  <https://isea2024.isea-international.org/program> https://isea2024.isea-international.org/program

*ADA Mission* 
Digital Art, due to its processual, ephemeral, interactive, technology-based and fundamentally context-dependent character, risks extinction without adequate documentation. ADA is based on an expanded concept of documentation, which takes account of the specific conditions and needs of digital art. Museums and collectors who want to build up a collection of digital art will find the necessary information in ADA.
