DIVA Station
Two video essays about
archiving video/media art

DIVA Station is a physical and web archive of video art which is being developed since 2005 at SCCA-Ljubljana with the intent to research, document, present and archive video/media art. By now, it contains more than 1.000 items of different materials. Apart from artistic works it also contains documentations, television shows about video and new media, documentation of events and individual artists.

Our collaborator Nika Grabar regularly documents DIVA’s off-line projects, educational programs and international seminars. With an artistic touch for video narration Nika Grabar presents in her video works archiving from a different perspective. She says: “DIVA is trying to find memory for images and enable us to think the space of art.”

Format Oblivion
Video essay, author: Nika Grabar, duration: 15 minutes, production: SCCA-Ljubljana, 2012
Documentation and archiving of media art materials has become necessary for the reflection of contemporary art practice and media art. The essey serves as a presentation of seminar How to connect the contents of AV archives? taking place at Vžigalica Gallery, Ljubljana in October 2010. It consisted of exhibition with installation and video works by Dalibor Martinis Data Recovery and video archive jukebox Transitland; lectures by Steven Kovats and Dalibor Martinis, screenings from archives Netherlands Media Art Institute from Amsterdam and DIVA Station and workshop by Wiel Seuskens (NIMk) on digitization of archival contents.

Diva at Škuc Gallery
Video essay, author: Nika Grabar, duration: 16 minutes, production: SCCA-Ljubljana, 2009
Diva at the Škuc Gallery is a video essay produced in the framework of the study exhibition Diva at Škuc Gallery in 2009. The author says: "Archiving is really keeping some kind of memory alive. DIVA is trying to find memory for images and enable us to think the space of art. Without it we are caught in the image of a world that is reproducing us in a mechanical way."
