Mediamatic Foundation is a cultural institution. We are interested in cultural developments that go hand in hand with new technologies, and in new technologies that cause cultural development.
We organize exhibitions, salons, lectures, workshops and screenings. We develop software and art projects, and are an on-again, off-again publishing house.
Mediamatic Lab, our affiliate organisation, develops websites and social software applications.
Mediamatic.net is a social network site. It offers an overview of our events combined with news and theory. Its content is managed by anyMeta. The topical is combined with heritage in a sometimes fuzzy, but always surprising way. Our sister organisation Mediamatic Lab designs and builds social networksites with Anymeta.
Our exhibition space Mediamatic BANK is located at Vijzelstraat 68. Our office is at Vijzelstraat 72, 3rd floor. Our new space, Mediamatic Fabriek, is located at the VOC-kade on Oostenburgereiland.
Mediamatic Foundation was founded in 1985 as a meeting place and forum for new media- and video artists. It was around this time that Mediamatic launched Mediamatic Magazine, a bilingual, international journal. In 1993 Mediamatic started publishing a now famous series of CD-ROMs. Mediamatic has been present on the WWW since 1993, and has since combined a strong online presence with physical projects for and by communities in the Netherlands and abroad.
