About Mediamatic

Mediamatic is an organisation dedicated to developing and presenting cross-disciplinary art, design, and science practices. With sustainability and social urgency as our core concerns, we have been at the forefront of contemporary culture since 1983.

Since 2025, Mediamatic also joined the the Zoöp network and adopted the Zoöp organisational model - a step towards a mutually beneficial relationship between human and other-than-human life.

We recognise ourselves in the model of a monastery: as a safe haven for knowledge development and transfer, interests in practices that require an investment of time and close attention, shared responsibilities all based on a strong DIY mentality. In the heart of Amsterdam, Mediamatic's residency program provides artists and designers with the space needed to research, develop, and prototype their projects.

Mediamatic serves as an international networkhub with a physical location in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Since 2025, Mediamatic took a step beyond being an art center focusing on sustainability and include the voice of other-than-human beings into the decision making of how we grow as an organisation. 

In order to respect the needs of the surrounding ecosystem, Mediamatic needs to determine its personal regenerative goals. For this we use the Zoönomic Annual Cycle (ZAC), a tool developed by the Zoönomic Institute. It helps organisations review their impact and set priorities each year. 

More info about our organisation, can be found here (Dutch only).

Mediamatic is sponsored by Mondriaan Fonds, Stimuleringsfonds voor de Creatieve Industrie and Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst.
