Video Art Online: from UBU Films to the Present

很少有澳大利亚视频艺术系统地呈现在网上，也没有关于澳大利亚这一重要艺术实践领域的广泛参考资料。这个项目将创造一种创新的方式来存储、编目、解释和存档视频艺术作品，使用开源软件，将免费提供给其他人使用和开发。该项目对澳大利亚的意义在于：(1)扩大澳大利亚两家最重要的新媒体和当代艺术机构的影响力和知名度；(2)为文化部门提供在线视频档案的开源解决方案；(3)为更广泛的澳大利亚社区提供一个学术性的、易于使用的存储库中的视频艺术作品。

There is little Australian video art systematically presented online, nor is there a broad set of reference materials on this important area of artistic practice in Australia. This project will create an innovative way to store, catalogue, interpret and archive video art works using open source software that will be freely available to others to use and develop. This project presents significant for Australia by:(i) extending the reach and profile of two of Australia's most important new media and contemporary art institutions, (ii) making available open source solutions for online video archives to the cultural sector (iii) providing the broader Australian community access to video art works in a scholarly, easy-to-use repository.
