and Arts Festival, Split Film Festival, Le Name Media Festival, and 6
consecutive Scope Art Fairs in New York, Miami, London and East Hampton.
[PAM] will be hosting a roundtable discussion to discuss the current state
and future of the medium as it pertains to archiving, production and
collecting video art in the 21st century.
