Media Arts Study and Profile, Phase 1

Based primarily on 71 interviews with individuals involved in the media arts, this report provides a snapshot of Canada’s media arts sector in 2003, including significant information about media artists, media arts organizations and funding organizations. The report profiles a sector that is rapidly changing, difficult to define, very active, and struggling to find money for its activities. While many artists,  especially younger artists, are turning to the media arts to explore their creative vision, many expressed concern over the exhibition opportunities for their works. Along with a profile of the media arts sector, the report highlights some impacts of the media arts, challenges and needs in the sector, information and data needs, and priority areas for action by government and service organizations.
