VIVO Media Arts Centre is Vancouver’s backbone for media art production and education, distribution and exhibition. Signal & Noise is a highlight of VIVO’s programming. Created ten years ago in response to Vancouver’s explosive contemporary arts underground, Signal & Noise has become an essential and intimate forum for creative exchange, experimentation and dialogue around media art.
What began as the Satellite Video Exchange Society in 1973 later became Video In/ Video Out and has most recently morphed into VIVO Media Arts Centre. Rebranding represents our dedication to experimentation and cross-pollination of all media technologies and processes including video, audio, gaming, electronics, cyberarts and new genres. Located at 1965 Main Street in Vancouver BC Canada, VIVO is a non-profit education, production, exhibition and distribution centre. VIVO has been a landmark in Vancouver’s artist run centre community for over thirty-five years and is an invaluable member Canada’s contemporary arts community. VIVO maintains an active commitment to an open and inclusive cultural and artistic community. www.vivomediaarts.com
