The ADA Network enables communication between artists, curators, teachers, critics, theorists, writers and the interested public. ADA develops public understanding of digital art through its online forum, through publications and exhibitions, and by touring speakers, holding master classes and symposia.
The ADA ArtBase is a collection of historic and current media art works made or shown in Aotearoa or created by New Zealanders. Submit an artwork using our online form and contribute to our growing archive of media art in Aotearoa.
Works are collected in the Artbase (link in menu above) or http://kete.ada.net.nz/category/artbase/
