[PAM] @ Scope New York 2007 on Plum TV

For those of you that dont know already. [PAM] was originally created for Scope New York in 2006 by the artists Lee Wells, Chris Borkowski, Aaron Miller and Raphaele Shirley as a one-time collaborative installation and open source web 2.0 research and archive project. [PAM] has since grown into a vibrant and progressive international community of curators, academics, collectors, writers and most importantly the artists who choose video, interactive media and the Internet as vehicles to express themselves in the new century. [PAM]’s unique interactive touch-screen system, allows for the artist and viewer to become an active participant in the curatorial process by allowing them to better inform their experience through engagement with thousands of video works from some of today’s most exciting international emerging video artists.     It has been through these newly formed relationships that [PAM] has traveled the project to over 10 countries through its installation and special screenings that include the 2nd Moscow Biennial of Contemporary Art, ART|BASEL Miami Beach, WRO07 Media Art Biennale, Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, and the Lentos Art Museum, in addition to numerous incarnations at Scope Art Fairs over the past 2 years. Most recently, [PAM] organized the exhibition “Video Art in the Age of the Internet” at the Chelsea Art Museum. In October, [PAM] will be included in an exhibition at the National Centre of Contemporary Art in Moscow and Yekaterinburg Russia called “Drift” a satellite exhibition to “In Transition Russia 2008” curated by Helene Black and Sheila Pinkel of NeMe.

"If there is any movement or group of artists who have inherited the mantel of Nam June Paik it is this group, although of course they are doing their own thing." - Michael Rush, Art Basel, Art Salon, December 2006 In Memoriam Nam June Paik, 1932–2006
