On this day 6 years ago PAM was officially launched in Beta. Since then PAM grew to over 2000 international member artists and have presented real world exhibitons in over 20 countries. Over the past year or so we have taken it easy on ourselves and tried to concentrate on other passions but never allowed our individual missions to extinguish the flame that continues to drive PAM into the future and its place in art history. We would like to thank everyone that has been a part of an amazing video art journey, please stand by for more from your broadcaster in 2012.

Love and Cheers,
PAM

John Cage and Roland Kirk 1966, A film by Dick Fontaine Originally a Video Google Embed - Updated to YouTube.

[PAM] The Perpetual Art Machine, 2001-2006, Reflections on the first five years of the millennium, is an interactive multimedia spectacle of progressive video, new media and internet art.

By means of a select call for video, artists are invited to participate in this unique experiment in the development of new curatorial technologies. If you are here you may submit.

[PAM] is a research project examining these artists and how they are responding to the turbulent beginnings of a new millennia. These timely artists and collectives show, through video, a strangely prophetic view of our ever-shrinking world, juxtaposing mundane, everyday existence with a direct political commentary on new contemporary life.

[PAM] is a democratic understanding between a computer and the viewer/user.

[PAM] is a collaboration between the artists, Chris Borkowski, Aaron Miller, Raphaele Shirley and Lee Wells.

[PAM] will be premiering at the Scope New York Art Fair, March 10-13, as one of the featured Cinema-scope installations along side projects by Rhizome.org and The New Museum of Contemporary Art.
