The New Media Encyclopedia


Centre Georges Pompidou

The New Media Encyclopedia is the first trilingual English-French-German catalogue of its kind freely available on-line. It is intended as a source of information, a tool for documentary research, and a scholarly work, but also a locus of debate on artistic practices related to the new media.

For this project, the Centre Georges Pompidou, the Museum Ludwig, the Centre pour l'Image Contemporaine and the Fonds national d'art contemporain have pooled information on their respective holdings in order to provide the international public with a reference work bringing together four major European collections.

This catalogue will be expanded progressively: the first part (published in November 1998) covers 43 artists and 233 of their works. The second part (published in 2000) includes 36 new artists and 176 works. The third part of this project is anticipated for 2004 and concerns 182 artists and 256 works. The totality of the artists and works in the collections of the four partners will be available. It is anticipated that other public collections will also join this project and help to enrich it through their collaboration.

re chronology
This chronology obviously reflects an ongoing process. In collaboration with our European partners, we have been able to research most of the main events in Europe and the Americas, but this initiative will undoubtedly be enhanced by new material provided by our future discoveries and the remarks of the public. Unfortunately, we have not yet had either the time or the means to cover developments in Asia, Eastern Europe, or the Middle East.
