SAW Video Mediatheque

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SAW Video Media Art Centre is an artist-run-centre for artistic production, presentation, and programming of independent video and media arts. SAW Video is based out of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.[1]

The SAW Video Mediatheque was the first online archive for independent media arts in Canada, soft-launched in 2003, and released publicly in 2004.[2] The archive featured 496 videos, streamed in full for free on the Web. The Mediatheque suffered a back-end server crash and lost its database in 2009.[3]

The archive was relaunched October 1, 2011 and continues to showcase over 300 videos.[4]
