The Computer Arts Archive CIC

The Computer Arts Archive CIC is a not-for-profit company that collects, exhibits and promotes computer arts to benefit artists, audiences, curators, educators and researchers. We produce authoritative AI datasets about computer art and collaborate with other collections, museums and galleries to explore the impact of digital culture and ensure that computer art is recognised as a significant contemporary art form with a rich and diverse history. In particular, we work closely with the Computer Arts Society, a member-based organisation founded in 1968, and the R10 Electronic Media Studio in Leicester. The Computer Arts Archive was founded in 2020 by Sean Clark.

The CAA Wiki

The Computer Arts Archive Wiki is a core part of our plan to create a world-class online computer art heritage resource to match our world class physical collection. Until we are happy with the configuration and update processes, we are limiting edit access to the Wikit to project administrators only. We will then open up the project to more contributors.
