Line Initiative and Movement

Line Initiative and movement was founded in 2006 as an independent platform for support of artists who work in the field of new media art and technology. It targets to find and present young artists that use different tools for their production. The core team consists of art historians, curators, designers, cultural managers, visual and sound artists. All these backgrounds and experiences of the members are crucial for the richness of the program and organization development. Through the realization of more than one event monthly and open for sharing the know-how, it enables creation of the supportive environment for further artistic production.
