The curatorial collective of the Open Archive of Ukrainian Media Art (Ianina Prudenko, Anton Lapov, and Yulia Kuznietsova, Larion Lozovoy) are engaged in the research and support of Ukrainian media art. Their attention is focused on both the historiographical problems of Ukrainian media archeology and archiving contemporary works of Ukrainian media art, which is investigated on a regional basis and by genre (visual, auditory, and audiovisual ones). Currently the group together with its foreign colleagues is working on creating new digital tools of analysis and presentation of the elaborated archives.
The website of the Open Archive of Ukrainian Media Art is mediaartarchive.org.ua.
