The story of the collection

LIMA’s collection includes media artworks dating back to the early experimentalists in the 1960’s to present day. We are proud to present the work of well-known international artists and emerging talent in the field of video art and born-digital art, from Nam June Paik to Nicolas Provost.

Catalogue

Welcome to LIMA’s online catalogue. Here you will find over fifty years of media art and over three thousand works by more than five hundred national and international artists. LIMA distributes narrative and medium-specific works and performance registrations from emerging artists like Melanie Bonajo, Broersen & Lukács, Julika Rudelius, Giovanni Giaretta and Zeno van den Broek to pioneers like Marina Abramovic, The Vasulkas, UBERMORGEN, Nan Hoover, Livinus van der Bundt and Ulises Carrión.

LIMA’s collection is open for research and is constantly consulted by large numbers of students, journalists, researchers, programmers and curators from the Netherlands and abroad. The collection, online catalogue and archive are a crucial source for the (future) history of (Dutch) media art
