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 authoritive 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,

Update in Progress. Please contact info@computer-arts-archive.com for the latest news. 2025 is going to be a very exciting year!
