Audiovisual art works are stored on carriers which<br />

are very vulnerable to faulty use, wear and tear. In<br />

time, these carriers will inevitably encounter failure<br />

and become obsolete. PACKED, Platform for the<br />

Archiving and Preservation of Audiovisual Arts, is<br />

an organisation concerned with the questions how<br />

to prevent this important part of contemporary art<br />

production from getting lost because of its<br />

dependency on technology and how to ensure that<br />

these works of art will be exhibited in the future and remain accessible to the<br />

public. It was founded by Argos (Brussels), M HKA (Antwerp), S.M.A.K. (Ghent)<br />

and MDD (Deurle) in 2005 and wants to act as an umbrella organisation for the<br />

development and the dissemination of knowledge about the documentation,<br />

preservation and distribution of audiovisual arts and audiovisual documents on<br />

art. It provides knowledge and offers services in relation to these topics to the<br />

art world and to institutions involved with cultural heritage.<br />
