Rhizome.org and Rhizome ArtBase

Connect

Rhizome.org is an online platform that supports the global new media art community. Our programs support the creation, presentation, discussion, criticism, and preservation of contemporary art that uses technologies in significant ways. Founded in 1999, the Rhizome ArtBase is an online archive of new media art containing some 1600 art works, and growing. The ArtBase encompasses a vast range of projects by artists all over the world that employ materials including software, code, Web sites, moving image, games and browsers to aesthetic and critical ends.

Please note that though most of Rhizome.org is IP-authenticated, some of their services require a Rhizome login. All MMA staff can create a Rhizome account for free by signing in with their Museum email at the Rhizome Sign Up page.
