The open source film Elephants Dream will be screened continuously together with the 'making-of' this film. Elephants Dream is a story about communication and fiction, which as the first open source 3D animated film in the world was deliberately left open-ended. The film itself was brought out under a Creative Commons license, as were all the production files (about 7 gigabytes of data).

All the media art works held by the NIMK can be found in the online catalog www.catalogue.nimk.nl. In addition to the works that the Institute distributes and manages there are also many hundreds of video recordings to be found there, which provide a picture of the developments in practice over thirty years of media art. Especially for our 30th anniversary a number of artists and specialists who have meant a lot to our institute have been invited to conduct a virtual tour through all this material.
Their selections and commentary give the public a personalized tour of the collection or a thematic introduction and insight into a specific part of it, such as for instance performance, expanded media or installations. The tours have their premiere on this anniversary weekend, and after it will be available online.

The only birthday wish the Institute has is to hear from you about how you fell in love with media art. Through the campaign 'How I fell in love with media art' a number of people with love affairs with video art have already sent us (film) material in which they reveal how their infatuation started. These expressions of love are being projected during the anniversary weekend. Is yours there?

Big Art for Little People is a collection of short artistic movies that teaches young children something about the formal language of the visual arts. The movies begin with a recognizable image, which they use as a starting point to explore all nooks and crannies of the imagination. Especially for the young children, Tejo Remy designed a piece of furniture. This viewing set is presented during the weekend at NIMk.
Participating artists: Morad Bouchakour, Hewald Jongenelis, Hester Oerlemans, Dick Tuinder, Marianne Theunissen/Chris Baaten, NEPCO, Dick Hauser, Chok Wah Man, Floris Kaayk, Joost van Veen, Gabriel Lester, Nicolas Provost, Hanazuki, Bart van Dam, Lernert Engelberts/Sander Plug. Big Art for Little Peolpe is a project by Nathalie Faber and Carolien Euser. www.grotekunstvoorkleinemensen.nl
