Case Study (212) 273-1131 www.gallerysystems.com THE IMAI FOUNDATION CATALOGUING TIME BASED MEDIA The City of Düsseldorf established the inter media art institute (imai Foundation) in 2006 as an archive to care for an acquired video collection. The archive contains around 3,000 works of Time Based Media art, and provides context to the history of Time Based Media from the 1970s through today.
