LOOP is a platform devoted to the research and promotion of moving images founded in 2003. It offers a curated collection of video content to a specialized audience and collaborates with an international network of artists, curators, gallery owners, collectors, and directors of institutions focusing on the development of projects that aim to explore the possibilities of videos and moving images. VIDEOCLOOP is a public platform devoted to the preservation, promotion, and research of experimental films and videos by contemporary artists. It offers online access to a collection of videos that mainly consists of works that have been presented during the different editions of the LOOP exhibition. The platform is directed both at the academic and professional field since it's a key tool for universities, cultural institutions, research centers, institutions that focus on cultural management, and individuals who are involved in the art market. The project arose from a precise evaluation of the different modalities of distribution, circulation, and reception of moving images in the digital broadcasting and internet era.

bak.ma (which means “don't look” in Turkish)* is a digital media archive for social movements, which appeared following the mass social protests in Turkey in 2013, known as Gezi Park Resistance. Through making knowledge and memory something collective, bak.ma radicalizes the policies of the archive and reveals the possibility of creating a living memory of these social movements. The archive includes a collection of videos, gathered from the 60s until today, which show incidents and political movements all throughout Turkey’s history. The platform is constantly expanding its hands-on approach, which brings users to generate content by uploading documents and activists clips, which transforms the archive into a collaborative effort. Since 2018, users of other countries have started uploading their own clips, writing, pictures and audio recordings.

AMM - Archivio delle memorie migranti – founded in Rome in 2012, after a five-year project status in the Italian school for foreigners and asylum seekers created by the Asinitas organization – is a “community of practice” made up of people that follow common goals from different and multiple points of view and are committed to generate a new form of communication, hands-on and interactive, that can leave traces of the ongoing migration processes and at the same time allows the inclusion of “othered” memories in the collective heritage of Italian society.
AMM bases its activities on adopting hands-on methods that favor recognizing and valuing multiple expressive forms: from testimony collection to production of personal tales, from the creation of audios and videos the students participate to, to the development of adequate learning material.
