Film and Media Arts Initiative
Kota Ezawa's LIAM 3D
The Film and Media Arts Initiative at the Smithsonian American Art Museum reflects a commitment to develop the museum's film and media arts collections, research resources, and programs. Recent additions to the permanent collection have included works by Jim Campbell, Bill Viola, Cory Arcangel, Vito Acconci, Chris Burden, John Baldessari, Peter Campus, Dennis Oppenheim, Bruce Nauman, Kota Ezawa, and other artists working in film, video, and other time-based media. The Nam June Paik Archive, consisting of research material, documentation, correspondence, sculptural robots, and video and television technology from the artist's estate, is a core part of the initiative.
