Video Art Miden
(*Miden means “zero” in Greek)
Video Art Miden is an independent organization for the exploration and promotion of video art.

Through collaborations and exchanges with major international festivals and organizations, it has been recognized as one of the most successful and interesting video art platforms internationally and as an important cultural exchange point for Greek and international video art.
