FACT (Foundation for Art and Creative Technology) is the UK's leading organisation for commissioning, exhibiting, promoting and supporting artists' work and innovation in the fields of film, video, and new media.
FACT has commissioned and presented over 250 digital media artworks with artists including Mark Wallinger, Barbara Kruger, Tony Oursler, Pipilotti Rist, Vito Acconci and Isaac Julien .
Originally founded in 1989 FACT's mission was to inspire and promote the artistic significance of film, video and new media. Twenty years on, and still the UK's primary exponent of innovative digital media, our aim is to pioneer new forms of artistic and social interaction with emerging creativity.
We believe in the ability of individuals and communities to express themselves creatively, and work with international artists to develop exhibitions, increase knowledge about new technologies and to create new commissions with people living and working in Liverpool.
FACT Programme is the artistic core of the organisation, commissioning projects by artists in film, video and new and emerging media forms and working with a wide variety of partner organisations. Collaboration and Education works across four key areas: housing, health, young people and education, and with local communities through pioneering projects such as tenantspin.
Media Services supports and develops the national infrastructure for artists and exhibitors working with video and new and emerging media forms. As well as managing the Medialab, a training and workshop room, activities include: the Moving Image Touring and Exhibition Service (MITES), the national technical support service for artists and exhibitors; Digital Mastering, New Tools training courses, FACT Online Archive and FACT TV.
