SFMoma has been a leader in the presentation, collection, and preservation of media art since the early 1970s. Our Department of Media Arts, established in 1987, was among the first of its kind in the United States. Today our media arts collection encompasses the diversity of time-based works and media installations, including video, film, slide, sound, computer-based, online projects and performances along with Tate, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the New Art Trust, SFMOMA is an active member of Matters in Media Art, an international consortium dedicated to establishing best-practice guidelines for the care, installation, and preservation of time-based media works.
