Select Media is insurgent arts production.
Select is a critical arts project that explores the emerging cultures
in digital media, new music and the visual and outcast arts. We select
the innovators in design, photography, painting, fashion, film, new media
and new sound creation and explore their roles, impacts and meanings in
various formats and presentations. We focus on both local and internationally
created works and distribute representation and extensions of these projects
via our micromedia efforts.
