    The Israeli Centre for Digital Art is a dynamic platform for thinking, researching, producing, presenting, and analyzing contemporary art, as well as providing a meeting point for exchange between contemporary artists, curators, critics and the public. Since it was established in 2001 in an abandoned school building in the industrial area of Holon, the centre has grown quite rapidly from a one-room gallery a few years ago. The centre is a non-profit organization supported by the city of Holon. As a public art space it consistently questions the place of art institutions within their society, and brings to the front political and social issues that are believed art should not be ignoring. By expressing views that do not correlate in many cases with policies of the state, the definition of an art institute and a publicly financed art space are examined and put into test. In an effort to stimulate discourse in Israeli society, the centre devotes a significant part of its work to art projects that foster questions about identity, ethnicity, nationalism and cultural exchange. The activities of the centre are concentrated in five main areas: the video archive, public presentations, the residency program, publications, and education.
