First of all, we have to formalize our network. To practice this, we started blog for artists, researchers, and organizations interested in linking and sharing information and media relating to video art in the past present and future on 9 November 2007 ay Gallery Loop in Seoul, Korea.
Also, we can broaden our network to invite people from other institutes which are already existed. To activate blog, we all have to update information as often as we can.

2. Screening program
1) Co-curating program
There are 2 kinds of co-curating programs. One is that all of us will be able to make exhibition together and the other is that we will be able to exchange the screening only. For example, Gallery Loop presents emerging Asian artists’ work in Seoul, Korea and at the same time Gallery Loop allows you to present this show over the Internet in real-time.
2) Traveling exhibition
In the case of Move on Asia, 15 curators from Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea and Singapore participate in this show. They recommend one or two domestic artists to the committee, AAF(Asia Art Forum), and each gallery which get involved in committee will take in charge of Move on Asia in turn which means supervising gallery make all the progress for the show. In the end, this show travels to the participating curator’s country.
