From 1982 to 2004 World Wide has presented 22 editions of its media art festival. World Wide has always been, and will continue to be, a platform for media artists to present their work. For many of these artists it would have been their first appearance in an international setting. The festival included all forms of media art: single screen (video, film, net-art, cd-rom) and performance art. The exhibitions and presentations took place at various locations, such as the Gemeentemuseum in Den Haag, the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and the Melkweg Amsterdam, to name but a few. Each edition has been documented in an extensive catalogue.
