Video art has become one of the prominent genres of 20th-century art. With this initiative project by the German Federal Cultural Foundation it now becomes part of our cultural heritage. Five leading art institutions in Germany have joined forces to collaboratively organize a symposium on digital heritage and present a parallel 'copied' exhibition within five different contexts: K21 Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, Dusseldorf; ZKM Zentrum fur Kunst- und Medientechnologie Karlsruhe; Kunsthalle Bremen; Museum der Bildenden Kunste Leipzig; Stadtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus Munchen.
