V2 Institute for the Unstable Media

The V2 Institute for the Unstable Media is a cultural institution in Rotterdam that offers exhibition spaces, research laboratories, and communal areas for digital art and technology. The facilities include workspaces for artistic projects, public exhibition areas, and studios for artists working with new media.

The institute was founded in 1981 and began in a squatted building where a group of artists wanted to start a new direction for experimental media art. Over the following decades, the project grew into a recognized institution that continues to push boundaries in digital art practice.

The institute serves as a meeting place where local and international artists work together on projects that blend art and technology. The spaces reflect this collaborative spirit and create an environment where experimental ideas can develop.

The institute is located near the center of Rotterdam and is easily accessible by public transport. It is worth checking the website for current exhibitions and opening hours, as the program changes regularly throughout the year.

A distinctive feature is the V2_Lab, a space where artists and researchers actively experiment with new technologies and develop prototypes for artistic ideas. This area offers visitors the chance to observe ongoing creative processes rather than just view finished works.
