Rhizome Partners With Electronic Arts Intermix After Vimeo Censoring

Rhizome has launched video.rhizome.org (VRO), a new self-hosted platform offering dedicated channels for artists, a direct response to Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) facing censorship on Vimeo. This initiative, which saw over 3,000 EAI videos migrate, is a crucial development for emerging women artists. It highlights the inherent risks of relying solely on commercial platforms for your digital art. This move by Rhizome signals a proactive effort within the art community to safeguard artistic freedom and ownership. For early-career artists, it’s a vital lesson: prioritize diversifying where you host your work and actively seek out resilient, artist-centric platforms that ensure your voice and vision remain uncensored and secure. — Source: Artforum
