It includes also the artists' Internet Portfolio, [[Artservis.org|Artservis]]' Collection, and [[Videospotting]] as well as seminars, exhibitions and discussions with the aim to inform professionals and wider public about the theoretical, practical and artistic aspects of the audiovisual archives of contemporary art. 

The DIVA Station premièred at Škuc Gallery in June 2009 and was officially launched in October 2011 at Kapelica Gallery.

==Videospotting programme==

''Videospotting''  offers a series of surveys or thematic programmes of Slovene video art curated by SCCA-Ljubljana's curators ([[Barbara Borčić]], [[Ida Hiršenfelder]], etc.) and invited experts ([[Nerina Kocjančič]], [[Igor Španjol]] to name just two). Since 1994 ''Videospotting'' is annually presented up to 6 times. Presentations are featured at various international and national showcases mostly in a form of screenings and exhibitions accompanied by lectures. 

Recent screenings of ''Videospotting'' took place abroad at the festival Ars Electronica in Linz (Austria, 2009), the Lux Centre in London (UK, 2011), the Arsenal Gallery in Poznan (Poland, 2010), the Townhouse Gallery in Cairo (Egypt, 2008 and 2010) and at the Transmediale festival in Berlin (Germany, 2008).

== GAMA (Gateway to Archives of Media Art) ==
