ArtVideoExchange(AVE) is an international exchange program and initiative between curators developed to organize exhibition opportunities for video artists worldwide. By promoting the production and circulation of international video programming AVE works to foster a greater appreciation of video art and an exchange of ideas between artists, curators and audiences worldwide.

The other participant of the program, Oslo Screen Festival is an international festival, which focuses on experimental video works that emphasise emerging poetics of the medium, bringing together established and young artists to present their work to Oslo audiences.
