Studio XX is the only artist-run, media art resource centre in Canada whose mandate centers on a feminist reading of the ways in which women relate to new technologies, while contributing to contemporary media art and the information sciences.

Founded in Montreal in 1996, Studio XX assists the production and dissemination of media art such as web art, digital audio, multimedia performances and other networked practices. Through the internationally recognized HTMlles Festival of Media Art and Networked Practices, the monthly Femmes br@nchées (Wired Women) salons, artists residencies, cutting-edge training workshops, co-production initiatives, the circulation of commissioned critical essays in its online journal .dpi, radio broadcasts on the weekly show The XX Files, year-long commissioned artworks workshops and anytime member-access to its Open Source Linux Lab, Studio XX supports artists in their experimental, creative, and critical appropriation of digital tools, offering both a physical and virtual space for exchange between artists and the general public, and for innovative and engaged collaborations between artists, technicians, scientists, scholars and activists.

Studio XX encourages initiatives that examine the underlying possibilities of the Net as a medium for communication, facilitating the emergence of new forms of networked collaboration, even new modes of citizenship. The Studio fully supports the development of a digital democracy which values autonomy, collaboration, information- and content-sharing, and the use of free and Open Source technologies.
