pvi collective

Founded in 1998 and based in Whadjuk Noongar Country in Perth, pvi collective is a tactical media art group that creates agitational participatory artwork to creatively disrupt everyday-life and insist on policy change on a range of contemporary issues. The collective uses gameplay alongside emerging, familiar, and DIY technology to explore the social dynamics of the cities individuals inhabit. They create playfully subversive performances and interventions that invite genuine engagement, transforming our perceptions of space, cities, and environments. Their work aims to turn audiences into activists.

pvi’s ultimate goal is to save the world through creative play and revolutionary fun, maintaining that art can be wielded as a powerful tool for generating systemic change. Through public interventionist projects they examine and challenge the ways power and privilege shape modern society. The team’s diverse backgrounds in intervention, visual art, activism, performance, live art, video, sound art, movement, and programming all contribute to their interdisciplinary artworks, which the collective displays in galleries, public sites, and alternative spaces.

Since its incorporation in 2008 as a Australian Public Company Limited by Guarantee and a registered charity (with Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status, meaning their supporting donations are now tax-deductible), pvi collective has been supported by a passionately dedicated board with a wide range of experience in arts law, transmedia, architectural urban planning, and arts management.
