The database of contemporary Czech art, i-datum, arose in connection to a research project on the transformation period from the 1980s to the present day. The database is a parallel project to the AVU Research Centre's archive and provides basic information on significant artists and groups, important exhibition projects, gallery institutions and art periodicals of the relevant period. It also features a VVP AVU video archive, a database of contemporary Czech video art and video documentation of Czech art since 1980.
In March 2009 an agreement was concluded with the Prague Centre for Contemporary Art for collaboration between and coordination of the artlist.cz and i-datum.cz databases. On the basis of this agreement the two databases were interlinked, which facilitated searches and improved the quality of provided information. Both database are also preserving their respective natures, i.e. artlist is of a more extensive range attempting to provide an complete view of the diversity of the contemporary Czech art scene, while i-datum is a narrower selection focussed on scholarly processing of the documented material.
