Fast Video was started in 1999 as a facility house for a large group of visual artists with a flair for dynamic media. During the following tumultuous years, the organisation has developed from its original focus on production alone to curating shows of members and guest artists. We hope that PIXEL will continue to function as Fast Video's window on the world, and a meeting place for media-based art practices. Today, the organisation has 70 members with different status: Users, 'resting' members and supporting members. PIXEL primarily runs exhibitions and other arrangements with the work of members, but is open to anyone who can use the gallery's special character. PIXEL is curated by Jeanette Land Schou, Brennan Young and Lennard Grahn.

Since opening in 2005, PIXEL Gallery has had the following exhibitions:

2005
Steen Møller Rasmussen
Det Fynske Kunstakademi (Works from The Funen Art Academy - Curated by Anja Franke and Tine Oksberg)
Jeanette Land Schou
Kassandra Wellendorff
Karen Thastum

2006
Konstkompis (Bettina Fürstenberg with guests)
Marie Römer Westh
Francois Top (France)
Lennard Grahn

Additionally, PIXEL has been used for individual arrangements and talks, for example Netfilmmakers and Pirate Cinema.

Since 2002, Fast Video has produced four compilation DVD's with collections of video works by its members. The characters and dynamic form of video art makes video compilations an effective way to promote and distribute work, and to set up contacts, arrangements and shows.

At alt_cph, three video compilations will be shown: “Turisten/Tourist” (2004), “Konflikt og andre/Conflict and Other” (2005) and for the first time, the compilations “Digitale Dyr” (2006) will be shown, with works by Nina Kleivan, Bettina Fürstenberg, Ingrid Skovgaard, Steen Møller Rasmussen, Brennan Young, Lennard Grahn, Jeanette Land Schou and others.

It will also be possible to explore a broader range of individual artists work.
