Media Artist of the Month is a series of video programmes presenting artists working with media and technology through interviews and documentation of art projects. The aims of the programme are to document media art projects and practices and to share perspectives of media art with new audiences.

Launched in 2008 as a key programme of the M2HZ channel, the series ran until 2015 and includes interviews and video portfolios of over 40 artists.

Most of the programmes are now archived in the National Audiovisual Institute KAVI's collection. A selection of them is presented on this site and m-cult's Vimeo channel.
