On November 12, 2025, The School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) "gutted" Video Data Bank (VDB), the essential moving-image art distributor, archive and streaming platform. The elimination of 60% of its staff, including director Tom Colley, and announcement that it would as a result of this reduction no longer acquire new work, sent shock waves through the video art community, including the hundreds of artists represented by the distributor.
"Other structural and mission changes are happening as well," Colley wrote in an email that was posted to social media. "I have heard that there will be no acquisitions or programming." Colley said that the school had made these decisions "without the knowledge or input of VDB staff," and that the organization's future was "uncertain."
