Collins' early computer animation works were screened nationally and internationally, at venues including: the London International Film Festivals; the Museum of Modern Art, Rio de Janeiro; Siggraph Las Vegas and Chicago; The Institute of Contemporary Art, London; JAGDA, Tokyo; and the Berlin VideoFest.^{[citation needed]}
