Marcello mercado - index generator - argentina / alemanha 2004 21min

The vídeo displays a situation where different forms of political and religious indoctrination happened in a space, in an attempt to impose a knowledge, but this imposition never goes smoothly.

Alex killough The Easy Target 10:00 2002 USA

The early morning sound of the radio enters the dream/waking moments of the sleeper. They suggest a non-sequential and tangential end to the interrupted dream. The rhythmic quality of the announcer's voice evokes a shifting pattern of the last images absorbed while in bed, half-conscious the evening before. A remix of sorts ensues combining "A Shot in the Dark", "Top Secret", the nightly news, and canned vegetables. A parade of easy targets, from the Myth of Sisyphus to the awkward anglo to the corporate media.

Raquel Castro – 4x4 – 1:30 – 2004 – RJ

Development of a furniture with the strategy to get a gamma of centered possibilities.

Paul Rawley, David Phillips – Motion test. 1:30 USA - IRL

Motion Test was made while in residency at the Atlantic Center for the Arts in Spring of 2003, where the associate artists in residence were experimenting with video works of very short duration.

Again, as with Condensate, the short duration of the piece led to ideas concerning lifespan, termination, and moments in which our perceptions of reality are pierced. For this piece, excerpts from US Department of Defense films documenting nuclear testing in the 1950's are re-edited and juxtaposed.

Natascha Ampunant blank 2min 2003 Alemanha

Um único olho, que busca algo e que encontra luz, um dialogo simbólico. O olho assume a função do corpo, como um ser que oscila, que está vacilando frente a natureza.

Carlo Sansolo - The condition of the passage – 2004 – 5 min – RJ

The ways of seeing the image, decomposing it, deconstructing it. A way to look at the urban condition. A way to look at the video in itself. The condition of finding a meaning in a visual proposition.

Érika fraenkel – normas e procedimentos – 4:30 – 2004 Com Indira Dominici.

Kazumi Kanemaki - Japanese Traditional Colors 8'00" 2000 - Japão

This work shows the landscapes of Tokyo in the the present time, categorizing in the traditional Japanese colors. It’s ironic composition makes it visible; an unfulfilled interval between the historical quality of language, which is defined as reality, and the arbitrariness of the spectacle.

Pierre Gabriel Periot – Don’t forget we are winning – 7:00 França

We are many, We are uniforms, We smile in the pictures, But We are NOT happy.

Marie Losier – the touch retouched – 2001 – 5 min France

In 1971, Ingmar Bergman mad his only american film, The touch, starring ensemble regulars Max Von Syndow and Bibi Anderson, along with early 70s everyman Elliot Gould. In 2001, Marie Losier decided to recast herself in Gould’s role, breathing new life into Bergman’s most awkward, ill-conceived and dubious filmic endeavor.

Stuart pound – plaza continuum – 4:28 – UK

Slowed down frames, the viewer sees how the impression of a moving image is created. But the sense of both movement and stillness, time and not-time, is even stronger. In this video I have reproduced this digitally with very different effects. The original footage was shot in Cabot Plaza, Canary Wharf, and is a study in colour, texture and pattern, music driven, with images shaped to the hurdy-gurdy music of Remy Couvez

Predrag Pajdic – The garden – 2004 –8:45 - Servia.

The work presents the artist garden, the inner sanctum of Pajdic’s new found home in the UK. The work, shot over a period of 12 months from the exact same spot in his London home, represents the gradual changing of the seasons. This work symbolically acts, as the artist turns his back on the past constantly awaiting the tide of change in his tranquil garden.

Flame schon – phallusy – 2:42 – usa

Sex as a door to the void.

Myriam thyes - mutable worlds – 4 minutes – alemanha – 2004

Six different projections of equal area world maps, orientated towards the south pole, and or the pacific ocean morph into each other. The unusual ives of the world and irritate – in a playful and meditative way – our habits of perception and our belief in detached information.

Ane Lan - Europa – 2003 – Noruega.

A woman, or one who appearing to be so, dressed in a traditional costume is holding up a mirror in which she sees the stars of the EU flag. She starts to sing a song in which she declares her unwillingness to marry someone (read: join the EU), and hoping for a better future in solitude, singing: “If I can rule by myself”. But inside her mirror there is another woman, dressed in the same costume, who eagerly puts the image of an old officer/royality up for auction, signing the contract and selling out the white linen I her brides chest. But suddenly she finds that there is dirt/oil in the bottom of her chest, and the stars of the EU is faded in soon followed by reportage images of excessive consummation, environmental catastrophe and third world starvation…

Songyi Kim – I promise to do something with you – 2 min – 2003 korea.

In this piece, I portray the two opposite personas which coexist in me: Me in real space and another me in the tv monitor. Mimicking the format of family photos or souvenir photos, they evoke the stereotype of the accord between two qualities in me and the deviated emotional situation created by the split.
