Akiko Nakamura Kyoko IV 3:50 -2003 - Japão

KYOKO IVis a urban portrait of a figure in time-based, digital way. In retrospect, it exudes a very subtle aversive feeling.

Leonardo Galvão – Syry – Brasil - 2005

New visual metamorphoses, ciborg possibilities between behavior search of the invertebrates and the eroticized mechanical body. The screen of the computer is the environment for the crossing of these two kingdoms: animal and audiovisual.

Luke Lamborn - Tascam 224: trt: 6:40 - 2003

An otherworldly space that runs parallel to this realm, a fragmented alien transmission from a barren wasteplanet of bizarre inhabitants, a signal that became distorted, ghostly, and something very different, as it traveled through the harsh radiation of galactic space and time.

Mihai grecu – iridium- Romenia - 5:00

this work shows the birth and growth of a parasiting object. black hair and black water combine, they overwhelm a body and its environment. diffuse symbols of a dark feminity invade the city in a mesmerizing suite of mental images; it follows the dynamics of lucid dreaming...

Pascal Liévre e Benny Nemerofsky Ramsay - Patriotic Act - 2005 - França e Canada.

The authors sing the law passed from George W. Bush against spying through the rhythm of Celine Dion.

Paul Rowley & David Phillips / Condensate Single Channel. 1:30 USA/Ireland

In Condensate, excerpts from a 1970's 16mm educational film titled "Your Chance to Live" are re-edited and composited with 35mm slides taken from another source. The slides were allowed to decay over time, with the image on each becoming corroded, and transferring some of its photochemistry to its adjacent slide, creating an unusual organic cross dissolve.

ozuland 002 2006 (10min) Carlo Sansolo, 3d animation

The virtual constructions do no have a clear or definitive purpose. But being affirmative impresses and this confidence and the dubious and speculative theory is our objective. We are considering these situations on this video.

Larissa Sansour – Happy days – Palestina/ Dinamarca – 3:00 - 2006

Happy Days is a video that exposes everyday Palestinian life under Israeli

occupation. In the video, a collage of footage shot on location in the

occupied territories is accompanied by the theme music from the seventies

sitcom “Happy Days”. The piece provides imagery different from that of news

footage. The contrasting music underlines the general public’s apathy when


Erika Fraenkel -Bom dia Jackie – 4:40 - 2006

A video that reconstructs a text of Jaques Derrida, a text about circunfection, and it is about the metaphor of the farewell

russians Galina Myznikova & Sergey Provorov - wet chicken - russia - 4:00

We are concerned with the theme of violence not the explicit bodily or disciplinary kind of violence, but the kind of violence which imperceptibly penetrates into the life of each of us and destroys our freedom. The media environment around us harbors quite a few sources of danger and compulsion, e. g. advertisements. The advertisements intrude into our audiovisual space, subjecting us imperiously to their rhythm, vocabulary, to say nothing of imposing things to choose. Our \"soaked hen\" is a (ironic) metaphor of a weak-willed object of violence. Soaking and drying the girl in front of the video camera we deliberately achieved commercial attractiveness and high image quality. There would be no difference between this work and any to which the model girl was exposed when the commercial was being shot.

Michoacan: La Muerta, directors: Sabine Gruffat and Ben Russell - 8:00 - 2006

Makeshift folklore for an uncertain world.

Shot in the Mexican state of Michoacan and constructed using the same techniques employed in the Surrealist parlor game of the “Exquisite Corpse”, this video holds a mirror up to the unseen, hallucinates and reflects it back into the everyday forever and ever and ever. The work is about “tourism” in every sense of the word: the fascination and fear of the strange/other, the obsessive need to document and record experience, and the destabilizing effect of foreign environments on identity. Real and imagined characters populate this two-part video in a continual reversal of roles, forcing the viewer to decide which is the real and which is the imaginary.

Alexandre Milagres - Felicidades Palestina -2004 - 00:03:50

Documentary video made in celebration of the 69th anniversary of Palestine.

Sagi Groner – Misshapen -2006 -19:35 min

A pilot, a DJ, a Kung-Fu master and software developers meet together and enjoy Apples by courtesy of Lockheed Martin.

Composed entirely of images found in the internet, Misshapen is a meditation on vision machines and the philosophy of precision.
