1) Video title: A DOLL'S HOUSE IS...... Author's name: Gwiazda Henry A doll's house is...... is a work which explores the artistic connection between movement that occurs in an apartment building, other units in that building and the exterior world. It shows that each motion, whether it is made by human, animal, object, light or sound, is connected and extended by other motions to compose a phrase, a sentence of great artistic interest. For example, a man is exercising in his apartment. As he makes one gesture, another gesture is made in an apartment next to his-which is connected to a light which gets turned on in another part of the building-which is connected to a sound which occurs somewhere else. Each movement by itself is meaningless, boring, cliched. But seen as one component of a larger artistic phenomenon, it becomes important, meaningful.
2) Video title: A-FUSION Author's name: Barbara Zenobi "A-Fusion" was born with the aim to present and show different visions on one of life essential elements: Water. In this video, such a simple resource but yet so precious, gets in touch with other elements of our daily life, thus creating a game of fusions, relationships, transformations of extraordinary beauty and charm. We often have the chance to cheer our eyes with suggestive and satisfying visions but we are mostly “looking without watching” and everything passes by as if nothing happened.
3) Video title: AISLADO Author's name: Freixes Ribera Gerard Videowork on how loneliness may be found in a desert island or in the middle of a big urban crowd.
4) Video title: BOXES (CAJAS) Author's name: Tamajon Fernando Garcia (aka Malaventura) My latest video is called Cajas (boxes) and try to see the soul and dreams of that inheres objects in the moment they are empty and useless, free imagining everything.
5) Video title: BREATH Author's name: Estevan Bruno Necessary alternation of breathing is the manifestation of the irremediable dichotomy affirmation/negation in the artist's soul.
6) Video title: COMPOUND EYES Author's name: Junichiro ISHII & Burcu COSTUR Modern society seems growing up towards clarifying the notion that "people are not able to understand each other eternally" rather than urging the one that "people are able to understand each other. "This is an archive of site-specific installation "Chai on the Balance". Since I began to get interested in the "process" of creation itself, through various approaches, I have been trying to capture and visualize special "creative atmosphere" between humans which occasionally appears in a process of collaboration. The main concept of this video is "collaboration" itself. Using the same video materials, this piece was edited by two artists Junichiro ISHII (JP) and Burcu COSTUR (TR), without any discussions. These two artists have already shared the same "process" from different points of view while the collaboration of practical works. Comparing two different angles, this video work will be a trial to grasp the reality of creative atmosphere and to urge you to consider un-recordable feelings. 7) Video title: DAL VUOTO Author's name: Grasso Giacomo Images of liquids are moving on the screen, music comes along... texts emerge from emptiness...
8) Video title: DI CULLA IN CULLA... Author's name: NERVO e TES (Paola Setti e Gennaro Rino Becchimanzi) From cradle to cradle... from life to life, we increase our awareness and our “function” in a society dumb of consequence. The interdependence of all the phenomena makes possible to achieve a universal “knowledge” making us free and aware of our own nature and our own power of action not to depend from environment but to act it by one’s self. Therefore, the installation “di culla in culla...” focuses on the origin of knowledge origin that is existential awareness, requirement for a knowledge able to create human value. 50 metres of braids, symbol of our lives passing by one after the other, reporting the cycle of birth and death as the continuous flow of life. Eight – the number symbolizing infinite – are the braids nests bringing back to the center, the origin of everything and our experiences following one another are thought as a dance bringing to the awareness from cradle to cradle...
9) Video title: DREAMS OF THE GARDEN Author's name: Bahmermann Bill "Dreams of the Garden" is a visual poem which examines the eternal mystery of Feminine beauty, seduction, original sin, the fall from grace, and finally remorse. It is perhaps easier to describe the film by first listing what it does not have. "Dreams of the Garden" has no dialogue, no script, no jump cuts, no wit, no irony, and no intellectual underpinnings. What this modest short film does have is: poetry, elegant visuals, transcendental music and great beauty. This mesmerizing film slowly draws the viewer into an ancient floating dream which uses the oldest of all narratives to pay homage to eternal Feminine Beauty.
10) Video title: EDEN Author's name: Jessica Iapino Eden gardens, Adam and Eve. Origins. Eden as entertaining park. Ancient, medieval and contemporary present. Blown-up dolls as game tools, lifeless beings, objects representing sexual lust. Chastity belts as ancient torture tools. Two opposites extreme on many points. Forced chastity as imposed sexuality.
11) Video title: ENERGIE! Author's name: Thorsten Fleisch From a mere technical point of view the tv/video screen comes alive by a controlled beam of electrons in the cathode ray tube. For Energie! an uncontrolled high voltage discharge of approx. 30.000 volts exposes photographic paper which is then arranged in time to create new visual systems of electron organization.
12) Video title: FRAME 2007 Author's name: Orion Eden The Video is about Beauty, Simplicity and Recursion.
13) Video title: HOMECOMING ARTIST Author's name: Shahar Marcus In the video work home coming artist you can see me driving with my parents in my hometown Petah Tikva which is a small city near Tel Aviv. During the ride the people of the town are being asked do they know or heard about the artist. None of the people know and most of them don't care about art at all. The drive implicates the gap between the art scene and the common citizen in small towns such as my hometown.
14) Video title: INTERNO7 Author's name: NERVO e TES (Paola Setti e Gennaro Rino Becchimanzi) “Interno” is an unconscious place where what we lived, thought and the result of ourselves perception related to others is worked out again. In “Interno7” this place of mind is reflected in the homeplace here represented as a “private stage” of acted more than intimate relationships. The private physical space becomes subject of reflection on our states of mind and on a society which is its collective sum.
15) Video title: MAIEUTICA Author's name: Andrea Fossati, Alessandro Rizzo, Luca Roggero “Maieutica” is the contemporary cave where darkness abuses light, shadow is distorted vision cheating the perception. In it the decaying width of productive emptiness, leaves space to a catharsis of a rational and creative becoming. In synthesis it is the movement confronting with stillness and trying to fill in spaces.
16) Video title: MAYA HAS A GUN Author's name: Lotan Tal Maya has a Gun is a visual trip into the mind of a girl named Maya, and fragments of Maya's relationship with the author, as they are reflected by him.
17) Video title: METAMORPHOSIS - LIBERO MOTO DI CORPI FLUIDI - Author's name: Minniti Simona Metamorphosis was born form the hypnotic observation of a wax lamp. The everlasting movement of bubbles, "life" appearing to take advantage on bodies naturally lifeless and the feeling of growth, constant and relentless mutation going along this object so loved during 70s. It is from these premises that the creation of a piece developed in 4 sections, each presenting a “peculiar movement”, associated to a title (Pulses; Wax dance; Wakes; Drops of Soul), hiding in itself a precise meaning.
18) Video title: EL SUEÑO DE MILO/ MILO'S DREAM Author's name: Sanchez Lopez Elvira Her present interests are focused on animation cinema, video art, new art languages (for example: classical painting tradition applied to novel digital techniques), and web & multimedia
19) Video title: NIJUMAN NO BOREI Author's name: Périot Jean-Gabriel
20) Video title: PALAREL PARKING Author's name: Kentaro Yamada In this video, I was interested in movements, mental and physical space, and their associations with rituals such as Japanese tea ceremony.
21) Video title: PROMENADE Author's name: Junichiro ISHII This video is related to the site-specific installation project, "Rue de L'infinite". In the epoch of modernization, we are consuming a lot of primal energies which we need to leave to our future generations. We can easily imagine that nature is not an eternal donor to humans. However, no matter how much we are all aware of the necessity for restraint, humanity seems it must consume nature to make its idea of a utopia. I have made a wooden sidewalk which has the form of the symbol for infinity. Although I called this work a sidewalk, actually it does not function as one, because the required entrance and exit of a sidewalk's function are excluded due its infinity symbol form. It aims at inviting people to a meaningless promenade. Drawing this ancient symbol in to a natural landscape, my intent was to create a non-functioning sidewalk. Infinity is a concept that attends many metaphors from ancient wisdom, often depicted by a snake which consumes its own tail eternally. The video work "PROMENADE" is a metaphor for the accelerating human society, which, as depicted here, begins at 100%, or Normal, speed. It accelerates gradually to a speed 128,000% of Normal. In the 128,000% segment, the performance consists of walking just 100 metres, but takes three hours. The work is a challenge to an Un-functional or Meaningless Thing. Furthermore, it addresses the notion of non-function, or "without meaning" in this case; I pose a question to the increasing modern consumerism that results from the utopian yearnings sought after by humans.
22) Video title: REALITY Author's name: De Gennaro Silvia We live our lives hoping to improve ourselves, while possibly we were born to live through our imperfections. Our Identity defines itself at the time we express our weaknesses: eternal life is faultless and anonymous, the one on earth short, deceptive, superficial, but just because of this, fabulous. We live and die to reach heaven, to be born we get away from it. Life meant as "Reality Show" of souls, as an opportunity to escape from eternal monotony. Close-up fixed on a little girl, floating soul awaiting for her own birth.
23) Video title: RGB Author's name: MALC (Massimiliano Acerra / Lorena Canulli) RGB mark indicates the chromatic system of the video decomposing images in three primal colours Red Green Blue, this split gives the cue to an analysis of reality which is split itself in three different views still related from the emotions these colours “instinctively” evoke; and then Reaction faces the movements of bodies, the spasm of flesh; Grace looks for the beauty of nature through a minimalist glance to things; Bounds leads to a state of discomfort due to the impact of the city.
24) Video title: SALA D'ATTESA Author's name: Casari Morena The waiting room as possible place for meeting, exchange and communication with others.
25) Video title: SEEK ASSISTANCE Author's name: Shah Vishal 'Seek Assistance' is an aesthetically dark myth projected as noise and interference which intensifies with intrigue and mystery. The delicate investigation of micro materials is echoed by intricate lighting effects that appear to print the subject upon one's eye. This micro interplay between sight and sound firstly illuminates the subject yet hints at macro forms that exist past the light, beyond any sound, and ultimately transcend the physical frame. In this video Vishal exploits a halftone image; the process used in print to reproduce an image with continuous tone is sequenced to create a series of still moving images, which is printed / projected by light onto a subject. 'The video 'Seek Assistance' takes us to the starting point of a tube journey when our valid ticket is rejected. The system refuses to allow our passage. This is a work composed out of sharp and exact editing, distinct configurations of abstract light, form and image within the suggestion of a narrative collision. Visually there are strong hints of early modernist cinema and photography, Man Ray, Rodchenko and Moholy Nagy appear as possible reference meeting visual forms that derives from a fast world of commercial video. We are left in a state of an in-between of passage, combined with interruption and detour. This is the place that a subject might either be composed or undone.'
26) Video title: SNOWFAKES Author's name: Foster Emily Alden foray into stop-motion animation, made with a consumer-grade digital camera and a borrowed iBook, over the course of a winter spent in rural Missouri. The film, comprised of 2000 individually captured stills compiled over four months, serves as an exercise in 'emotional texture.' Images and objects representing Foster's fond memories of her winter home -- rocks, sticks, snow, fabric, unspooled VHS tape, candles, old maps and photographs -- are interpolated with carefully choreographed paper cutouts, progressive drawings, and Spirographs. A speechless soundtrack by tape-folker Flowers completes a work seeking to exist outside of idioms, instead appealing directly to the viewer's sense of comfort and warmth.
27) Video title: SUPERIMPOSING L.A. Author's name: Roßbacher Gerald
28) Video title: THE ART RECEPTION Author's name: Kristiansen Ulf A figurative painter holds an art reception. The critics and the audience are less than impressed by his art project (depicting male pornstars) and they tell him so. He does not take the critisism well. He looses his mind completely and starts hallucinating before passing out. In his dreams he gets his revenge. But dreams are short-lived.
29) Video title: THEM - ME Author's name: Boukhari Nisrine In this video art I use black and white, because colors cover the reality and I present the photographer and the model as equal. One person-it?s me- is existing with little tools, inside this music which composing of three sounds; it makes them six elements, to reach to the concept of the hexagon which consider as the most powerful type, and that lead us to the origin of creation in the west presented by (the father, the son, and the holy ghost), and the origin of the creation in the east presented by (the humanity, the soul, and the body) To get complete image about concept of creation
30) Video title: TRAVEL TRIP Author's name: Pesce Michele A progressive scansion of initial images deciding the journey (TRIP) to undertake, at first during the day, then in the night, characterized by the very fast rhythmic of New York city. The video has been realized with traditional techniques of editing with Final Cuts and After Effect.
