Re-focussing The Lens. New Media And Film Festival

Julianne Pierce
A familiar exhibition platform for artists working in the media art field is the international art and technology festival circuit. It is a healthy scene, with regular events such as Transmediale (Germany), Ars Electronica (Austria), ISEA (various locations), 01SJ (USA) and arte.mov (Brazil) showcasing the latest work by artists from across the world.

The Lost Cemetery Of Images.a Conversation With Carlos Casas

Pia Bolognesi
The use of archive material is a tendency which has established itself in the last few years as a common practice in audiovisual contaminations.

With Cemetery (Archive Works), inaugurated on 28 October and ongoing until 14 January at the Marslleria in Milan, Carlos Casas steps onto this path at its edges, balancing between visual anthropology and rethinking images as a form of trans-cultural memory....

Urban Images Symposium

Redazione Digicult

Celluloid. Cameraless Film

Redazione Digicult
In its exhibition "Celluloid. Cameraless Film" the Schirn focuses on a particular art film genre in which footage is produced by creating images directly on film stock. As opposed to other forms of experimental film, the material is removed from its conventional context of use and, as it were, interpreted as a canvas by applying diverse artistic processes: painting, drawing, collage on celluloid, scrapes and scratches in the emulsion, defamiliarization through chemical manipulations, or the direct exposure of the photosensitive material....
