TIME TYPE NAME TITLE LANGUAGE
21h00 - 22h10 Video Screening 2 Transmediale (International Media Art Festival Berlin) – Germany    

The award competition of “Transmediale” in its 18th year. This continuity of selecting and presenting video art has fostered the popularity of the festival, and the quality of the participating works from all over the world. For the “Transmediale.05” competition, again more than 900 works were submitted.

The selection consists of eight video works that participated in the 2005 edition and give an insight into current artistic video production.

For the video selection program of “Transmediale.05”, we deliberately chose works that differ strongly in the way they were produced.

Videos selection
 

Chris Oakley , « The Catalogue », 2004 (United Kingdom), 5’
Oakley's vidéo work deals with the retail environment. It places the viewer into the position of a remote and dispassionate agency, observing humanity as a series of units whose value is defined by their spending capacity and future needs.

 

Mylicon, « Chrom »,  2004 (Italy), 4’23’’
An imaginary raid into an operating-theatre : an anaesthetized video/body, a temporary loss of consciousness, a state in which everything flows and the boundaries between body and space become blurred.

 

Corinna Schnitt, “Living A Beautiful Life”, 2003 (Germany), 13’
From their stylish Los Angeles villa, an attractive married couple pontificates on how ideal their lifestyle is. At first it appears as though the interview is for real, however as time passes, the pair seems more and more like actors.

NomIg., « pdx_01 », 2004 (Canada), 7’32’’
The audiovisual composition explores the strength within an 'ebb and flow' relationship between audio and video, the relationship between video and the 'space' in which it is presented, and the juxtaposition of abstract and concrete imagery as a theoretical tool.

 

Lina Selander, « Reconstruction » , 2004, 6’30’’
A video and sound composition created from old photos with scenes from a typical family album. The motif remains hidden ; the viewer only sees the back of the photos. What are visible however are holes, threads and notes on the prints which connect people and visual elements on an abstract plane.

Juan Romero, “A Pragmatic Of Links”, 2004 (Spain), 10’30’’
'A Pragmatic of Links' is an attempt to stage a parasitological vision based on image processing, whilst focusing on interference and broken imagery as a central dramaturgical element.

 

Le Collectif Magique, « BIC BAC JOB »,  2004 (France), 13’
'The ghost of the ghost of my youth' as the four French artists alternatively call their video work, oscillates between Lyçeé Raymond Naves and a derelict factory. The non-linear and highly subjective narration revolves around Nicolas Santenas Santos, lead guitarist of 'Hypnolove'.

 

Johann Lurf, (ohne titel), 2003, 3’
Bit by bit the screen fills up : 12 clips are put into context with each other through split screens. Voices, languages and sound begin to overlay, different genres, in colour and black and white, compete for the viewer’s attention.

Total running time: 63 min.
