On occasion of
West Coast Numusic & Electronic Art Festival in Stavanger/Norway,
[R][R][F] 2004 --->XP
and VideoChannel include some new additions
.
a)

video works from Spain:
-->a new work by Antonia Valero and Laura Amigo, entitled "11M"
a video which is reflecting the terror attack on 11 March in Madrid
www.newmediafest.org/rrf2004/vchannel.htm <http://www.newmediafest.org/rrf2004/vchannel.htm>
.
-->a video lecture by Antonio Alvarado in Spanish with English subtitles
explaning his curatorial concept and some details about the artists and
their included works.
<http://www.newmediafest.org/rrf2004/lecture.htm>
.
b) a new video by an individual artist added to VideoChannel
---> artist (s): Fish.tank
fish.tank is a concept group founded by giovanni antignano[ITA 1971] and
fernanda veron[ARG 1978]. they have been created visual art and set for
theatre, made web.art and web.act, video and interactive installation,
photo and digital art.
-->work title: MEAT MUM...MEAT
video content: A sloughter-House. The decadence of the captured organism.
In internet we'll provide a continuously alive simulacra of the video
embodiment.
music : Lorenzo Brusci
-->Short work description
an analytic eye on the video piece:
A communication system which runs and overrules reality reducing its natural
informational complexity and variety and its natural vocation to the
inter-individual information exchange.
In particular we expose the redundant mechanism of the violent communication
or the communication of violence, mechanism that constantly attack-reduce a
free will; it has been stratified and connected to the symbol of an identity
abattoir where the mass-organism becomes pure meat, food, for the entire
system of mass vision. With this artwork we put ourselves in the same
spectator's visual perspective, an uneasiness that implies a critical
perspective; we designed a body contortion, in an absolute and constant
sacrifice. We are this body contortion, we watch it, but we overcome its
condition in order to de-touch ourselves from its passiveness (given data)
and start a critical, alternative and dynamic counter-thought.
This video artwork is in itself the representation of a contemporary mass
media embodiment.

c)
A suite of 10 video works from an ongoing series
entitled "Some minutes of a time" by Agricola de Cologne
curated for VideoChannel by
Melody Parker Carter.
.
"Agricola de Cologne let the viewer share some minutes of his time,
participate in his personal observations and taking voyeuristic views on
situations.
The artist is active and passive at the same time,
he sets himself actively into a social context, but he is taking an
observing or even hidden position.
These observed situations happen mostly by chance. Many shots are made when
he is travelling.
The artist is always ready to shoot and take part in processes of any kind.
The situations are mostly non-spectacular every-day-life-scenes, but can
have also a special character as these shootings are mostly not planned.
The artist is interested in following a process from a certain more or less
dynamic position and point of view.
His videos are often filmed in one single shot, and by filming these minutes
of time as processes, he is documenting time.
The result, however, is expressively no kind of objective documentation.
By adding his personal comments, reflections and interpretations, these
documentations become very personal,
and follow the artist's specific ways of representing, the allegorical
principle.
Each of these small video works, which may have a running time between 1 and
5 minutes,
become metaphors of human life."
