We offer a twice-yearly video art program - a semiennial - of the
high water marks, the standouts, the stuff that made an impression.
The immersive video equivalent of "come hang out a my place
and listen to some records."
This weekend's screenings mark the return of this semi-annual
tradition after a 16 month hiatus.
The curatorial criteria is no more complicated than this is the
best new stuff we've seen. We've continue to be turned on to great
work and we're just itching to pass it along. But we can offer
up a few rough rules for what appeals to us:
video that loves its content more than its technology
video that doesn't mistake a technique for an idea
video that is in conversation with contemporary art as a whole
video that doesn't take itself too seriously
video that sells itself
video that rocks la casa
