Guli Silberstein, Excerpt
Saturday April 25
6:30pm-8:00pm
Studies, 1 through 12
These 12 jury-selected shorts position video art as a practice of study—that is, a state of focused contemplation, an act of rigorous investigation, and a body of evidence. Robert Hamilton employs time-lapse methods to astutely observe an isolated test group at the Winona Peach Festival. Guli Silberstein examines the phenomena of live streaming online news by deconstructing the anxiety of a war torn family into pixels. Leigh Fisher creates a space within her car for the dutiful pursuit of communing with seagulls in her narrative fragment about haptic visuality and presence in Vancouver. Studies, 1 through 12 highlights the centrality of conceptual frameworks, and methodologies in contemporary media art.
