Video as Urban Condition



[with thanks to Anne Bray and Freewaves for identifying this interesting opportunity for time-based media artists]

Video as Urban Condition: how video shapes urban experience

The Video as Urban Condition "Video-pool" archive is a mobile collection ofmoving images reflecting the mutability of video as it shifts between factand fiction, entertainment and persuasion, urban fantasy and reality-TV, art and activism, surveillance and control.

The archive will be open to the public at Lentos Museum of Modern Art (in Linz, Austria), 19 April-27 May 2007. The Video-pool installation will form the environment and a constellation of points of reference for a series of events on the themes "Public Space and Personal Media-politics", "Model Cities, Wish Images and Playgrounds", "Voyeurism, (Self-)Control and TV".

Add your point of view!

We welcome your video contributions and compilations. Videos received before 19 April will take part in the Video-pool $1000 Prize Draw!
