Artists Meeting and Postmasters Gallery Present:
Triptych Party
in collaboration with You3b.com
"The art collective Artists Meeting presents an evening of video curiosities: found, outsider and accidental video art, culled from youtube, and spun into triptychs using You3b.com.
Video triptychs involve three simultaneous video loops projected side by side on the gallery wall. While formally simple, the effect of the looping sequences, overlapping sounds and awkward juxtapositions is uncanny and unsettling. This is due to the slippery dis-harmonization of clip lengths, and the conceptual layering of the elements within the videos.
For this 2nd youtube video show at Postmasters Gallery, the curators Thomas Hutchison, Maria Joao Salema and James Andrews have selected dozens of examples of original U3B triptychs created by members of Artists Meeting.
You3b is a tool that allows users to make triptychs out of YouTube videos. An Eyebeam project conceived by Jeff Crouse, produced by Jeff Crouse and Andrew Mahon and designed and coded by Andrew Mahon.
Complimentary drinks will be served.
NOTE: Some of the works presented in this show are graphic and potentially inappropriate for children, the squeamish, and the easily offended."
