v i d e o s o u n d a r c h i v e season 5

Description Rather than a standard festival or exhibition, we are calling for video and sound artworks (up to 10 minutes). To encourage a literal pause in life and ‘mindful use of this easily accessible medium’ by underscoring critical thought and creation. Leaning away from social media and insta- “content creation” (vanity metrics) we hope to allow a straightforward space without the unnecessary pressure of views/likes.

Viewers will see a series of “curated pauses,” -stills- that will live in each season’s archive. Each Artist will be highlighted and the still image will link to the corresponding Artist’s work. This is to encourage visibility in the Artist’s own environment. Rather than an Artist statement or bio, we will be conducting a series of micro interviews for each Artist who wishes to participate. This is to give a more in-depth and critical lens into their work and themes.
