Da diversi anni a Roma, Il festival VIDEOCITTÀ, ideato da Francesco Rutelli e diretto da Francesco Dobrovich,  si pone come osservatorio audiovisivo, includendo anche nomi della musica elettronica, talk sui new media e installazioni immersive. Ponendosi tra cultura e intrattenimento da qualche anno questo grande evento è ospitato nel suggestivo spazio di archeologia industriale del Gazometro di Roma.

Ora, chiusa a settembre l’edizione 2024 che ha presentato il lavoro di oltre 500 artisti, Videocittà ha proseguito il 14 dicembre con l’assegnazione del Videocittà Awards, al Palazzo dei Congressi di Roma, con la conduzione del giornalista e critico d’arte Nicolas Ballario e della content creator Momoka Banana.

Federica Di Pietrantonio (categoria: video arte), l’artista multimediale e fisico Riccardo Giovinetto (categoria: AV Performance),la content creator Margherita Paiano (categoria: Creator), gli studi new media Onda Studio (categoria: Immersive Experience), e Machine Zero (categoria:Next). Margherita Landi ha ottenuto la menzione speciale.

In una sala gremita, la cerimonia è stata accompagnata dalla performance live audiovisiva “SHIRO” dei Nonotak, duo fondato nel 2011 dall’artista visiva Noemi Schipfer e dall’artista del suono e della luce Takami Nakamoto, gioco di sovrapposizioni di ombre, luci e musica techno attraverso quattro schermi semi-trasparenti e i corpi degli artisti.

All’interno del foyer dell’arte è stato possibile fare esperienza di ODE corporis, la prima esperienza in VR del Teatro dell’Opera di Roma, ideata e curata da Anna Lea Antolini con Giuliano Danieli per la regia di Guido Geminiani. Prodotto dal Teatro dell’ Opera di Roma in collaborazione con Videocittà, si tratta di un viaggio attraverso il corpo, negli spazi noti e meno noti, accessibili e inaccessibili del Teatro Costanzi e del suo laboratorio scenografico, i Cerchi. La serata si è conclusa con il DJ set di Efee

I videocittà Awards sono organizzati da Videocittà, il festival ideato da Francesco Rutelli con la direzione creativa di Francesco Dobrovich, in coproduzione con EUR SpA nell’ambito della rassegna EURCULTURE 2024/25, e grazie allo sponsor partner Ploom.

Con installazioni, performance audio-video live, musica elettronica, video mapping, workshop, residenze artistiche e simposi, Fotonica si divide tra l’Accademia d’Ungheria a Roma e il quartiere Alessandrino in una location avveniristica di ultima generazione: il Chromosphere Dome, un’enorme cupola, solitamente utilizzata in campo astronomico e in particolare nei planetari, che avvolge il pubblico con suoni e immagini da ogni direzione, garantendogli una reale quanto rara esperienza immersiva a 360 gradi.

Fiore all’occhiello di FOTONICA i live audio video di otto artisti di fama internazionale aprono e chiudono il Festival: Lydia Yakonowsky (Canada), VJ Spetto (Brasile), Ployz (Germania) Monocolor (Austria), Damiano Simoncini | Levi & Cristina Angeloro (Italia) Kati Katona (Ungheria), Milian Mori (Svizzera), Touchy Toy Collective (Italia) Konx-om-Pax (Uk).

Dal 13 al 21 dicembre, tutti i giorni dalle 11 alle 17, nel Chromosphere Dome si susseguiranno le opere video dedicate a bambini e bambine. Dalle 17 in poi, l’esterno della cupola ospita i video mapping di artisti come DeRe dal Michigan e i lavori finali delle residenze artistiche e dei workshop per adulti e bambini a cura di Naba, FLxER e Fusolab, mentre all’interno della cupola, parallelamente, saranno proiettate le opere video di artisti internazionali: dal Giappone Yuri Urano e Manami Sakamoto, dalla Cina Te-Hsing Lu e Calvin Sin, dalla Polonia Ari Dykier, dalla Germania Sergey Prokofyev, dalla Grecia e dal Regno Unito Uncharted limbo Collective, e infine dalla Francia Milkorova, Sandrine Deumier, François Vautier, Flore e Sébastien Labrunie.

Fotonica ha inaugurato venerdì 13 dicembre all’Accademia d’Ungheria in Roma con Modulator V3, installazione del celebre artista ungherese Dávid Ariel Szauder, ispirata all’iconico “Light Prop for an Electric Stage” (1930) della figura di spicco della Bauhaus László Moholy-Nagy.

L’opera concepita da László Moholy-Nagy e progettata dall’architetto István Sebők era originariamente intesa come un “dispositivo sperimentale per la pittura della luce”. Attingendo al prototipo originale Szauder ha creato una performance interattiva arricchita da un’esperienza uditiva che risponde all’ambiente di luci e ombre creato dal movimento della scultura.

Il Festival ha proseguito, e prosegue ancora, tra Accademia di Ungheria e il Chromosphere Dome fino al 21 dicembre, 2024 con eventi di live performance, incontri e workshop. Consultate qui il sito per il calendario aggiornato degli eventi e per i biglietti.

Fotonica Festival, Accademia di Ungheria e Chromosphere Dome (quartiere Alessandrino), Roma, 13.12 – 21.12.2024

Il progetto, promosso da Roma Capitale – Assessorato alla Cultura, è vincitore dell’Avviso Pubblico biennale “Culture in Movimento 2024 – 2025”, realizzato in collaborazione con SIAE e con il sostegno della Comunità Europea – Creative Europe. FOTONICA è prodotto da Flyer srl, che nel 2004 ha dato vita a LPM Live Performers Meeting, il più grande evento del settore, giunto alla sua venticinquesima edizione. Il Festival fa parte del network AVnode, una rete internazionale con oltre 60 membri che promuovono più di 200 progetti tra festival, meeting e workshop.

hungry eyes festival
a festival at the intersection of film, performance and installation art
October 24th – November 2nd, 2025, Gießen, Germany

the festival
For its seventh edition, hungry eyes festival is once again looking for artistic works that question film in
an interdisciplinary way. A program consisting of short film series and installation works will explore
what constitutes the medium film and how cinematographic elements and working methods can be
translated into other media.
Together, we want to examine the extent to which film can provide political or social impulses, how
films or projections can intervene in real existing spaces, which assumptions about (filmic) aesthetics
can be turned upside down or what the relationship is between a repeatable two-dimensional film and
an installation work with no time limit. From a ballet of overhead projectors, to an exhibition with
flipbooks, to a silent film screening with VR-glasses, everything is possible.

the location
In the upcoming edition, the festival will take place decentrally at various locations and institutions in
Giessen. We are working together with Kinocenter – the local arthouse cinema – and Trafo e.V. art
studio. Another exhibition venue will be a glazed room in the town hall with a window front facing the
centrally located Berliner Platz.
hungry eyes ist looking for your short films and installation works!
Apply until December 31st!

short film
We are looking for short films regardless of the year and country of production. We particularly
welcome submissions that reflect on the medium of film, deal with it in an experimental way, defy
formal categorization and/or see themselves as cinematic experiments. Commissioned works,
commercials and trailers are excluded.
Duration: maximum 20 minutes
Language: We welcome submissions in their original language. If this is not German or English, we ask
you to send a film file with subtitles (in German or English).
Playback formats: For the screening at the festival we can use physical media or download links.
Unfortunately, we cannot play analogue formats, but they can of course be submitted in digital form.
The short film program will be presented at Kinocenter Gießen.

installation
We are looking for installations that relate to film, image media, image spaces or projections in terms
of content and/or form and can be realized in one of the following two spaces:
Trafo: Trafo is a studio community and an exhibition space with a charming ambience. The exhibition
space located in the front area is visible from the street via a wide window front; it is approximately
1
5-6m wide and 2.5-3m deep, and the ceiling height is approx. 4m. At the rear of the showroom is a
1.5m wide staircase, which must remain unobstructed for safety reasons. Link to pictures: pictures trafo
e.V.
Pausenraum (Giessen Town Hall): This room is located on the ground floor and is part of the wide glass
façade of the town hall on Berliner Platz, centrally located in downtown Giessen. The room will not be
accessible all the time, which is why works that can be seen through the shop window from the square
are suitable here. The dimensions of the room are approximately: 11m x 4.5m. Height approx. 3 m. Link
to pictures: pictures Pausenraum
The provisional exhibition dates are currently 23.10-2.11 and include one day for assembly and one day
for disassembly. These dates are subject to change and will be confirmed soon.

Athens Digital Arts Festival 2025

The most pioneering and longstanding International Digital Arts Festival in Greece, Athens Digital Arts Festival (ADAF), proudly announces its 21st edition and invites visionary artists, thinkers, technologists, and innovators to join us in shaping the future of digital art. Mark your calendars for 2025, as ADAF returns with a powerful new theme: Simulacra. We are calling for cutting-edge proposals to be submitted by December 15th, 2024, at 2025.adaf.gr.

Simulacra explores the compelling intersection of reality and hyperreality in the digital age. As technology like AI and ChatGPT redefines our world, ADAF 2025 challenges creators to reimagine how we engage with and interpret this dynamic, and often surreal, reality.

How do we navigate a world where the lines between the authentic and the artificial, blur?
How do digital constructs shape our collective consciousness, social identities, and future landscapes?

ADAF Simulacra will be a transformative exploration of these questions, celebrating the power of digital art to re-envision the boundaries of reality. From the immersive to the uncanny, we invite creators to delve into the realms of hyperreality, virtual worlds, and synthetic experiences.

Are you ready to question the essence of originality, challenge perceptions of authenticity, and explore the symbiosis between technology and ecology in shaping a sustainable future?

This is your chance to be part of a bold and immersive artistic dialogue that spans 12 categories:

Video Art, Animation, Installations, Performances, Music, AR/VR/XR, Workshops, Talks, Web Art, Digital Image, Games, and ADAF Kids.
Let’s explore how art can reflect not only the world we live in but also envision the worlds we have the power to create
Join us in this milestone event as we dive deep into the Simulacra, where art and technology converge to reshape our present and reimagine the future.

Submit your proposals now and be a part of the 21st ADAF experience!
https://2025.adaf.gr/submission-entries/

All applications will be considered for inclusion in the 21st edition, both physical and online, which will take place in Spring and Fall 2025, respectively. Shortlisted artists will be notified regarding the status of their application and details about the possible presentation of their work in either or both festival versions.

This event is organized as part of the initiative “20th and 21st International Festival of Digital Arts of Greece – Athens Digital Arts Festival,” which has been included in the Operational Program “Attica” under the NSRF 2021-2027 and co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund and national resources.

Laterale Film Festival 2025
Cosenza Italy – August 2025

Laterale is an international non-competitive festival of cinematic art organized by the Associazione Culturale Laterale. Its aim is to highlight the most innovative aspects of contemporary audiovisual languages and to bridge the gap between artistic research and public engagement. Particular attention is given to young and independent filmmakers, as well as to self-made, no-budget works that result from individual exploration.

The ninth edition of Laterale will take place in Cosenza (Italy), at cinema San Nicola, in August 2025. The festival promotes a free and stimulating platform for sharing, showcasing what is usually neglected or rejected due to its departure from conventional approaches to making and interpreting cinema. It is a space that breaks down barriers and prejudices, resisting massification and standardization; a space that aims to become an artistic laboratory where the cinema of the future can be discovered today.

Rules

1) Films of all genres, styles, and narrative forms released on or after January 1st, 2023, are eligible.
2) Films must have a maximum length of 20 minutes, including credits.
3) Films may only be submitted via Filmfreeway.
4) Seven deadlines are provided.
5) The registration fee is non-refundable and is considered a voluntary contribution to Associazione Culturale Laterale for the event’s organization.
6) The film selection is curated by the festival’s artistic direction; notification of selection must remain confidential until the program is announced.
7) Once selected, films cannot be withdrawn from the festival.
8) Some frames from the selected films may be used for festival promotional purposes.
9) Selected films will be added to the Laterale Film Festival archive and will not be commercially exploited to protect the interests of the authors and producers. The organizers commit to using the films solely for cultural purposes.
10) Films submitted in previous editions and not selected will not be considered.
11) The festival’s direction reserves the right to include in the Lateral Selection films that slightly exceed the scheduled time limits but are considered significant for their artistic value.
12) Participation in the festival implies full acceptance of these regulations. The artistic direction has final judgment on any controversial cases.

VII International Bad Video Art Festival
December 18 & 19, 2024; Laboratorio Artistico Multidisciplinare Autogestito, Cosenza, Italy

The International Bad Video Art Festival (BVAF) is an independent, artist-run initiative. The Festival has been held since 2017. Video artists and B-movie fans Natalia Monakhova and Andrey Slaschilin once decided to explore whether something like bad video art exists. It is well known that B-movies have long since formed a unique cultural niche with their own heroes and fans. In other art sectors, however, the concept of “bad” has not been explored as actively.

We are looking for videos that are at the intersection of bad art, bad painting, and bad cinema. We propose to study extreme forms of video art and single out certain works as bad videos or “B-videos”. Join us if you are interested in the issue of quality and boundaries in art.

This year, the BVAF team is collaborating with L.A.M.A. — Laboratorio Artistico Multidisciplinare Autogestito from Cosenza, Italy.

We are looking for works that meet any of the following criteria:

Technically poor (low resolution, over-/underexposed, unstabilized, wrong focus, poor sound or no sound at all, bad editing, wrong color correction);
Lacking content (irrelevant, empty, shot just for the sake of it, without any purpose, idea, or concept);
Consciously/unconsciously exploiting the aesthetics of camp, trash, or B-movies.

When submitting an application, please explain why you consider your video to be bad. There’s no need to send a concept if you have one.

Submission and participation are free (as a non-profit, artist-run initiative, we are unable to offer any screening fees). We do not accept animation, videos made by people under 18, family home videos, or porn. We accept for consideration not more than 3 videos per artist/collective. A video must not be shorter than 1 minute or longer than 10 minutes (if it’s longer but undeniably bad, send us an email explaining why we should accept your video). As this edition is being held in Italy, we kindly ask you to add Italian subtitles if your video contains dialogue in a language other than Italian, or send us an SRT file so we can assist with the translation.

NO entry fee – no

SIMULTAN FESTIVAL 2024
—Desire for the Useless

Dates & location of event context:
October 3-6, 2024, Timi?oara (Romania)

The 19th edition of SIMULTAN Festival will take place between 3-6 October in Timisoara, Romania – under the theme: Desire for the Useless.

In a world where simulations often replace reality, the line between useful and useless becomes blurred. Uselessness reveals the constructed nature of perceptions, prompting us to reconsider what we consider real or valuable. […]

The desire for the useless is not about pursuing uselessness. Rather, it’s about finding meaning in the seemingly impractical through creativity, critique, and insight. Think of desire as energy, not a void. When desire is free from the constraints of utility, it becomes a force that drives us towards new ideas and expressions, showing us that the useless has its own productivity.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
We are looking for submissions of innovative video works related to the festival theme —Desire For The Useless, produced in the last two years (2022-2024).
The call is open for both, emerging and established artists or groups and collectives.

NUMBER OF WORKS / DURATION
A maximum of 2 works by one author can be submitted, with a duration of up to 10 min (each). There is no submission fee.

APPLICATION
Upload a preview version of your video to Youtube (can be unlisted) or Vimeo (optional with password) and include the link in the application form.
The video must contain the title of the work, the author’s name and year of production.

AWARDS
We do not consider this call a competition, but we will reward 3 video works with a 500 Euro artist fee, taking into consideration their idea and technical execution.

JURY
All works will be reviewed and selected by the festival’s curatorial team. Those accepted will become part of the festival screening program. The jury’s decision is final.
Selected works will be published after the event in the festival archive (to be agreed in the application form).

VIDEO POST rilancia What Does AI Thinks About Me?, video saggio relativo all’installazione realizzata da mots per indagare comportamento e pregiudizi dell’intelligenza artificiale mentre osserva gli esseri umani. L’installazione è stata recentemente esposta al Sónar+D, piattaforma per la collaborazione, la sperimentazione e l’esplorazione delle ultime tendenze della cultura digitale, collegata al Sonar, uno dei festival più popolari che ogni anno si svolge a Barcellona coinvolgendo vari luoghi della città.

mots, What Does AI Thinks About Me?, video essay related to the installation ‘AI & Me’

 film di mots | Produzione: mots, Zauberberg Productions | Camera: Octavian Mot, Daniela Nedovescu, Imran Latif, Michal Cajzer | L’installazione AI & Me’ è stata presentata al  Sónar+D  nel giugno 2024

 

 

 

L'articolo VIDEO POST > What does A.I. think about me? proviene da Arshake.

CYFEST è una realtà artistica e culturale nomade, viva e in continua espansione, fondata da un gruppo di artisti indipendenti nel 2007. Trova le sue radici nella sperimentazione e nella ricerca artistica, articolata nello sviluppo delle relazioni fra diversi media. I linguaggi legati alle New Media Art ed alle Nuove Tecnologie vengono fusi, ampliati, connessi dando vita a dimensioni percettive nuove.

CYFEST 15 si è svolto a Yerevan, Armenia e Miami, USA; oggi accolto negli spazi del CREA – Cantieri del Contemporaneo di Venezia, fino al 30 agosto 2024.

Il tema intorno al quale si sviluppa il festival è la vulnerabilità, sviscerata nella sua dimensione più profonda, legata all’essere umano e a tutto ciò che lo circonda, abbattendo i confini di specie, tempo e materia. Tale condizione che abita il nostro pianeta viene sviluppata in una chiave emancipatoria, dove attraverso la declinazione in linguaggi artistici differenti e complementari, diventa testamento della nostra più autentica esperienza.

I moderni spazi del CREA ospitano un programma vasto, che si articola in vari formati, comprendendo installazioni, performance e talk. Tra le principali opere figura il progetto multidisciplinare Drop Tracer, che esplora le dinamiche degli agenti non umani e la relazione tra immagini e mondo naturale, realizzato da Tuula Närhinen. Le pelli generate dalla fermentazione da batteri danno vita ad un un’opera di Ann Marie Maes, la quale esplora il potenziale scultoreo dei materiali organici e le interfacce tra umano e non umano, così come tra il microscopico e il macroscopico. Il collettivo Where Dogs Run, pionieri nella sperimentazione e nella ricerca artistica legata alla New Media Art, analizza i concetti dei set di Mandelbrot mediante modelli di maglieria sviluppati in una performance dal vivo.

Mariateresa Sartori, con l’uso della tecnica del frottage, mette in evidenza una geologia sub-urbana, nascosta all’occhio, indagata nei suoi aspetti materici vivi, facendo luce sulla poco conosciuta storia della cava di Rosà, nel vicentino. L’installazione multimediale di Elena Gubanova e Ivan Govorkov analizza e sviluppa il concetto di «densità temporale» elaborato dall’astronomo sovietico Nikolai Kozyrev. La mostra presenta anche i rari monotipi «Re-Pressions» dell’acclamato artista armeno Samvel Baghdasaryan (1956-2017), opere sperimentali di videoarte di Fabrizio Plessi, sculture gonfiabili in tessuto di Irina Korina, e oggetti architettonici e urbanistici realizzati con LED riciclati di Alexandra Dementieva. Inoltre, una nuova installazione di Anna Frants e molte altre opere arricchiscono l’esposizione.
