I’ll be surprised if I see a better exhibition this year. Though not all the work in this show is Web-based – some works are purely video, others are photographic stills – the pieces share technological aesthetics that together represent a new school of contemporary filmmakers and artists whose art parallels the age of Romanticism. Similarly defined by a reaction to the trumpeting of reason — often by simply working against the objective and disinterested biases of technology — Meme: Romanticism not only stresses emotion as the source of aesthetic experience, but defines this experience as paradoxically continuous, contagious and fleeting. – Meme of The Crop (excerpt), Paddy Johnson Art Fag City for The Reeler, March 12, 2007.

March 20 | 7PM
SHIFTING THE FULCRUM:
Indie flick or art flick? If the Hollywood machine is out of the equation and they both follow the short film format, then what is the distinction?

March 21 | 7PM
TANGENTIAL DOCUMENTARIES:
They slide, they veer, and they are more than a mocumentary. This twist on the documentary will give you the how and what but will leave you pondering the why. Videos by Erik Bünger [SWE], Miriam Bäckström [SWE], Johan Grimonprez [BEL], Henrik Lund Jørgensen [SWE/DK], Jenny Perlin [USA], Khaled Ramadan [DK], Jeffrey Vallance [USA].
March 22 | 7PM
POP GOES THE VIDEO:
Rehashing, remixing, redefining…an anti-commodification of pop-culture. Desaturate and become more than just a boob in front of the tube. Videos by Johanna Billing [SWE], Tellervo Kalleinen and Oliver Kochta Kalleinen [FIN], Liisa Lounila [FIN], Rä di Martino [ITA], Tova Mozard [SWE], Adrian Piper [USA], Eddo Stern [ISR], Stina Wirfelt [SWE].
