This unleashes an enthusiastic chain reaction among the population! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1752649447087-YRDMNO103Y0U5L5DAYYF/Screenshot+2025-07-15+at+2.16.06%E2%80%AFAM.png Events - Screening Collective Misnomer Presents: “Making Taste 6” - Florentina Gonzalez "El After del Mundo" (Argentina + France) El After del Mundo is a film tempting to give something to think about other possible ways of being human, having fun imagining a humanity of the future, a life without rules, without a world and without a body. At just 28 years old, I feel like I am witnessing this moment even at this "after" of the world. And it is my friends who help me better understand and accept this chaotic journey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1750621764229-E7RSG9CLF3PR79W4M3C4/POSTICHE_2025_PaulinRogues+%2806333%29+-+Paulin+Rogues.png Events - Screening Collective Misnomer Presents: “Making Taste 6” - Paulin Rogues "Postiche" (France) A Space Buddy Comedy Movie in 3 Acts. Written by me in 2007. Realised by me in 2015. I wrote Postiche at seventeen, when stories didn’t need meaning, just momentum, rhythm, and strangeness. The piece came out sideways, and I left it that way. Eight years later, I filmed it almost unchanged. I didn’t want to improve it or explain it. I wanted to preserve the absurdity, the deadpan tone, and that naïve freedom where characters speak in loops, do things for unclear reasons, and seem trapped in rituals they half remember. The film lives between theatre and dream, school play and surreal chamber piece. Everything is slightly off: the pacing, the logic, the mood. I leaned into discomfort, stillness, and the humour of malfunction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1750621767422-01GNK6TXBCQ3E8Q0WGWG/Hotel+Kalura+still+1.jpg Events - Screening Collective Misnomer Presents: “Making Taste 6” - Sophie koko gate "Hotel Kalura" (UK) A woman walks into a hotel bar on the romantic island of Sicily, waiting to be lit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1752648466618-UUHNZ4YKV7XDGLZIGHFC/ExCreta_thumbnail1+-+Jon+Portman.png Events - Screening Collective Misnomer Presents: “Making Taste 6” - Jon Portman "Ex Creta" (USA) My goals with this film were simple: to create the greatest, most unnecessary poop joke of all time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1752648441751-C6HM1IJ1B46HUD68V2PW/Still_1_CHO_Y_THE_Law_of_the_jungle_gym+leader_08529+%281%29+-+Yoonhei+Cho.jpg Events - Screening Collective Misnomer Presents: “Making Taste 6” - Yoon-Hei Cho "The Law of the Jungle Gym" (USA) A Magical incident, in a children's lunch time, escalates into a dog-eat-dog survival game among the innocents. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1752648434851-RAQESKIAHN6G1935Y0ZD/cs_hVFBw+-+David+Lewandowski.jpeg Events - Screening Collective Misnomer Presents: “Making Taste 6” - David Lewandowski "time for sushi" (USA) “time for sushi“ is the latest in a series of short films inspired by an obsessive passion for nonsense.

Butler and Taylor, exploring what it means to be watched, desired, and distorted in white spaces while Black. Drawing on our personal experiences of growing up under the double pressure of visibility and erasure, the project transforms the gallery into a sanctified surveillance zone—an altar of tension, resistance, and reclamation. The work is driven by the haunting question: What does it mean to be constantly consumed by the eye, but never fully seen? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1749940649412-4LWSEAUWZQ8NWELU306Y/IMG_3444+-+Ethan+Barrett.jpeg Events - Opening of “Under Pressure” at Friend of a Friend - Ethan Barrett "Support" (USA) A series of videos set to music exploring detachment, isolation, and surveillance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1750028466809-GW7HTRZOKHUIZ5SPNJ6X/McMaster_Existence_of_Form_Photo+-+R.+Eric+McMaster.jpg Events - Opening of “Under Pressure” at Friend of a Friend - R. Eric McMaster "The Obstruction of Action by the Existence of Form" (USA) The Obstruction of Action by the Existence of Form documents a game played between two full hockey teams in a custom fabricated rink measuring 18 feet by 12 feet. The condensed space forces the participants to play shoulder to shoulder robbing the game of the grace, speed, and power typically found in hockey. The result reframes the familiar, allowing overlooked moments to shine and invoke a sense of awe and/or humor.

A looping video set inside a visceral cast glass frame, the work is both an object and a moving painting that contemplates interiority and materiality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1750151707533-KJP2WZYBHHUWPHQ80U6Q/GloopyVibes-PromoImage+-+Ryan+Wurst.png Events - Opening of “Under Pressure” at Friend of a Friend - Ryan Wurst "Gloopy Vibes" (USA) What's your vibe?

Most of my work has tried to reflect on High Capitalism’s effect on our daily lives. One of the main focuses of my work is the tension between “reality” as it is perceived via the senses, and that which we can recognize as physically or objectively real. The reality of the senses is often remote from that which actually lies around us, and may in fact lie closer to illusion. It has become a feature of modern life that peoples’ senses can no longer be relied on to distinguish between what is authentic and what is just a well-crafted fake. Amidst Japan’s complex array of signs, even the truly authentic has become suspect as an imposter. One might even say that daily life consists of a “reality” in which one never encounters anything authentically real. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1749876464734-HGRHHTGO8HUUH0DB49NE/Archive_012715-163_RD.jpg Events - Opening “Moving Still: Video Art Highlights from the Dikeou Collection” - Dan Asher "Creature" the ominous glacial calm
 the precipice between utter glee and infinite dispair
 the chill hoarfrost of familiarity and alienation 
an, at once, beckoning and repulsive bleakness 
as a paradigm for human, “sub”-human
and above all, humane existence
 an inherent otherworldliness,
that defies comprehension 
yet feels like a second on third skin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1749876465534-9535NQZE9BOKTMK6GJIF/DSC_0004RD.jpg Events - Opening “Moving Still: Video Art Highlights from the Dikeou Collection” - Serge One “Break” Like everybody, I made drawings before I knew about art, before I new how to write, before I knew how to speak. That is something that should always be kept in mind. I will limit myself within a certain subject, but that subject is not the theme. By this I mean, when I draw hands, I am not interested in sign-language or palm reading. The hand will have something else to do. I want to use drawing in more ways than just on paper. There’s nothing wrong with drawings on paper. By using loops for my animation videos, the repetitional aspect of the piece can replace the narrative aspect of moving images. I bring drawing, animation, film, video and wallpaper together around a central theme and put drawing in a wider perceptive by initiating all kinds of projects, such as my ongoing book project Drawings on… (aka Volume). Photography stopped everyday drawing. The computer stopped everyday writing. By using wallpaper and it’s repetitional aspect I can intensify the experience of a small drawing. The power of animation is that the unbelievable and impossible is normal. Someone falls from a building and just walks away. Violence in animation doesn’t hurt. Also, the speed a drawing can have—you get a different meaning when you get to see 15 drawings per second. I would rather do nothing, if I had the courage. I make art to get rid of it. In my opinion drawing is universal in the sense that everybody has made a drawing at one time, while not everybody has made a photograph, painting or film. Drawing is cheap. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1751099838031-OR42QFVQ6JRYY7BCBHP5/Final+Web+Info.jpg Events - Opening “Moving Still: Video Art Highlights from the Dikeou Collection” - Devon Dikeou “The News Too” The polarities of “The News”, cable especially . . . And yet with all their differences they look much the same, especially if you take out all the content. That’s what THE NEWS TOO is . . . Nine backgrounds of popular Cable TV News.

The duo improvises with the system via a handmade sculptural interface to unfold a series of compositions for video projection and four-channel sound. The result is a kind of live cinema in which visual and sonic shapes mutate through mutual interaction, guided by the players.

Z-fighting is an artifact that arises in 3D rendering engines when the rendering order of two coplanar surfaces interfere with one another in the z-buffer. This interference creates artifacts that manifest as flickering, moire or tearing of the color/texture assigned to the surface shader. Coplanar Nations is a body of work that employs the use of z-fighting to dramatize open armed conflicts between modern nations, states, peoples and governing bodies by mapping flags as textures onto coplanar surfaces in order to force-render a "compromised state", a resolution that is never fully resolved. While the fixed video work has been screened in the US and abroad, this is the first time the work has been revisited and developed for live performance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1749367253526-6QXURP8U8M0D7LBUKJ27/KyleEvans+-+Kyle+Evans.jpg Events - Multimedia Performance “Eclectic Systems” Closing night of .MOV! - Kyle Evans "bitwhisper.exe" (USA) bitwhisper.exe is a live audio-visual performance that blends abstraction and rhythm, navigating the fragile terrain between structure and collapse. Visuals flicker like corrupted memory, responding in real time to whispered frequencies and fractured beats. The performance examines AV alignment as a dynamic system that invites both immersion and disorientation. It is a meditation on digital instability, and the human instinct to find meaning in abstract sound and image.

What happens when we lose the horizon? Without it, our sense of orientation, time-scale, perspective, and rootedness to the Earth dissolves. Flatnesses is a film shot entirely from a God's-eye view, —an unbroken aerial perspective flattening all depth and distance. Once impossible, now cheap and quotidian, our era of drones, surveillance, satellites, and digital mapping, flattens and abstracts. Now we float. In Flatnesses, homelands become maps, geographical features become data, one place is made to seem like another, algorithms dictate desire, and intimacy feels distant. Still, we look for one another. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1749891790313-87BCWTYBU4VCICEF6JIH/Stream7+-+debora+Bernagozzi.jpg Events - Screening+Performances ”Scene Report” .MOV Opening Night - Debora Bernagozzi "Stream (Iteration 7)" The source footage comes for Stream is of bare tree limbs lying in water, but the result of the processing is that new types of landscapes are created. Some contain sensuously flowing images suggestive of human forms, while others flicker with the intensity of a storm. The work visually alludes to how our experience of events is not rooted in just one moment, but in an overlapping tapestry of memories, thoughts, and anticipations. Through the intense processing, uneventful spaces in the journey disappear as moments, now abstracted, happen again and again, synthesizing into something new. Colorado Premiere https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1749890711410-MDCCO5YXO2YC7SRXPKD8/TMOTCD1+-+Christopher+Coleman.jpg Events - Screening+Performances ”Scene Report” .MOV Opening Night - Chris Coleman "The Magnitude of the Continental Divides" The Magnitude of the Continental Divides is an animation exploring the ways we define ourselves and our nations. It is a journey between many locations in various states of withdrawal and aggression. Borders become weaponized and damage is always dealt from afar. The individual is caught in the midst, unable to separate themselves, unable to define identity without place. The Magnitude of the Continental Divides is a six minute high definition animation created over two and a half years that combines vector drawings derived from safety brochures with illustrations from scout manuals, science books, and boy's adventure stories, all from the 1930-1960's. Sound design was provided by David Fodel.

Through ToU, Hong collaborates with quotidian technologies of surveillance (e.g., smartphones, personal computers) in a dis/embodied investigation of AI, hyper-surveillance, queerness, and the social contracts agreed to both knowingly and unbeknownst to the general public. ToU employs absurdism as a coping mechanism for the social worlds the artist navigates, while proposing newer means of being in the world that destabilize dominant ideologies in technology, identity, and the body. The section STEALTH LESBIAN includes Hong’s reimagining as a former contestant on MNET K-Pop survival show, Produce 48, utilizing the everlasting space of the digital to envision self-determined modes of visibility. Through digital performance, Hong crafts a whimsical portrayal of how the intersection of experimental film and dance studies might serve as a site for imagining new genders and worlds that stand in deep opposition to the legacy of Europeanist, heterocentrism employed through dance as a field of study. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1749890707746-J25840ZN2DM3PIBOW6NC/TLS_still01+-+Kelly+Sears.jpg Events - Screening+Performances ”Scene Report” .MOV Opening Night - Kelly Sears "The Lost Season" Earth is experiencing its final winter.

The Boundary that never Was attempts to understand how we cognitively replay what we believe our senses can capture and explore how experiences change us. The sound is recorded using an electromagnetic frequency microphone shaped as a granular remix of the sounds of electrons happening.

Rather than treating elements as fixed, it engages them as unstable signals - subject to translation, interruption, and decay. The work is less concerned with what is seen than with the structures that shape seeing - systems that exclude, distort, indoctrinate, or commodify. Within these frameworks, remnants of visual and cultural authority flicker, momentarily visible in the mechanisms designed to manage perception. Inheriting frequencies compressed through layers of geopolitical force, conflict, conquest, and control reveals the weight of histories embedded in perception itself. If there is memory here, it is neither linear nor whole; it loops through repetition and rupture, eroding even as it unfolds. The work seeks to stay with the ambiguity, to listen for the manifestations that dominant histories cannot contain or silence.

My krew of friends and I wanted to make a skate video but weren’t good at skateboarding so it mostly shifted into antics, pranks, and stunts. These were the parts of the skate videos I always gravitated to the most. This ended up becoming more of a document of a certain point and time in our lives. We were always shooting for “the video” but were seemingly more interested in making stuff happen instead of sitting down and editing the footage together. We would organize entire day-long events for ourselves to shoot, like finding water skis and pulling each other down a dirt road, road trips to Las Vegas, scoping spots to do car launches and donuts, throwing parties with the explicit goal of shooting footage, or building different potato guns to shoot at tube televisions and toilets found in the desert and eventually turning those into flame throwers. We also documented simple day-to-day interactions of a young subcultural person, mosh pits and fights at the local punk youth venue "Skrappys," interactions with adults and cops that hate skateboarders, late-night graffiti runs, and just shooting the shit, making each other laugh. Over the years, I’ve revisited and compiled this footage, recognizing its foundational role in my journey as an artist. I’m still friends with everyone from this krew. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/8bdc0750-d3b0-4a60-bfb1-00109cb088bb/scene_report_all_images.jpg Events - Screening+Performances ”Scene Report” .MOV Opening Night - ”Scene Report” .MOV Opening Night Saturday, July 5, 2025 Come for happy hour starting at 7:30pm at the SIE Film Center Lounge.

I lived for many years in New York, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art was always a refuge - a public space for private moments. The experience of looking at art is as much about our personal stories, our desires, and our humor as it is about the objects themselves.

Filled with the artist’s own AI-generated artworks, what begins as a familiar cultural experience quickly escalates into a fight for survival – all the non-player characters have turned into zombies. Players must navigate through the fair and eliminate infected fair attendees, battling for victory in a place once of creative expression and appreciation, now turned into a labyrinth for survival. As the living dead charge at you wearing business casual outfits, the immersive storytelling of the game becomes as thought-provoking as it is thrilling. Synthesizing the imagined tranquility of an art fair with the chaotic absurdity of a zombie outbreak, the artwork posits a humorous hyperbole of certain invisible dynamics. Complete with rankings of both the best and worst players as well as droll reenactments of common art-fair-incited behaviors, the game magnifies and examines the aspects of competition, hierarchy, trauma, and strategy that are interwoven into the starry-eyed illusion of art. Art Survivors, however, is not just a tongue-in-cheek comment on art’s Darwinist, dog-eat-dog world. It is, more importantly, a reminder of the ultimate objective: To stay alive without becoming one of the infected – and with the right adjustment to mindset, maybe even have fun. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1749344340323-B8K7PUXILYPM74X6UO36/fePCMZ+-+Karina+Popp.png Events - Opening “Free Hors d’Oeuvres" Video Game Exhibition - Karina Popp "Shit Art" (USA) You, an inimitable artist, have been commissioned by a wealthy patron to create art.

The geologic phenomenon of alluvium occurs when loose clay, silt, or sand has been deposited by running water in a stream bed or floodplain for an impermanent period of time, making unique radial shapes. Inspired by this phenomenon, Kaiser & Stickel's responsive compositions develop cumulatively, collecting and compiling sound and imagery that reflect tenuous, shifting states. Alluvium is a recent intersection of both members' established practices based in the Sonoran desert. Alluvium has performed throughout the Southwest and their work was most recently exhibited at MOCA Tucson and The American Institute of Thoughts and Feelings, in Tucson, AZ.

In 2023, the US Surgeon General declared an epidemic of loneliness. Simultaneously, we find ourselves diving deeper and deeper into echo chambers of conspiracy theory, misinformation, and fear-mongering. Every click on a hyperlink and second lapsed on an ad feeds cyberspace algorithms that work by design to keep us hypnotized by our screens. Talking heads and influencers are successful by providing the illusion of intimacy that is otherwise deeply lacking in the flesh. Would conspiracy theories and misinformation spread the same way if we weren’t so significantly lonely? What makes otherwise rational and educated people fall into cesspools of dangerous rhetoric that make them act against their own self-interest - and who reaps the benefits? This short film takes inspiration from science fiction, body horror, and Saturday morning cartoons. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1749170155060-Y3HI82X1VQ2MECH9RB57/IMG_2002+-+Mitch+Pond.jpeg Events - Summer Camp For Video Artist’s Big Exhibition Show: It’s Projecting a Big Hot Video Mess” - Mitchell Pond "Daedelus - Sunflower Stems" (USA) The official music video for the Daedelus single Sunflower Stems from their 2020 LP What Wands Won’t Break.

Although majestic, the wide-angle shots have no monumentalising intent: the beauty and extent of the site speak for themselves. What is playing out here is the possibility for one man to become part of a landscape that overwhelms him yet seems to need his help. Seen under the silhouette of a rock about to devour him or as a dwarfed figure spade in hand walking from the back of the frame, Sultan curiously busies himself from day to day to prevent the ruins… from falling into ruin. Here the human remains have long since become archaeological artefacts: the highly luminous outside sequences alternate with shots inside a museum where the bones are sorted and laid out for the visitor’s eye. The switching between day and night but also the soundscape of the man’s singing and the sound of his transistor radio suggest that even the greatest solitude can allow itself be inhabited. Above all, it underlines the paradox of these empty tombs, where death is compounded by the absence of the relics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1749242224862-JHPWS5VW9HXIO7GBK71M/SoftSlough1+-+Eva+Harris.jpg Events - Opening “Mutual Terrain” - Nika Kaiser "Soft Slough" (USA) Wetlands embody potential in their perpetually undefined qualities. The alligator has survived 65 million years within these intermingled depths. Fugitive slaves fled from plantations in the American south and the Caribbean, founding egalitarian maroons in swamps and forests. Although dwindling, this commingling of land and water generates a shrouded space for the most complex biodiversity of all planetary ecosystems. Soft Slough is an offering of possibility, where we might become subsumed in murky depths of interconnectedness: envisioning ourselves outside of the realms of failing societal strictures, de-and-recomposing, becoming of a place where a myriad of different practices, relations, and worlds are suspended together.

Using Google Street view and Earth as a contemporary analog to colonial landscape painting as a technology of power, A Line is Not a Line unpacks how we visualize and understand borders and bordering in global economies and ecologies marked by migration, extraction, and exploitation. The work unpacks how this technology constructs landscapes through a process of cultural and bodily erasure, flattening a multiplicity of subjectivities under the totalizing subjectivity of the colonial gaze.

How do we today in the age of globalization, migration, violent displacement, instability, relate to specific locality, where do we belong, what is home for us? At the time of rise of nationalism, hate, fear, segregation when the borders are getting stronger and walls higher, where do we find safety? Is it physical or perhaps imaginary space? Presented in the form of a series of fictional letters sent from Nina Kurtela to Aki Kaurismäki read against a backdrop of atmospheric exterior shots, "Dear Aki" is an experimental visual-narrative essay on the nature of naming in the globalized world. Originating from an accidental anecdote about the artist's surname, the film develops through juxtaposing northern and southern imagery while questioning the possibilities of creating new fictional spaces in the realm of already existing landscapes.

The work combines aerial drone footage and photogrammetry with 3D animation to create a nature documentary that collapses into itself. The wilderness is scanned by large shapes that momentarily reduce the landscape into grayscale polygons —in these redactions we glimpse a near-future dystopia of computer-vision aided resource extraction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1749243587441-L32U00VVHOTLK8V5O44Y/Newfoundland_Sequence.00_11_57_04.Still002+-+Sarah+Foulkes.jpg Events - Opening “Mutual Terrain” - Ella Morton "The Great Kind Mystery" (Canada) I visited Newfoundland for the first time in 2012 and could immediately feel what a special place it was. It has since come to be one of the most artistically rich areas for my work. I was struck by how the land exists in a liminal space between the boreal forests of Southern Canada and bare Arctic tundra. The way the rocks heave out of the ocean and hold the weight of the sky is sublime and mournful. The power and complexity of the place is palpable when you’re there. I met Amy in 2019 and began work with her on this film when I was early in my journey as a documentary filmmaker. We recorded our first interview that year and I visited her childhood home of Daniel’s Harbour on the Northern Peninsula in 2021. Amy’s perspectives were enlightening- her words about the inherent kindness of nature, the land and the universe have resonated with me on all my travels since. The wisdom she shares in this film is remarkable for a young person. It is a privilege to bring her words and my images of our shared love of Newfoundland to international audiences.

Butler and Taylor, exploring what it means to be watched, desired, and distorted in white spaces while Black. Drawing on our personal experiences of growing up under the double pressure of visibility and erasure, the project transforms the gallery into a sanctified surveillance zone—an altar of tension, resistance, and reclamation. The work is driven by the haunting question: What does it mean to be constantly consumed by the eye, but never fully seen? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1749939966728-5ISBJEJ38BDRQYX3T3AP/IMG_3444+-+Ethan+Barrett.jpeg Exhibitions - “Under Pressure” - Ethan Barrett "Support" (USA) A series of videos set to music exploring detachment, isolation, and surveillance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1750151823991-MI93WY8T6XGLUO40K6RY/McMaster_Existence_of_Form_Photo+-+R.+Eric+McMaster.jpg Exhibitions - “Under Pressure” - R. Eric McMaster "The Obstruction of Action by the Existence of Form" (USA) The Obstruction of Action by the Existence of Form documents a game played between two full hockey teams in a custom fabricated rink measuring 18 feet by 12 feet. The condensed space forces the participants to play shoulder to shoulder robbing the game of the grace, speed, and power typically found in hockey. The result reframes the familiar, allowing overlooked moments to shine and invoke a sense of awe and/or humor.

It is about having a companion to guide you through each frame of a forgotten event. The animation is based on a memory of an imaginary garden where a woman sat and planted roses. The garden was massive and full of red petals and green leaves. It was a mirage of a faceless figure that I have held onto. Shrouded in light the garden replaces a dark and ominous period of loneliness and helplessness. The animation is black and white to represent how we perceive memories as whole truths, but they are only pieces of a story. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1749884091628-I5X6PSXOXKZ5E8UQY4FG/SummerVibes20XX+-+Justin+Ankenbauer.jpg Exhibitions - Video Art on downtown LED Screens - bearwarp "Summer Vibes 20XX" (USA) This work can be seen at 14th and Champa Summer Vibes 20XX is a tongue-in-cheek reflection of the chaos with climate change using glitched out weather stations graphics and news feeds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1750130805334-51ZUZ7GOMROOMJDNL4UE/SummerVibes20XX+-+Justin+Ankenbauer.jpg Exhibitions - Video Art on downtown LED Screens - bearwarp "Summer Vibes 20XX" (USA) This work can be seen at16th and Arapahoe on the Westin screen above skyline park Summer Vibes 20XX is a tongue-in-cheek reflection of the chaos with climate change using glitched out weather stations graphics and news feeds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/beb0db64-f3cc-40aa-92d0-0aee498f1de0/untitled+-+Cherish+Marquez.png Exhibitions - Video Art on downtown LED Screens - Video Art on downtown LED Screens hosted by Denver Theater District These works can be seen at LED signs all over downtown Denver from 7:00am to midnight everyday all of July.

Most of my work has tried to reflect on High Capitalism’s effect on our daily lives. One of the main focuses of my work is the tension between “reality” as it is perceived via the senses, and that which we can recognize as physically or objectively real. The reality of the senses is often remote from that which actually lies around us, and may in fact lie closer to illusion. It has become a feature of modern life that peoples’ senses can no longer be relied on to distinguish between what is authentic and what is just a well-crafted fake. Amidst Japan’s complex array of signs, even the truly authentic has become suspect as an imposter. One might even say that daily life consists of a “reality” in which one never encounters anything authentically real. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1749877512480-KC5O7RYC45IJNOALLIP7/Archive_012715-163_RD.jpg Exhibitions - Moving Still: Video Art Highlights from the Dikeou Collection - Dan Asher "Creature" the ominous glacial calm
 the precipice between utter glee and infinite dispair
 the chill hoarfrost of familiarity and alienation

that defies comprehension

Flickering, shimmying, “Dancing in the Moonlight”, all the vociferous drama is drained. What is not seen is now the star, undecipherable, ubiquitous, bland, the ultimate wallflowers . . . which one will you dance with. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1749877514672-1D25MCVD15548TRRVHW8/DSC_0004RD.jpg Exhibitions - Moving Still: Video Art Highlights from the Dikeou Collection - Serge One “Break” Like everybody, I made drawings before I knew about art, before I new how to write, before I knew how to speak. That is something that should always be kept in mind. I will limit myself within a certain subject, but that subject is not the theme. By this I mean, when I draw hands, I am not interested in sign-language or palm reading. The hand will have something else to do. I want to use drawing in more ways than just on paper. There’s nothing wrong with drawings on paper. By using loops for my animation videos, the repetitional aspect of the piece can replace the narrative aspect of moving images. I bring drawing, animation, film, video and wallpaper together around a central theme and put drawing in a wider perceptive by initiating all kinds of projects, such as my ongoing book project Drawings on… (aka Volume). Photography stopped everyday drawing. The computer stopped everyday writing. By using wallpaper and it’s repetitional aspect I can intensify the experience of a small drawing. The power of animation is that the unbelievable and impossible is normal. Someone falls from a building and just walks away. Violence in animation doesn’t hurt. Also, the speed a drawing can have—you get a different meaning when you get to see 15 drawings per second. I would rather do nothing, if I had the courage. I make art to get rid of it. In my opinion drawing is universal in the sense that everybody has made a drawing at one time, while not everybody has made a photograph, painting or film. Drawing is cheap. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1751068025067-697AOO8ZMKTP9YYX54HK/zapp1.jpg Exhibitions - Moving Still: Video Art Highlights from the Dikeou Collection - Zapp Magazine Issue #1 March 1994 1.

With this video projection, I wanted to focus on the power of transformation and movement. We are changeable, the world is changeable, and we can work together to shift and move things, to transform the world and ourselves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1749169018335-UZWUPK74OHDV67IZUJN3/Tom+Nelsen+Have+Look+Image.jpg Exhibitions - D&F Clock tower Projections - Tom Nelson "Have a Look" A different approach to the giant-monster-in-the-city genre, this piece introduces us to a more timid, wide-eyed creature that views the audience with curiosity instead of malice. In emerging from the vines he is letting both himself and the audience experience the wonderment of seeing and vulnerability of being seen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1749414929045-D32DLDWSZEXUKR8VVW1P/KOKOframeFORdenverFORM+-+KIWIFOGBOOM.png Exhibitions - D&F Clock tower Projections - KOKOFREAKBEAN "GYGAX" GYGAX is a tender, feel-good, bite-sized abstract romantic comedy revolving around the eternal love affair between ideas and abject obscurity...and amorphous, interdimensional, fleshy blobs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1749801200403-SLFRUL8WUQDFVHTSQ5JD/KyleEvans_DMoV_ClockTowerStill+-+Kyle+Evans.png Exhibitions - D&F Clock tower Projections - Kyle Evans "Machine Dreams of a Clocktower" (USA) This work explores how artificial intelligence interprets and abstracts familiar forms. It reflects on the strange, often unpredictable logic behind AI-generated decisions—how they can feel both chaotic and unexpectedly organic. The creation process of this work began with AI-generated abstract images of the Daniels & Fisher Tower. These images were then used to create further abstracted 3D models, also generated by AI. The models are then manipulated and reshaped, revealing how the machine perceives and reconstructs structure. Custom programming developed by the artist introduces a sense of time and movement to these forms, allowing their transformation to unfold gradually. This temporal layer exposes the multiple stages of interpretation embedded in the process. Influenced by glitch aesthetics, the work embraces digital errors and unintended outcomes as part of its visual language. The result is a dialogue between human memory and machine vision—between a historic landmark and its reimagining through artificial perception. https://www.denvermov.com/exhibitions/event-two-glxjd monthly 0.5 2025-06-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1749420687825-4DZT6A6J7301IR95A3UA/TheDigger_Ali_Cherri_2015-01+-+Ali+Cherri.jpg Exhibitions - Mutual Terrain - Ali Cherri "The Digger" (UAE/ Lebanon) For twenty years, Sultan Zeib Khan has kept watch over a ruined Neolithic necropolis in the Sharjah desert in the United Arab Emirates. Although majestic, the wide-angle shots have no monumentalising intent: the beauty and extent of the site speak for themselves. What is playing out here is the possibility for one man to become part of a landscape that overwhelms him yet seems to need his help. Seen under the silhouette of a rock about to devour him or as a dwarfed figure spade in hand walking from the back of the frame, Sultan curiously busies himself from day to day to prevent the ruins… from falling into ruin. Here the human remains have long since become archaeological artefacts: the highly luminous outside sequences alternate with shots inside a museum where the bones are sorted and laid out for the visitor’s eye. The switching between day and night but also the soundscape of the man’s singing and the sound of his transistor radio suggest that even the greatest solitude can allow itself be inhabited. Above all, it underlines the paradox of these empty tombs, where death is compounded by the absence of the relics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1749420824773-QCK85OPH09HL56TG8XB5/SoftSlough1+-+Eva+Harris.jpg Exhibitions - Mutual Terrain - Nika Kaiser "Soft Slough" (USA) Wetlands embody potential in their perpetually undefined qualities. The alligator has survived 65 million years within these intermingled depths. Fugitive slaves fled from plantations in the American south and the Caribbean, founding egalitarian maroons in swamps and forests. Although dwindling, this commingling of land and water generates a shrouded space for the most complex biodiversity of all planetary ecosystems. Soft Slough is an offering of possibility, where we might become subsumed in murky depths of interconnectedness: envisioning ourselves outside of the realms of failing societal strictures, de-and-recomposing, becoming of a place where a myriad of different practices, relations, and worlds are suspended together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1749420878075-UCBBK6FPAK3Q4CH703US/Screenshot+%28139%29+-+Felix+Kalmenson.png Exhibitions - Mutual Terrain - Felix Kalmenson "A Line is Not a Line" (Canada) A Line is Not a Line examines the practice of landscape visualization as a technology of colonialism and occupation. Using Google Street view and Earth as a contemporary analog to colonial landscape painting as a technology of power, A Line is Not a Line unpacks how we visualize and understand borders and bordering in global economies and ecologies marked by migration, extraction, and exploitation. The work unpacks how this technology constructs landscapes through a process of cultural and bodily erasure, flattening a multiplicity of subjectivities under the totalizing subjectivity of the colonial gaze. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1749420926574-QZTC71BOPGW7HLIGSUS5/NINA+KURTELA_DEAR+AKI+10+copy+-+nina+kurtela.jpg Exhibitions - Mutual Terrain - Nina Kurtela "Dear Aki" (Croatia) By looking into artistic and theoretical aspects of the concept of place (or space) and its political, social, economical and cultural implications “Dear Aki” explores notions of fluidity, difference and transformation in relation to topics of naming, identity, nationality, belonging, home, family, state, (im)migration, territory and landscape and its fictions. How do we today in the age of globalization, migration, violent displacement, instability, relate to specific locality, where do we belong, what is home for us? At the time of rise of nationalism, hate, fear, segregation when the borders are getting stronger and walls higher, where do we find safety? Is it physical or perhaps imaginary space? Presented in the form of a series of fictional letters sent from Nina Kurtela to Aki Kaurismäki read against a backdrop of atmospheric exterior shots, "Dear Aki" is an experimental visual-narrative essay on the nature of naming in the globalized world. Originating from an accidental anecdote about the artist's surname, the film develops through juxtaposing northern and southern imagery while questioning the possibilities of creating new fictional spaces in the realm of already existing landscapes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1749420970958-25W27IYUWKSCDHAD9XD5/Western+Fronts_+Gold+Butte_video_still+1+-+Rick+Silva.jpg Exhibitions - Mutual Terrain - Rick Silva "Western Fronts: Cascade Siskiyou, Gold Butte, Grand Staircase-Escalante, and Bears Ears" (USA) Western Fronts: Cascade Siskiyou, Gold Butte, Grand Staircase-Escalante, and Bears Ears is an experimental video that reflects the political and ecological threats that face four U.S. National Monuments. The work combines aerial drone footage and photogrammetry with 3D animation to create a nature documentary that collapses into itself. The wilderness is scanned by large shapes that momentarily reduce the landscape into grayscale polygons —in these redactions we glimpse a near-future dystopia of computer-vision aided resource extraction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1749421015922-RUGFMVMQHBMYMP2A3L9C/Newfoundland_Sequence.00_11_57_04.Still002+-+Sarah+Foulkes.jpg Exhibitions - Mutual Terrain - Ella Morton "The Great Kind Mystery" (Canada) I visited Newfoundland for the first time in 2012 and could immediately feel what a special place it was. It has since come to be one of the most artistically rich areas for my work. I was struck by how the land exists in a liminal space between the boreal forests of Southern Canada and bare Arctic tundra. The way the rocks heave out of the ocean and hold the weight of the sky is sublime and mournful. The power and complexity of the place is palpable when you’re there. I met Amy in 2019 and began work with her on this film when I was early in my journey as a documentary filmmaker. We recorded our first interview that year and I visited her childhood home of Daniel’s Harbour on the Northern Peninsula in 2021. Amy’s perspectives were enlightening- her words about the inherent kindness of nature, the land and the universe have resonated with me on all my travels since. The wisdom she shares in this film is remarkable for a young person. It is a privilege to bring her words and my images of our shared love of Newfoundland to international audiences. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/6b77ede9-66c5-4302-aa2d-700ae2612785/Western+Fronts_+Gold+Butte_video_still+1+-+Rick+Silva.jpg Exhibitions - Mutual Terrain - Mutual Terrain Exhibition Dates: July 11 to August 3, 2025 @Redline Contemporary Art Center 2350 Arapahoe Street Denver, CO, 80205 Curated by: Adán De La Garza + Jenna Maurice Redline hours Monday Closed Tuesday to Sunday 11 AM–5 PM Opening : Friday, July 11, 2025 6:30 PM 8:30 PM Click each artists photo for more information. https://www.denvermov.com/exhibitions/event-one-afwzw monthly 0.5 2025-07-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/a9091267-bf89-4212-86ef-9ca85aa6a250/fePCMZ+-+Karina+Popp.png Exhibitions - “Free Hors d'oeuvres” A Video Game exhibition “Free Hors d'oeuvres” A Video Game exhibition Curated by Dizzy Spell @Rainbow Dome 1660 Federal Boulevard Denver, CO, 80204 HOW TO PARK AT RAINBOW DOME Curated by: Dizzy Spell Gallery Hours: July 18th - 6pm to 9pm July 19th - 2pm-8pm July 20th - 2pm - 6pm July 26th - 2pm - 8pm Opening: July 18th from 6pm to 9pm Click each artists photo for more information. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1749802754087-5R5OTR0AHT5T5EEOJQIL/Mock+-+Nauris+Amatnieks.png Exhibitions - “Free Hors d'oeuvres” A Video Game exhibition - Nauris Amatnieks "Pixel Artist Simulator" (Latvia) A day in the life of a pixel artist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1749802773893-JWHSV9R8VEGQ240ADWCU/izDCOc+-+Michael+Berto.jpg Exhibitions - “Free Hors d'oeuvres” A Video Game exhibition - Michael Berto "The Zium Gallery 2022" (Australia and international) The Zium Gallery is the third instalment of The Zium series.

I wanted to try my hand at an engine called Binksi at inkJam 2022. Unfortunately, I was only able to block out around 6 hours for the project. The result is a short and rough execution of an idea (in association with the jam’s theme “Incredible, yet…”) that is nevertheless a playable from start to finish. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1749802775108-1O2DZ7WC2Y03HBEQR23M/ekphrasis-title+-+Martha+Hipley.gif Exhibitions - “Free Hors d'oeuvres” A Video Game exhibition - Martha Hipley "Ekphrasis" (USA/Mexico) Ekphrasis is a game about looking at things. I lived for many years in New York, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art was always a refuge - a public space for private moments. The experience of looking at art is as much about our personal stories, our desires, and our humor as it is about the objects themselves. What a gift to travel through time and space and imagine how you might be changed when you leave! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1749802800986-4UYFHQDWINTNM94496RW/Screenshot+2025-06-07+at+6.56.23%E2%80%AFPM.png Exhibitions - “Free Hors d'oeuvres” A Video Game exhibition - Mak2 "Art Survivors" (Hong Kong, China ) Art Survivors (2024), an interactive FPS (first-person shooter) game newly created by Mak2 that invites its audience virtually into the world of a fictional art fair. Filled with the artist’s own AI-generated artworks, what begins as a familiar cultural experience quickly escalates into a fight for survival – all the non-player characters have turned into zombies. Players must navigate through the fair and eliminate infected fair attendees, battling for victory in a place once of creative expression and appreciation, now turned into a labyrinth for survival. As the living dead charge at you wearing business casual outfits, the immersive storytelling of the game becomes as thought-provoking as it is thrilling. Synthesizing the imagined tranquility of an art fair with the chaotic absurdity of a zombie outbreak, the artwork posits a humorous hyperbole of certain invisible dynamics. Complete with rankings of both the best and worst players as well as droll reenactments of common art-fair-incited behaviors, the game magnifies and examines the aspects of competition, hierarchy, trauma, and strategy that are interwoven into the starry-eyed illusion of art. Art Survivors, however, is not just a tongue-in-cheek comment on art’s Darwinist, dog-eat-dog world. It is, more importantly, a reminder of the ultimate objective: To stay alive without becoming one of the infected – and with the right adjustment to mindset, maybe even have fun. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63acb0b9b0350a1079477f22/1749802776244-9TENPIGVX6HP1Y3ICLUU/fePCMZ+-+Karina+Popp.png Exhibitions - “Free Hors d'oeuvres” A Video Game exhibition - Karina Popp "Shit Art" (USA) You, an inimitable artist, have been commissioned by a wealthy patron to create art.
