Visualcontainer as partner of hipnotic frames, it’s proud to present a special videoart selection in the frame of the event.
Moreover [.BOX] videoart project space and VisualcontainerTV will host the best of hypnotic frame in Milan and worldwide in our networks.

“New technologies have a special impact on our daily lives in any field. They are infinitely diverse in shape and content, swinging between translating the real space into a virtual one that finally gets contaminated with these subtle, invisible interferences
– This subtle contamination develops a multitude of information and suggestions that seem chaotic at first sight but, looking closer, they will reveal a complex mathematical algorithm.
– The illusion of the virtual spaces is also related to a series of real spatial shapes which can be translated into complex mathematical formulas like, for example, the relation between Pascal’s triangle and Fibonacci’s sequence.
Every number in this triangle represents the sum of the two numbers above. The triangle starts with number 1. Following this example, the 3D space can change into bidimensional and viceversa.
– The result will be a complex series of spatial or bidimensional shapes, colours can be translated into numbers, numbers into reality and optical illusion.
– Thus a continuous movement appears, that hypnotizes the viewer. Hypnosis makes him/her confuse real or virtual existent space with the imaginary shapes created by the optical illusion, the mathematical algorithm translated by the artist into image.
Mathematical conformism will not be considered a mere sterile convention refusing to acknowledge truth. The supreme condition of numbers is the reality lived consciously or unconsciously, transformed into a world of hypnotic mirages or into an abstract, calculated, conscious space. These two different but complementary aspects do not exclude the intimacy or the essence from the sphere of the universal valid truth.”
Curator ׃ Associate Professor Dr. Gabriela Diana Bohnstedt Gavrilaș

Suspended territories and other Italian stories
Videoart screening curated by Visualcontainer Italian Videoart Platform

26 October 2015
c/o MUU Galleria
Lönnrotinkatu 33
Helsinki

Suspended territories and other Italian stories
The territory conceived as an unexplored or rethought space, a new place of apparitions and reflections.
The video selection focuses on the relationship between artistic research and the research of “other” territories, where is possible to transcend from reality and create a conceptual or subliminal space.
These are halfway stories about the real and the subliminal throughout space suspended. Stories that redraw the boundaries of reality and investigating the everyday habits and the projection of itself. A journey through the thoughts, memories and elaborations concerning socio-cultural aspects that reflects the Italian contemporary situation.
The selected artists, in turn, reflect the visions of the last years through the medium of video, recreating real-world scenarios and ideals, playing with the digital language untill abstraction. The art works presented develop an original non-linear narrative language that takes the viewer on different levels of reading and understanding.
Moreover, The selected works range from animation to performance, deliberately creating a kaleidoscope of visual languages boosting the perception and vision of the viewer.

Visualcontainer as a platform dedicated to Italian video art, has been working for years researching and investigating the audiovisual production of middle-carrier and emerging artists.
Emerging considerations from “Suspended territories and other italian’s stories” highlighted the idea of intensity and beauty through linguistic research always original thanks to the conscious use of the audiovisual media and new technologies.

Incidental Peripheral
Videoart Screening from Mediterranean area
Curator: Rachel Dedman, London/Lebanon

What significance does the term Mediterranean have for artists? As a space defined by a peripheral connection to the sea, it is absolutely vast – stretching from Southern Spain, North Africa and Italy across the coast of Eastern Europe, sweeping down past Turkey, Greece and the Levant before rounding Egypt and Libya. In a region shaped – literally – byfluidity, by a body of water, what bearing can such a term possibly have upon understanding the practices of artists working in peripherally connected countries, beyond the superficially geographic?

This hour-long screening for MUU Helsinki, of video artwork by Mediterranean artists, does not attempt to answer this, and can lay claim to neither breadth nor rigour. It hopes to resistthe temptation to cast wide thematic nets, or to dwell specifically upon the Mediterranean asa site of anxiety, urgency, migration and politico-economic upheaval. The selection of artworks has been guided instead by an interest in locality and origin as a mode of working with video, and is driven by works considering, in very different ways, genesis and what it means to be from somewhere.

Video selected:
Nour Ouayda, The Pale Light Of Day, 2014, 22′
Mirna Bamieh, Interrupted Biographies, 2014, 11′
Faycal Baghriche, The Message Project [extract], 2010, 8′
Marwan Hamdan, On Earth As It Is In Heaven, 2014, 14’08”
