PROJECTOR / FESTIVAL, terrà la sua decima edizione dal 7 al 17 settembre 2017 con sede a Madrid e mostre durante tutto l’anno in altre città della Colombia, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Italia, Perù, Portogallo e Marocco.

PROJECTOR è orgoglioso delle 10 edizioni 2008-2017, 10 anni di lotta contro il vento e il mare per creare a Madrid una piattaforma professionale per la creazione, diffusione e la fruizione di videoarte. Questo media ha lasciato un’eredità che ha posto le basi e ha permesso di rompere i due grandi totem: la televisione come entità panottica trasmettente realtà e il cinema, con i suoi elevati costi di produzione. L’emergere dell’arte video ci ha permesso di democratizzare la creazione, di partecipare, senza dover ricorrere a grandi mezzi per creare opere degne dei più prestigiosi musei.

In questa nuova edizione celebriamo e ringraziamo tutti coloro che ci hanno seguito anno dopo anno; tutti gli spazi che sono stati e continuano ad essere la sede del progetto e che ci hanno permesso di mostrare la video arte in modo equo, sia nei musei, nei grandi centri d’arte, in gallerie, in spazi indipendenti, in ambienti esterni e in laboratori di artisti , creando una mappa espansa e una rete di lavoro; a tutte le entità e istituzioni che ci hanno dato il loro sostegno per continuare a crescere; e, naturalmente, ringraziamo anche i video artisti, i creatori internazionali che hanno inviato le loro proposte, nonché gli ospiti senza il cui lavoro a questo progetto non avrebbe senso.

È per questo motivo che PROYECTOR2017 differisce notevolmente da altre edizioni e presenta:

– il lancio di PROJECTOR / PLATFORM ONLINE, per la diffusione e la distribuzione di video art.
– la seconda edizione degli incontri professionali sula Videoarte
– Un programma eccezionale a Madrid con le migliori proposte che hanno attraversato il Festival negli ultimi 10 anni più gli artisti ospiti.

La sua programmazione è costituita da 65 opere provenienti da 17 nazioni, interventi video (singolo canale, multicanale, interattivo). Curatori internazionali da oltre 20 paesi e circa 250 opere, nonché spettacoli, workshop e conferenze. Tutto questo, come sempre a carattere gratuito.

Si aspettano circa 4000 visitatori fisici e circa 60.000 visitatori virtuali. PROYECTOR Festival è anche mostrato in 8 paesi, 20 spazi per un totale di circa 8.000 m2.

In 2017, we’d like to remember the best works and presenting their retrospective, as well as to show the new projects by the participants of the Festival previous editions.

Collective Shades
Today with the digitalization age we share a sense of heritage and commonality with many human beings we have never met. Identity and collective memory’s ideas flows in a mixed common feelings … and what’s happens if the collective memory goes deeper in meanings levels?
It opens up a subliminal scenario where the unconscious explores the deeper meaning of common feelings.

This video selection wants to investigate on in-visible field, on what remains settled into our un-conscious, showing shadow and our shadows, as the mental mapping of places and the mapping of ourselves. Collective meanings, collective memories, collective shades. Curated by Alessandra Arnò

IN|DUST|REAL|Video art event, VIIIth edition
We live in an artificial and irrational world where the qualities of nature are replaced with episodic immediate values that miss the richness of the natural universe at a micro and macrocosmic level.
The contemporary society teaches the present generations to consume more than necessary. We constantly encounter recommendations to overconsume, through advertisements, the Internet, posters, etc. These make us less vigilant and undermine the knowledge of true effects on ecosystems and make the role of nature more relative, excluding or ignoring the effects of man’s forced intrusion into nature as a consequence of industrial overproduction.
The continuous product promotion lead to a generation most of the time unaware of the effects this excessive consumption has on the environment.
We are a consumer generation which forgets that waste production has a negative impact on the natural regeneration and the preservation of natural ecosystem.
The changes in climate have reached dangerous levels for the normal pace of life evolution and waste reintegration is by far much slower than the process of producing toxic substances that can be found in food, plastic, metal or electronic waste.
Questions regarding the protection and preservation of the environment have been raised worldwide:
-why the technological progress means, in many cases, environmental destruction and which are the ways of saving those natural ecosystems destroyed by excessive industrial development?
-how can we synchronize natural regeneration with the idea of technological evolution without undermining the natural development of ecosystems?
-can elements of nature be preserved by using modern technology? Can we look at this artificial preservation as a necessary measure to regenerate ecosystems?
-how can we cope with the mistakes we make while implementing new technologies?
-how do we protect nature by drafting sets of bioethical rules meant to produce beneficial effects upon nature?
The video artist’s suspicion related to these phenomena is materialised by interpreting images that are directly connected either with the essential attributes of the realities of nature or with the human actions upon nature. Thus the contemporary artist questions the technology – nature relation in a critical, conceptual and aesthetic manner and studies fragments from the natural reality or visual monstrosities produced by man’s intrusion in the natural environment.
