Katrin Schoof (Germany)

'Paradiese Panorama' can be abstractly described as the intertwining of both spatial and physical expansion, made visible by a piece of nature" (Werner Hofmann on Caspar David Friedrich and Art at the beginning of the 19th century) – Using the Romantic Movement as inspiration, it investigates landscape as a "space of desires". Through opulent images of both real and virtual landscapes, a contemplative journey into something like paradise unfolds. |

Below 1,000 metres you enter the dark zone and an alien world with its own “light emitting technology”. Unusual creatures appear, whose photophores give pulsating displays of colour. The only light here is produced by the animals themselves through bioluminescence. They survive totally without energy from the sun. Emitting specific light types in a dark world where red light does not exist anymore becomes essential for searching for food and fleeing hunters. |

‘Dark Nights’ is a collection of short films brought together in acknowledgement of the risk that LED screens may create light and noise pollution in public spaces. Aimed at reducing light emission and preventing the flickering of light that is disturbing to many, the films are primarily dark tones and soft transitioning images, and are screened silently. |

Feature Films
|
|
| |
|
Futuristic urban screen visions have appeared repeatedly in feature films over decades and have shaped our association with the digital moving images in public spaces such as ‘Minority Report’ and ‘The Island’. ‘Bedevil’ was the first feature directed by an Australian Aboriginal woman, challenging racial stereotypes in Australian society. The narrative consists of three 'ghost stories' which belong to Aboriginal and Anglo/Celtic relatives. These stories are told via a playful bending and blending of generic conventions, providing a meta-narrative of how Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians understand and live with each other.

The social urban environment is very distanced from rural Australia where the Landscape is about rural people, black or white. This digital storytelling project is about listening and eliciting farmer’s stories in the first person within north east Victoria. Many within these communities have a strong historic link with their landscape and cultural attachment to their district. Yet this understanding and sense of place is often misunderstood and overlooked. |

Visual Foreign Correspondents is a series of audio-visual artworks. Artists from around the world are invited to give their personal visual commentary on events and situations from their locally situated perspective. Regular news feeds are often used as content for public and urban screens; screens become a window into another world, its peoples and other kinds of imagination. VFC provides a new perspective from which to view our own local news stream.

|
|
|
|
Let’s take a deep breath before we think about community today! Is there ‘community’ in terms of human settlement etymology and geographical relationships turning into metaphors of virtual meta-cities of a new mediatic ‘civilization’? No, we are still very much bound to our local space and its inhabitants. Common fears, desires, rituals or pleasures determine our integration in the local community, our living condition and distinguish but also connect us in a globalised world.

Erica Scourti (Greece) |

| Daily Screening on the LED Visitor Center Screen |

|
What modern heroes are guiding and shaping our lives? Ghost Story is a visual poem which uses the titles of celebrity autobiographies to tell the partial story of the artist’s life, her own biography. Part truth, part fiction, the film questions the nature of personal experience through the prism of memory and addresses the porous boundary between ‘true life’ and fiction.

‘Standard Time’ (2007) 24h

Mark Formanek / Datenstrudel (Germany)

Between other programs, we bring you ‘Standard Time’.
|
|
|
|
We will keep you up to date! 70 workers are building a wooden 4 x 12 m "digital" time display in real time: a work that involves 1611 changes within 24 hours. People who, with a stoic sense of duty, are wasting time on an apparently useless activity that fulfills only one function: to display time. Even though the workers are trying hard to construct every single minute, they are constantly on the verge of failing. Standard Time emphasizes the meticulous, old-fashioned and human approach of experiencing time.
