The second part of the name; black box and crystal ball, relates to the manner of mood of the video works to be shown. As the name suggests; through modern technology, screens which are exclusively modern and desirable commodities, we will show works which convey contemporary visual poetics and other-worldliness, utilizing the screens as the window to the world beyond the real.
