VDB TV presents: Invalid data — dreaming through the gaps

Program online beginning July 7, 2016

Curated by Abina Manning and Eugenia Marketou

As part of our ongoing commitment to the presentation of groundbreaking moving image art, VDB TV presents this free online program of curated video works (1997–2012) that are concerned with media and mediation, technology and collaboration… and all things in between. This program was originally curated for Uncommon/Common, an incubator for skills and knowledge-sharing that responded to the themes of the commons and “commoning,” held at the 2014 College Art Association Conference.

“Since we realize that mediation is everywhere, and involves both the physical—sea, air, earth, humans—and new media or electronic forms, how have the endless streams of pixilated films and videos changed the way we experience our hypervisual world?”
–Eugenia Marketou

These artists’ videos appropriate material from social media platforms such as YouTube, cell phones, surveillance cameras, video games, and found footage to address the issues surrounding the politics and proliferation of what Hito Steyerl calls the “poor image.”

The program was curated by Video Data Bank Executive Director Abina Manning and Greek curator, activist and interdisciplinary artist Eugenia Marketou.
