Channels Festival 2013
This inaugural video art festival will be shining a ray of face-melting, mind-bending light on all of us.
Overview
It's time to press play for Melbourne's new, biannual celebration of video art, which will officially occupy our screens and streets from September 18-21.
Directed by Jessie Scott (Tape Projects), Rachel Feery (Short Play) and Eugenia Lim (Assemble Papers), with program input from Ghita Loebenstein (Speakeasy Cinema), this artist-led collaboration provides an opportunity for more than 70 Australian and international video creatives to interact with a diverse audience, through a program of screenings, talks, workshops and forums.
Highlights of the three day program include Memory Screens: an exploration of the convergence of live and on-screen performance by artists Hannah Raisin, Emile Zile, and Salote Tawale; the Video Art in the Internet Era forum which examines the field of video art within a world dominated by smartphone technology; and the Videodromes closing party: a feast of audio-visual performance, projections, installations and good tunes.
Channels will kick off with an opening party at Screen Space on September 18.
