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.
