Appel à participation 2022 : 35 Festival Les Instants Vidéo
Published on 15 décembre 2021 by Instants Vidéo

Manifestation dédiée à l’art vidéo et la poésie électronique, sous toutes ses formes (projections, installations, performances…)

Octobre / Novembre 2022
Marseille (et ailleurs)
Date limite : 15 mai 2022
 

De tout, il resta trois choses :
La certitude que tout était en train de commencer, la certitude qu’il fallait continuer,
la certitude que cela serait interrompu avant que d’être terminé.
Faire de l’interruption, un nouveau chemin,
faire de la chute, un pas de danse,
faire de la peur, un escalier,
du rêve, un pont,
de la recherche, une rencontre. Fernanda Sabino

Le Festival Les Instants Vidéo est une manifestation dédiée à l’art vidéo et la poésie électronique, sous toutes ses formes (projections, installations, performances…). Il se tient à Marseille et dans la Région, ainsi qu’à l’international.

De nos questionnements pour 2022, surgissent ces trois points. Et nous voulions les partager avec vous

Les iconoclastes voulaient détruire les images pour en détruire leur signification. Pour des raisons morales, religieuses ou politiques, on détruit les images par peur que le sens qui s’y cache ne déclenche la fronde, la remise en question, le doute. Aujourd’hui, sous l’apparence du contraire, nous faisons la même chose mais au lieu de détruire les images même, nous les accablons de significations !
Nous vivons dans un monde de créateur.rice.s, d’influenceur.rice.s et de commentateur.rice.s. Le discours, le buzz, prend le pas sur l’oeuvre : ce qu’on en dit a tendance à avoir plus d’importance que l’œuvre elle même. La légende devient plus importante que l’image même.
La distinction entre les formes d’art propres aux classes populaires et d’autres formes d’art propres aux élites cultivées reste assez générale dans nos sociétés stratifiées. 
  Pour s’inscrire, c’est ici: https://filmfreeway.com/instantsvideo
Courant septembre, chacun.e des artistes sera informé.e de la sélection du festival.
Sachez que nous regarderons votre travail avec attention, étant conscient.e.s que la poésie électronique est fragile et délicate : un frémissement.
Nous attendons vos œuvres avec impatience

L’équipe des Instants Vidéo

Manifestation internationale soutenue par le Ministère de la Culture (DRAC, PACA), le Conseil Régional (PACA), le Conseil Général des Bouches-du-Rhône, La Ville de Marseille.

operated as alternative exhibition venues in
Toronto from the late 1980s to the
present day. This project shows, over the course of several short videos and
transcripts, how a movement that started as a group of renegade artist collectives
exhibiting their work in temporary spaces eventually evolved into the sustainable
artist collective galleries we are familiar with today.
