CIRCA Puerto Rico '07 - CALL FOR VIDEO
 

Entre la piedra y la flor
("Between the stone and the flower")
Curated by Lee Wells
 
Artist/curator Lee Wells, co-founder of Perpetualartmachine.com and IFAC-arts will organize two screening programs fusing contemporary short form video artworks that discuss politics and beauty.
 
Through the use of the Internet, new media and affordable means of production and distribution, international video artists now have the tools to break free from the confines and dissolve the boarders that once marginalized the artists and the art form. Globalization has produced a transcultural convergence that allows the artists to not only break from the classical conception of culture but also find a mutual intersection that mixes cultural forms and lifestyles by cutting through the various national and ethnic boundaries previously defined by 20th century institutional multicultural spectacles.
 
 
Screening 1 - A Peaceful Night
A program of  video that reflects the social and political circumstances of 21st century globalism in relation to the expanding influence of international culture.
 
Screening 2 - In the Eye of the Beholder
A program of video analyzing the esthetics of the sublime and how technologies rapidly changing influence is redefining concepts of identity, and our relationships to the world around us.
 
 
Requirements
Duration - 5 minutes or less.
Format – NTSC Video, DVD or Quicktime . DV or .MOV Data files.
Created after January 1, 2001.
