Monkey Town offers a twice-yearly video art program - a semiennial - of the high water marks, the standouts, the stuff that made an impression. The immersive video equivalent of "come hang out a my place and listen to some records."

Their curatorial process is "no more complicated than this is the best new stuff we've seen. We've continue to be turned on to great work and we're just itching to pass it along. But we can offer up a few rough rules for what appeals to us:"

video that loves its content more than its technology
video that doesn't mistake a technique for an idea
video that is in conversation with contemporary art as a whole
video that doesn't take itself too seriously
video that sells itself
video that rocks la casa
