The Video Essay in the Digital Age
Symposium und Video Screenings

Friday - Sunday, 31. Mai - 2. Juni 2002

An essential particularity of the video essay is the compression of time and levels of meaning, mediated through a dense configuration of image, text and sound tracks.
Today, this multi-layered, discursive video genre situates itself in the context of new communications media and digital production which open new dimensions to image technologies and means of diffusion. The video essayist practice also responds in content to an increasingly complex society.
Thus, the primary concern of audiovisual essayists is not to represent visible realities but to test conceptual connections through the articulation of rather untangible social and cultural transitions.
The diverse ways in which this working method expresses itself in the combination of precise observation and recording, subjective narration, and theoretical reflection will be the subject of the symposium.
