24es Instants Video 2011

Different venues, Marseille

Artistic direction Marc Mercier

The Instants Vidéo Numériques et Poétiques are calling all the sentences, words, letters, ponctuation, images, sounds, notes, voices, colors, gestures... and all those who produce them to destroy all forms of oppression. To create texts, films, paintings, sculptures, musics... with a free self-determination. To dynamite clichés, to rob the banks of preconceived ideas, to occupy the classical and contemporary Academies, to equally share out all the poetic riches according to everyone's needs, to abolish all the borders which divide languages, genres and art forms, to foster the free movement and the free establishing into our language of immigrant, strange and foreign words, with the guarantee of enjoying the same rights than native words. We are calling for the abolition of all succession duties for the private cultural and artistic capital which must automatically become public and made freely available to everyone according to his needs.

We are calling for the transgression of all the grammatical laws which limit the range of our sensibilities, the invention of new conjugation tenses, the liberation of the editing of images and sounds from cinematographic and commercial orchestral jails, for the edification of barricades to defend ourselves against the fonts which occupy our poetic pages, for disarming the managerial militias which prevent our insurrectionary dreams and strikes, for the siege of the palaces where our rebel words' destinies are governed, for the declaration of the permanent revolution of the way we love and create.
We are calling for the music notes, the city noises, the songs, opera arias, meows, neighs, peeps, growls, grunts, barks, yelps, hisses, trumpetings, wails, to join their struggling companions in order to feed them with new rythms and sounds. We are calling for the sabotage of the machines which convert the generous impulses of poetry into accounting data, for the sacking of the factories of Oscars, Césars and other obsolete honours, which mix up art with military hierarchy.
Poems of all stripes, refuse the titles that are imposed on you! Remember that titulus was the name of the notices the slaves wore around their necks when they were dragged to the market. Let's build word barricades without muses but amused, without museums but immoderate, and let's roar with drinking laughter.
We are asking artworks to revolt against their authors when they confuse them with the dirty works which lead them to prostitution in mercantile art galleries, in book whorehouses or for the attention of mundane art critics holding court in the seedy brothels of a particular press which oppresses the thought for the well-being of their belly and bottom.
We are encouraging artworks to rise up against aesthetic leaderships which barely hide their connivance with neo-fascist and mercantile dictatorships, by claiming that revolt only has an aesthetic value: belles are belles only when rebels, the beautiful boys are beautiful only when rebeautiful. Sorry about this absurd rhyminal affair...
We are demanding the immediate liberation of the words that are political prisoners, censored and sensored, imprisoned in the newspeak, like revolution, communism, anarchism, freedom... and the words that are economical prisoners, imprisoned because they practiced for themselves and their close relatives self-redistribution of the riches monopolized by spiritual directors, publicists, academy members, media, servile intellectuals, political scientists and other specialists of nothing and everything...

We are demanding absolute texual freedom, textual pleasure without chains, free association for all images, words, musics, dances, architectures, whatever their sex, whether they are motivated by love or pleasure stricto sensu. We will abolish weddings, religious or civil, and will celebrate the recognition of all bastards, neologisms, image dissolves, jump cuts, musical hubbubs, spelling, grammatical or syntax mistakes... We will grant the right to plagiarize, hijack, twist, sign with our own name... all the works made by others... because private property will be totally abolished. Works belong momentarily to the one who uses them best.
It will be possible to designate a word, an image or a sound to represent other words, images or sounds on the strict condition that they will be immediately dismissed if they don't accomplish the missions (in form and content) for which they were given a mandate.
Words, images, sounds, colors, forms, gestures will freely associate and will be forbidden all forms of subordination, starting with the one which gives a supreme authorship to the origin of words. Etymology will no more be able to claim to hold the word's truth. Precedence is not a proof of superior value. Etymology will only be a pretext for poetic impregnation.

Art cluttered itself up with back-language, back-images, back-sounds... as in backhander... as means to coarse ends, undeserved privileges which give almost every time the laurels of glory to the most insipid. They are not worth more than two pennies, the price of a stained tabletop they are able to ramble about like others vomit, just to raise the market value of their adverse self-conceit.
Like a special branch, the artists aligned on the market criteria wiretap the art shareholders and the speculators of good taste to adapt their style and subjects to the mood of the times.
Algebraic and geometric signs, use the weight of numbers! Pictograms, ideograms, rebus, syllabic, phonetic, hieroglyphic writings, phonetic and stenographic alphabets, tags, big stains of wine, pixels, bits... be fruitful and multiply excessively in a joy bath always preferable to a blood bath!
