The European Media Art Festival in Osnabrück is
one of the largest multimedia events for analogue
and digital media art in Europe.
The exhibition, retrospectives,
artists' portraits, performances, the
congress and the Electronic Café enable the audience
to gain an overall view of contemporary international
media art.
As in recent years the Tour-Programme encompasses
festival highlights and works which represent
the progressive state of media art. It consists of
a film and a video programme of different content
and character.
International artists present their different
approaches and use of techniques, their "art"
of reflecting personal and social experiences with
the medium by designing new worlds of images and
creating different narrative structures.
The Film Programme
-The Day Slows Down as it Progresses by Thomas
Bartels: a colourful portrait of India and the unusual
methods of producing images in this country.
-House by the Sea by Janne Oskari Ketola: a mixture
of an English Gothic Tale and the art of storytelling
in different time-levels on film.
-North 99 by Farhad Kalantary: a structural study of
the slow process of change perceived through the
eye of photography.
-Awake But Dreaming by Kerry Laitala: a dreamlike
stroll through the architecture of Castle Solitude reflecting
it as a location where the magical relation of
space and time becomes evident.
-HWA-Shan District Taipei by Bernhard Schreiner is
a film-photo-poetic reference of a real place, where
the only inhabitants are stray dogs.
-Operation 1 Eddy by Holger Tepe is an excellent example
of the inventive genius of young filmmakers
who recreate new works from old ones.
-Metropolen des Leichtsinns by Thomas Draschan is
a cheeky riposte on the use of found footage as the
basis for avant-garde and experimental films.
-As If by Christian Meyer tries a different approach to
tell a story in experimental film. Via digital technology
he places his actors in a surrealistic world somewhere
in the nowhere.
-Private Movie by Naomi Uman: a visual love poem
and ode to the city of gamblers, Las Vegas and the
great wide open of the American landscape.
The Video Programme
-Grüß Gott Östereich by Bernadette Huber reflects
on her feelings and fears when one day she heard
a neo-fascist of the Austrian FPÖ party swearing on
her answering machine.
-Wahre Worte, Böse Bilder, Raue Rhythmen by Harald
Schleicher: a bitter criticism of the arrogance of
politicians and their ability to twist or simply forget
former ideals. The deceased wife of the former German
chancellor gets a chance to speak as well.
-The City of Memory by Liu Wei deals with the necessity
of the Chinese people to assimilate to the
fast changing structures in Chinese society and the
rapid move into modern times, as well as their inability
to break with their traditions and escape their
history.
-Lovehotel by Linda Wallace: a complex work of art
based on poetry and the Internet. Systems of values
and symbols swirl and create a new dimension
and relationship between time, space and art.
-Mobile V by remi: abstract digital flickering on the
screen created by Renate Oblak accompanied by
the electronic sound of Michael Pinter. What more
can you say.
-The Last Roadtrip by Arno Coenen. A real journey
through a virtual country or, welcome to the global
Halloween Party. An animated horror trip to the land
of unlimited opportunities.
-Trainman Dreaming by Paul Caster looks is a theatre
play, a video performance or the ideal interpretation
of intimate fears and our inability to overcome
them.
-The Gods Love Those Silent Ones Who Clench Life
Between Their Teeth by Pieter Eycken creates a
strong narrative expressed simply through the choreography
of movement. Without words we experience
the lack of
communication between two people.
-Confine d´Aqua by Francesco Mannarini asks: Is
our perception restricted by the time factor? Does
time separate the different layers of imagination?
And can this process be influenced and changed?
-Final Exit by Joe Gibbons offers a glimpse of a long
intimate friendship in its last stage due to age and
disease.
