Video Mundi Program 3 Wednesday, April 20 6:30pm at the Chicago Cultural
Center The programme is made out of video art works that have fascinated me during the exhaustive previewing for the 25hrs event in Barcelona last year. When I saw them for the first time I couldn't find a folder on my system to store them. The ideas within the works were in the edges of my understanding of the mechanics of contemporary life and art. It is hard to imagine something contemporary that has not been brought to us by technology, especially by language technology for which video art is pioneer. It is not so much that videos talk or represent technology but that they exist in a conceptual, social and technical space possible only due the very present development of our tools.

Manuel Saiz has been working since the 80's as an
artist, first in photographs sculptures and installations and since 1996
in video, single channel and installations. The work has been shown widely
in art galleries, museums and festivals around the world. In 2001 he curated
for the first time a show with work of other artists, on London-based
art. Last year he worked with two other curators in the organization of
25hrs, an international
panorama of video art since 1990 showing works of 280 artists. |
