About Pier Giorgio De Pinto
Pier Giorgio De Pinto is a trans-disciplinary artist, a performer, a curator, a theorist and a media trainer. De Pinto strongly uses new media as a “thinking medium” in which involves the audience, creating performative experiences and immersive environments. His projects usually involve others – musicians, choreographers and artists – from different cultural backgrounds, styles and identity genres. These collaborations enable De Pinto to undertake new and radical experimental projects, capable of stimulating discussion about stereotypes and prejudices, asking awkward questions in the areas of culture, politics and religion.

CHARACTERS
New people, new video identifications
"The video device has represented a privileged medium in contemporary art history to identify the anthropological coordinates of mankind, thanks to its ability in slipping into the spaces of living and shooting both the most ordinary and the hidden identities in our walks of life, thus bringing the "different", the marginalized, the '"other"ones to light.
For over forty years the videocamera has become the bearer of possible visions of the world and its actors by operating from some vantage point directly inside, in contact with or as an emanation of the real: in such a way, it has steadily coped with the problem of attributing identity to people who are actually in constant and unpredictable mobility of roles and designations.
What are therefore the possible characterizations of our and other’s self nowadays, when the traditional biological and social labels seem to have been torn and the physical and cultural traditions of our identity in some way been altered by an incessant technological and social melting pot?
The answer is likely to lie in a delicate balance between the will to bring back our human specificity and the proactive attention to the most plausible suggestions of all new issues that are behind our doors or already in our homes."
Giorgio Fedeli

OODAAQ International Videoart Festival on VisualcontainerTV

OODAAQ International Videoart Festival
BEST OF 2011
International Videoart Festival, Rennes, France
22 February to 29 March 2012
Only on VisualcontainerTV
www.visualcontainer.tv

VisualcontainerTv for the 3rd anniversary of the webtv is glad to presents the Best OF 2011 from OODAAQ Festival based in Rennes, France

About OODAAQ
Oodaaq is an island discovered in 1975 northeast of Greenland. This bank of gravel and silt, covered by several meters of ice, is said to be the most northern emerged land on earth.
It is on this inaccessible and invisible territory that we settled our camp, in order to explore contemporary artistic creation. The nomad inhabitants of Oodaaq are travelling the world and form a collective of creators in constant evolution.
Leading an existence somewhere between reality and imagination, the island of Oodaaq can be seen as a metaphor for video- and photographic images. Although their models are most of the time concrete and real, the image they produce of them is by definition artificial, immaterial, manipulated and manipulating. The gap between image and reality allows a poetic approach to our environment. www.loeildoodaaq.fr

The first Oodaaq Festival of poetic images took place from 5 to 14 May 2011 in Rennes, with exhibitons, screening nights, video windows, as well as performances and a video-bus. More than 80 artists came to exhibit, screen and perform their work in more than 15 places throughout the city of Rennes.The success of the first festival, with 3800 visitors, leads l’OEil d’Oodaaq to reconduct this human and artistic experience with the second edition of the festival in May 2012.

FLOWERS OF CHAOS

FLOWERS OF CHAOS
Chinese Videoart Project
Curator: Cecilia Freschini
 
19 December to 18 January 2012
Only on VisualcontainerTV
www.visualcontainer.tv

VisualcontainerTv presents on ExhibitContainer - format dedicated to the most interesting international Videoart projects and festivals- "Flowers Of Chaos " Chinese Animation Videoart selection curated by Cecilia Freschini (independent curator based in Beijing) in collaboration with Artverona Fair (It)

Project Statement
The aim of this project is to highlight a specific sector of Chinese video art by focussing attention on its particular origins. What do the artists selected, all from the Chinese mainland, see when they look around?
Chaos! Overwhelming disorder, which they deal with through their voice: tales and allegories that investigate today's society in an ironic manner, though without being afraid of tackling the Party's heavy ideology.
Like plants growing in a hostile terrain, their roots burrow deep down towards an uncertain source of nutrition, and they proliferate in the depths, beyond naked social distress. They are flowers born from chaos, drunk with the energy that surrounds them, but also fatigued by the continuous and incessant process of urban modernization. In their search for an identity they are forced to elude the oppression that has so harshly tested their very creative survival.

Curator: ISFTH Foundation

1st - 18th December 2011
Only on VisualcontainerTV
www.visualcontainer.tv

VisualcontainerTV wants to share the "official opening" of the 6° STREAMING FESTIVAL on the web.
VisualcontainerTv presents on ExhibitContainer - format dedicated to the most interesting international Videoart projects and festivals- "Motion based collages reloaded ", a special screening from the 6°edition of Streaming Festival - International Videoart Festival from The Hague, NL.

About Streaming Festival:
Contemporary videoculture, Sound and 2D programs in the 6th edition of the Streaming Festival from 1 to 18 December 2011.

The Streaming Festival is an art event for independent artists exhibiting unconventional audio-visual art from all over the world. This event takes place once a year on www.streamingfestival.com.

The Streaming Festival is a non-profit project created to encourage the understanding of audio-visual art.
Naturally, the artists’ viewpoints differ from one another, whether in their subjects or in the way they created their work.
This edition aims to show a sample of that diverse contemporary videoculture while stressing the all-time significance of artistic development.
In addition to the many videos on display, this edition will première a whole new direction with the Sound and 2D programs.
www.streamingfestival.com

“In the traditional collage different materials and sources are composed onto a surface, but in this case, into a single digital video. This program is based on films using found footage, multiple video-channels, paintings and photographs that are rearranged, cut and (re-)edited into a layered composition. Motion based collages offer the possibility to the artist to make a statement without the need for an explicit explanation of their rearrangement or intentions, as they are open to interpretation by comparing the different visual elements”
