No Lockdown Art – Video Selection<\/strong><\/h6>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As part of the No Lockdown Art ongoing project initiated by Transcultures and the European Creation Nurseries during the first lockdown linked to the Covid-19 to support contemporary artistic projects likely to be broadcast online, several videos have been produced by artists (visual, sound, multimedia\u2026) integrating the sonic and experimental dimensions in creations of various aesthetics, which escape traditional classifications and offer a poetic and alternative look on our mutant world.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Visions of inside (Common Ground Project) \u2013 Kika Nicolela, BR, 2020, 8\u201951<\/strong><\/p>\n

Visions of inside <\/em>is the first video made using the database of the Common Ground Project<\/em><\/a> initiated by Kika Nicolela in April 2020 in reaction to the Covid-19 crisis. It promotes the creation of a shared database of videos, sounds and texts by worldwide artists, reflecting on the multiple issues raised by the crisis and the lockdown. Above all, the Common Ground Project’s<\/em> goal is to collectively use creation as means of communion and resistance.<\/p>\n

Kika Nicolela edited videos, sounds and texts by : Adrianne Little (US) | Aline Yasmin & Alex Cepile (BE) | Anna Berndtson (DE) | Carlosmagno Rodrigues (BR) | Christophe Litou (FR) | Craca (BR) | Davi Cavalcante (BR) | Fumiharu Sato & Hiroko Haraguchi (JP) | Gauthier Keyaerts (BE) | Gerard Chauvin (FR) | Gustavo Marcasse v(BR) | Isa Belle + Paradise Now (BE) | Ivelina Ivanova (BG) | Jan Kather (US) | John Sanborn (US) | Jorge Lozano (CAN) | Liliana Velez (CO) | Luana Lacerda (BR) | Marcia Beatriz Granero (BR) | Marina Fomenko (RU) | Mike Hoolboom (CAN) | Nia Pushkarova (BG) | Nung-Hsin Hu (US) | Philippe Boisnard (FR) | Phyllis Baldino (US) | Rejani Cantoni + Mirella Brandi + Muep Etmo (BR) | Samuel Bester (FR) | Sara N\u00e3o Tem Nome (BR) | Simon Dumas (CN) | Simon Guiochet (FR) | Sonia Guggisberg (BR) | Susana Lopez (ES) | Ulf Kristiansen (NO)<\/p>\n

Prince, John Sanborn\/Commando, USA, 2020, 5\u201923<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the process of creating ths video, the American queer writer\/performer Lynn Breedlove provided this insight into the text: \u201cI wrote this when Prince died, about how he affected me and my pals\u2019 personal lives by speaking up and being himself. It\u2019s about how an artist never knows how or where their work\u2019s gonna land, whose life they\u2019re gonna change.<\/p>\n

But if they make something with integrity, The World gets different….\u201d This led her to focus on the feelings of longing and loss prompted by dealing directly with painful memories from turbulent times, and towards crucial voices, long neglected. The result is relevant, raw, and intensely intimate \u2013 a \u201chome movie\u201d (with a post rock soundtrack of her group Commando) of emotions confessed to camera and to the world.<\/p>\n

\"\"No Lockdown Drift, Pastoral, BE\/FR, 2020, 5\u201909\u2019\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Produced via connected exchanges during the first Covid-19 lockdown in Spring 2020 by the Pastoral post pop duet, Lockdown Drift <\/em>captures the expectation, the floating sensation but also the domestic reverie, the imaginary transfiguration and a form of sweet melancholy.<\/p>\n

The images and sounds that dialogue between the residences (both in Wallonia-Belgium) of the protagonists (Huy for Christophe Bailleau and Mons for Philippe Franck) all come from the interior spaces and their close surroundings.<\/p>\n

An invitation to cherish the living in these different forms (human, animal, mineral, celestial \u2026) and its power-hope of creative metamorphosis.<\/p>\n

In a set of prisms, filters and mirrors, Alain Wergifosse offers some fragments of opto-mechanical treatments on pure light and on some digital images put into video feedback.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Triptyque Prototype, Thomas Isra\u00ebl, BE, 2020, 2\u201950\u2019\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Triptyque Prototype is an enigma with an exploded temporality which allows cross readings, associative. Its protagonist (the dancer Marilyn Daoust on a choreography by Manon Oligny) is in tension between the doll or the android and the woman of flesh.<\/p>\n

This video filmed in Montreal in 2015, as part of the interdisciplinary performance project Les Oracles (initiated by Productions Rhizome-Quebec in partnership with Transcultures-Belgium) was finalized in Brussels in Spring 2020 with a minimalist soundtrack by Paradise Now.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Ces riens essentiels #4, Gauthier Keyaerts, BE, 3\u201919\u2019\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ces riens essentiels<\/em> is an infinite work-in-progress, initiated during the lockdown. The journey actually started in 2018 when Gauthier Keyaerts was in Brittany, shooting images from the Ocean, the shore, lichens…<\/p>\n

He brought back this particular energy and feeling of spirituality (felt by Andr\u00e9 Breton).<\/p>\n

It helped since March to focus on the essentials: family, body, nature (insects, trees, flowers\u2026), love… this sublime chaos.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>After Covid_19, Philippe Boisnard, FR, 2020, 7\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

After Covid_19 is part of the research on disaster landscapes carried out by Philippe Boisnard in recent years. This creation, achieved during the first global confinement, was made live from pure-data (graphic programming software for musical and multimedia creation in real time) in both sound and image.<\/p>\n

This landscape and its evolution attempts to aesthetically show the emergence of the vertigo of the epidemic. Like a metaphorical vision, its crescendo is that of the psychic panic of man in the face of the surge of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Mars Abstraction S3 \u2013 Petermfriess, DE, 2019, 10’00<\/strong><\/p>\n

This third video work of Mars Abstraction<\/em> series defies the imagination in relation to a purely linear extension of human territories in space that is unlikely to happen as such. The visual material, taken from public sources, is reworked and recomposed to evoke the landscapes of Mars where, despite the date given by several probes, unknown mysteries and energies remain.<\/p>\n

As we do not know much about what can be heard on Mars, this video is accompanied by a sound creation that is inspired by both the imaginary and existing data.<\/p>\n

The Top Budget track was realized with little means, following technical problem with the equipment, the duo having recorded with the microphone of a old computer, using free softwares and various borrowed tools.<\/p>\n

This is how the low tech sound of PRISM came about. In that spirit, this video shows how problems lead to last-minute solutions minute, a dark but energetic tension, alternating current and high voltage.<\/p>\n

The video was filmed with an old iPhone, and also uses images found, recycled, … in a DIY, crazy and punky spirit of the duet.<\/p>\n
