how to contribute to the archive

The video archive transforms the basement of the museum into an environment for wandering and inhabiting, for moving images and conversations. Navigate it with the familiar buttons: play, skip, rewind, and by the constellations of points of contact, interest and identification provided by the video compilations which form the archive.

Video as Urban Condition reflects on the mutability of video as it shifts between fact and fiction, entertainment and persuasion, urban fantasy and reality-TV, art and activism, surveillance and control — tracing the web of interactions between of media and architecture, subject and commodity, identity and desire, the city and its phantasmagoria.

The project examines a medium whose most distinctive characteristics are multiplicity and diversity, a form which is not contained by the norms and institutions of art nor by the exclusive domains of professionals. Video is a medium of mass production — that is, mass participation — as well as of mass consumption. The project recognises the diversity of activity in the field and challenges us to reflect on how the relations of representation in society are mediated by video.

Organised by Anthony Auerbach and Thomas Edlinger.
