VIDEOFEST is part of the
INTERNATIONAL VIDEOART SHOW
July 11-13
Since the first video camera appeared in the early 1960s—the “Porta pack“, the grandmother of the current camcorder—not only tourists and families but many artists have used the tool as a medium and support for their works. Pioneering figures like Nam June Paik and the Fluxus artist group (including Berliner Wolf Vostell) were extremely important in developing video as a contemporary art, and the genre has been gaining a more privileged place in the art world ever since. Nevertheless, we are still talking about a young art form which is why we decided to create VIDEOAKT, opening a space to authors who cultivate video. In the show we want to give a place both for emerging artists and for those who have consolidated their trajectory, revealing a wide variety of languages derived from the use of video.
