Oneminutes
The One Minutes is a global platform for one-minute videos. The One Minutes Foundation produces and distributes One Minutes, providing a platform for people to create and connect through short, accessible video art. History The One Minutes was initiated in 1998 by Katja van Stiphout and Michal Buttink, two students of the Sandberg Institute, Masters of Art and Design. The institute’s director Jos Houweling was asked to fill in an hour of airtime on local television, SALTO, once a month from midnight to 1 a.m. and offered this to two of his students. They invited fellow students and friends to fill the timeslot with one-minute films. A new format was born. Within the inexorable limitation of 60 seconds, the endless possibilities of video were revealed. The hour at midnight grew into a worldwide platform, where television channels, arts organisations and film festivals adopted segments of One Minutes, showcasing one-minutes at film festivals, art organisations and cultural instit ...

Video Art
Video art is an art form which relies on using video technology as a visual and audio medium. Video art emerged during the late 1960s as new consumer video technology such as video tape recorders became available outside corporate broadcasting. Video art can take many forms: recordings that are broadcast; installations viewed in galleries or museums; works streamed online, distributed as video tapes, or DVDs; and performances which may incorporate one or more television sets, video monitors, and projections, displaying live or recorded images and sounds. Video art is named for the original analog video tape, which was the most commonly used recording technology in much of the form history into the 1990s. With the advent of digital recording equipment, many artists began to explore digital technology as a new way of expression. One of the key differences between video art and theatrical cinema is that video art does not necessarily rely on many of the conventions that define t ...

Ways Of Seeing
''Ways of Seeing'' is a 1972 television series of 30-minute films created chiefly by writer John Berger and producer Mike Dibb. It was broadcast on BBC Two in January 1972 and adapted into a book of the same name. The series was intended as a response to Kenneth Clark's ''Civilisation'' TV series, which represents a more traditionalist view of the Western artistic and cultural canon, and the series and book criticise traditional Western cultural aesthetics by raising questions about hidden ideologies in visual images. According to James Bridle, Berger "didn't just help us gain a new perspective on viewing art with his 1972 series Ways of Seeing – he also revealed much about the world in which we live. Whether exploring the history of the female nude or the status of oil paint, his landmark series showed how art revealed the social and political systems in which it was made. He also examined what had changed in our ways of seeing in the time between when the art was made and t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ecosexual
Sexecology, also known as ecosexuality, is a radical form of environmental activism based around nature fetishism, the idea of the earth as a lover. It invites people to treat the earth with love rather than see it as an infinite resource to exploit. It was founded by Elizabeth Stephens and Annie Sprinkle, who describe themselves as "two ecosexual artists-in-love", whose manifesto is to make environment activism "more sexy, fun, and diverse". Sexecology employs absurdist humor, performance art and sex-positivity, which Stephens claims "may produce new forms of knowledge that hold potential to alter the future by privileging our desire for the Earth to function with as many diverse, intact and flourishing ecological systems as possible." The couple promote education, events such as the ecosex symposium, and activism, such as protecting the Appalachian Mountains from mountain top removal. Difference from ecofeminism Sexecology conceives of the earth not as a mother, but as a lover ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
