Knotweed @ Kunstfort Vijfhuizen
2018-09-08 14:00 - 15:00 (Europe/Amsterdam) | Kunstfort Vijfhuizen, Fortwachter 1, Vijfhuizen, 2141 EE
A performance by Sam Keogh
Using collage, text and audio visual elements, Sam Keogh’s new performance knots together several disparate strands of research on invasive species; landlord revenge; worker sabotage and foraged food trends. ‘Knotweed’ becomes a performance as root system, rhizomaticaly undermining housing as commodity.

Kings of Infinite Space @ Eye Filmmuseum
2018-04-07 20:00 - 23:30 | Eye, IJpromenade 1, Amsterdam, 1031 KT, Netherlands
Deze avond voor kunstenaars, filmmakers, dichters en VR-nauten is een verkenning tot een andere benadering van VR. Een die mediumbewust is en dus ook de uiterste grenzen van dat medium wil verkennen. Een die voor het symbolische van dit alles niet blind is.
Blandine Joret (bestuurslid Vriza) zal een voordracht houden over de semiotiek van totale cinema, een concept van filmtheoreticus Andre Bazin.
Blandine Joret:
“André Bazin’s realism: “a recreation of the world in its own image.” The connection that he draws between the world and the image is in harmony with his mythical project for cinema, which argues that an imaginative myth of “total cinema” preceded its actual invention and thus moves beyond technological determinism.”

Artists' Film Screening @ Lagos Photo
2017-11-27 | African Artist Foundation, Lagos, Nigeria
At Lagos Photo 2017, VRIZA presents a program of artist films engaging with the representation of truth by cinematographic means. The screening program includes five short films by international visual artists crossing the fields of fiction and documentary. The films meditate on the nature of the image as well as on definitions of nature. They are experiments with forms of realism, animation, and storytelling. The artists sometimes use image materials found in archives and/or their own, recent digital recordings. In so doing, the short films touch upon the relation between image technology and human memory.
