VideoDictionary
Video Art
The aim of this project was to create a collection of videos, each less than a minute in length, that define different words in the dictionary. It reflected on the relationship between objects and words, and the ability of moving images to construct meaning.
The videos are made by a wide range of video artists from different countries and languages who use video in their work. The videos contain no words either in the images or on the soundtrack, so the dictionary is available to speakers of all languages. However, English will be the primary language for classifying and ordering the entries.
There have been many presentations in different institutions, each of which has produced several videos, until we have collected 85 works/words.
It was presented at: Casco Gallery (The Netherlands), Impakt Festival (The Netherlands), La Casa Encendida (Spain), Loop Festival (Spain), Centro de arte Santa Mónica (Spain), Island Film and Video Festival (UK), Image Forum Festival (Japan), Caixaforum (Spain).
