Video commission Residency Call for submissions

Video Commission Residency 2025- Call for Submissions

Video Pool Media Arts Centre is excited to announce the 3rd Video Commission Residency, VCR Vol.3: Temporal Landscapes. This residency supports the creation of new experimental screen-based works, inviting submissions from artists for a single-channel video responding to the theme of Temporal Landscapes.

For this edition, we encourage artists to explore the temporal representation of landscapes through the potential of digital media. Temporal Landscapes highlights the tension between time’s transient nature and the digital medium’s capacity to manipulate and distort temporal perception.

Mission Statement

Video Pool Media Arts Centre aims to inspire curiosity and creative expression through open exploration of technology in all media art forms, focusing on practices that are adventurous, independent, and explore niche approaches to art and technology. We strive to cultivate experimental artistic practices and accessibility to technology through presentation, production, distribution and education while also supporting the greater arts community through our programs, facilities and expertise.

VP houses the largest collection of prairie video art in Canada, presents work at the intersection of technology and art in our Poolside Gallery, and The Output, our A/V performance and rehearsal venue, provides new opportunities for performance-based work.

VP is Manitoba’s only artist-run centre dedicated to the exploration of technology-based art.

We are located on Treaty 1 Territory in  Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

Come visit us in the Artspace building, Unit 221 + 300, 100 Arthur St.
