This media arts residency focuses on exploring and researching analogue video systems as a realm of experimental potential. Instead of emphasizing the creation of new works, the program invites artists to engage with the distinctive characteristics of analogue video, embracing its tactile processes, material qualities, and inherent unpredictability. This residency provides a flexible framework for creative exploration, encouraging the Artist-in-residence to investigate the technical, aesthetic, and conceptual possibilities of analogue video. It provides an opportunity to deconstruct and reimagine the medium, uncovering its capacity to distort, fragment, and reshape perceptions of time, space, and reality. VP's analog video system is made to be flexible in routing, so that mixer ins / outs can be routed in a feedback loop or to other mixers, and to the monitors and computers for capture. The system will also accept input for cameras, legacy tape decks (VHS, Umatic, Beta), which are all available as well. Artists are welcome to bring their own equipment as well.

Do you have any previous experience with this technology?(Required)
