VP is pleased to announce the one-night-only public presentation Along the Red River on my Broken TV by Orima Bendisse, recipient of the 2026 Scott Leroux Fund for Media Arts Exploration.
Orima’s proposal for the residency centred on his longstanding interest in analog audio/video and the unique qualities it offers over digital image-making. As he describes it, analog A/V allows an image to be read slowly, frame by frame, in a way that digital cannot replicate; where digital is either there or not, analog can be split, stretched, and scrolled through with a different kind of physical feeling.
Attrition describes a condition shaped by sustained contact and duration, in images, in materials, in environments. Form and meaning change through processes that accumulate over time.
For this edition, artists are encouraged to consider how images and environments are worn down through use. Attention can move between the material image and the conditions that shape it. Surfaces erode. Signals weaken. Memory distorts. Landscapes, both physical and digital, carry traces of prolonged stress, circulation, and extraction.

VP is excited to announce that Thomas Toews, Paul Gubernachuk, Shivanya Ra, Leaf Pankratz & Mystery Byrd are the recipients of the Access AV Residency Recipients for 2026!
In keeping with the spirit of the Scott Leroux fund’s focus on exploration and research, VP’s Access AV Residency provides up to five artists with 60 hours of self-directed access to the analog-focused Adventure Lab. This program expands our commitment to research, experimentation, and sustained engagement with technologies, prioritizing process driven exploration over the production of finished works.
It is our pleasure to announce Orima Bendisse as the 2025 recipient of the Scott Leroux Fund for Media Arts Exploration (SLFMAE). In memory of Scott Leroux and supported by the Leroux family, the SLFMAE is an annual, month-long residency focused on the research and exploration of a specific technology and related aesthetic approaches.
