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.
Featuring new work by Zoë LeBrun, Ryan Hill & B.G-Osborne, please join us for the premiere of these gorgeous new works.
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.
Featuring new work by James Dixon, Ibrahim Shuaib, Natalie Baird and Toby Gillies, please join us for the premiere of these gorgeous new works.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE IS JUNE 16, 2024.
We are currently inviting submissions from artists based in Treaty 1 territory.
In 2022, Video Pool Media Arts Centre launched our first-ever Video Commission Residency (VCR). During the residency, VP commissioned 4 artists to create new works responding to the prompt of “channel surfing.” The artists selected were: Warren Chan (ON), Jaye Kovach (SK), Sarah Boo (ON), and pluetoe (MB) each of whom produced unique and clever perspectives on the theme. VP is pleased to present this program of their works, available to watch for free between March 21st – April 4th (2023)
