Simple Present - Future Perfect - M.A.P. RUNNER UP

[ 05:00 ]
Runner Up in the Audience Award category of the Metropolis Art Prize 2009.

The camera slowly moves in the course of time describing, in a Magritte way, several heterogeneous urban landscapes. The double narrative register allows an accurate description of the environment and its temporal evolution. The gaze is wondering about the metropolis destiny.

Artist: Davide Pepe.

The winning videos in the Metropolis Art Prize 2009 will be screened on the giant jumbotron monitors in Times Square, New York, on DECEMBER 17 2009. The event is open to the public, so if you're in the area, come along!

PAM: A Ramble with Time
A Ramble with Time chronicles the adventures of Paul Desborough, time traveller as he sets out to understand the mysterious concept of "infinity". Using everyday plastic bags as a vehicle to travel interdimensionally, he must battle against the evil time thief and time keepers who are on a quest to possess the pagan manifestation of infinity itself as described in a simple ball of thread. What he discovers along the way is truly surprising. Filmed in Berlin in 2009. Directed and edited by Shiva Lynn Burgos.

This video forms part of A Light at the End of the Tunnel, an epic video art trilogy about the human condition which includes seminal works by 30 international emerging artists, and was curated by Perpetual Art Machine (www.perpetualartmachine.com).

The show debuted at Scope Basel 2010 (June 15 - 19, Kaserne), while premiering simultaneously on Babelgum.

Last Kodachrome 40 for a Nizo S800 - M.A.P. RUNNER...
Runner Up in the Audience Award category of the Metropolis Art Prize 2009.

Nature has been razed, our gaze lose in a horizon melted between earth and sky; then it pauses, hot, in front of the mirror. A last ray flares before the darkness: and the black of the present lights up the old impressions, fragments of a past time to hypothesise the future.

Artist: Davide Pepe.

PAM: Broken Windows
Broken Windows consists of the last footage shot with a digital camcorder - these are the dying gasps of the camera. On one level, the piece might serve as a de-mystification of the digital image itself; the degradation of the image broadly implies the processes by which the real world is interpreted as video. Video’s constitution of the world as image is laid bare, and it is disconcerting to see the torturous decay of the image as the camera fights to maintain its simulation of the world. On another level, however, the piece implies the impossible mystery of most technology for most viewers. The functioning of the camera, evident in the image only when it fails as here, is something which most of us can’t - or don’t want to - understand. We comprehend technology so little, that we must engage with it on a purely aesthetic level as a source of magic or wonder, as we do here.

Artist: Richard O'Sullivan.
