THE FESTIVAL THEME
No Commercial value !
read full text at: http://videomedeja.org/text/no-commercial-value

Parcels labeled like this or similarly, carry, among other contents, our video works and films to be viewed by the Festival audience. Sending parcels online has become very common for speed and convenience, if not reliability. It is only up to your bandwidth how much data you can download, legally or otherwise. I wouldn’t go into the recurring issues of censorship or copyright (they come back to life like characters in horror movies). Whether the labelling is correct or not, the declared Zero value of a film or video puts their authors into the group of romantic-idealist losers, incapable of making money and forever maintained, handicapped from the outset by the fact that their brain-child is not really wanted in the wide world of trade policy. I bet there is no film maker who would object to a new, less deprecating label without the Zero value attached to a possible master-piece!?! Unlike labels on bottles of sugar-free carbonated water (stuffed with deadly sweeteners). Here are some recommendations for labelling parcels with video or film contents:

1. C’est Ne Pas Une Pipe
2. Dangerous Works of Art!
3. Beware of The Artist!
4. Caution, Art!
5. Unbreakable!!!!
6. All Four Sides Up (marked with arrows)
7.Etc.

The correct label would read: Value-Unknown!

subject: POP Video
What is a popular video today?
The title is so abundant in associations that it can direct one’s thoughts to at least two directions at the same time: one is the music video production, video clips of famous performers; the other is the artistic direction whose most prominent representative is certainly Andy Warhol. However, the cruel non-artistic reality responds to the technological revolution differently from the way the artists such as Nam June Palk or Warhol would. Dominant aspects of popular video today are still the long lasting phenomena categorized as kitsch and pulp. Yet, over time a new hypertrophied tide wave of human transgression has emerged, imposing the urge that it need be recorded at any cost. We have seen numerous sensations, wars, death, and bizarre events, causing in audience unquenchable thirst, which by an extension has led to the continuation of the search for new sources. In order to obtain them, it is no longer sufficient to wait patiently for thy neighbor to fall, but the event needs to be provoked and made real, as opposed to its being accidental or performed. If the concept of recorded bizarreness was realized as a simulacrum, we would be dealing with amateur video, which unfortunately is not the case. Criminal subjects - independent video makers - are not alienated strangers whose deviations come as a result of their not having been loved or having been abused in childhood. Quite the opposite, in accord with general circumstances (and by this I mean primarily the responsibility of the sensationalism-hungry media), a common passer-by with a camera in his cell phone, regardless of the resolution, turns into an urban headhunter or a hunter for the trophies alike... read more here: http://videomedeja.org/text/pop-video
