1. Video as Urban Condition: how video shapes urban experience
The Video as Urban Condition "Video-pool" archive is a mobile collection of
moving images reflecting the mutability of video as it shifts between fact
and fiction, entertainment and persuasion, urban fantasy and reality-TV, art
and activism, surveillance and control.
The archive will be open to the public at Lentos Museum of Modern Art (in
Linz, Austria), 19 April-27 May 2007. The Video-pool installation will form
the environment and a constellation of points of reference for a series of
events on the themes "Public Space and Personal Media-politics", "Model
Cities, Wish Images and Playgrounds", "Voyeurism, (Self-)Control and TV".
Add your point of view!
We welcome your video contributions and compilations. Videos received before 19 April will take part in the Video-pool $1000 Prize Draw!

2. Two Merit Scholarships Available
Shaped Video: Working with Objects, Space and VideoCall for Applications: Two Merit Scholarships available for emerging or mid-career artists to take a
two-week course with artists E.G. Crichton and Susan Working at Anderson
Ranch Arts Center in Snowmass Village, Colorado. The course will take place
August 13-24, 2007.
These awards are designed to help artists interested in combining video with
objects and space. Students will learn about the technologies behind creating
embedded video works and video installation and will discuss a critical
context that informs these works. Scholarships include: Full tuition, lodging
and three meals a day for the duration of the course. Winning applicants must provide for their own travel and studio fees.
Concept: What happens when artists take the ephemeral medium of video and shape it within sculptural space? For over four decades artists have defied limitations of time and material through experiments with embedded monitors, shaped screens, and projections onto objects and/or within constructed spaces. In this workshop the investigation will continue with an emphasis on simple constructed shapes, altered found objects, planned camera work, and simple video editing. You may read a complete description online at www.andersonranch.org.

3. PARTICIPATE IN THE POCKET FILMS FESTIVAL !
June 8, 9, 10, 2007 in Paris, France
The 3rd edition of the POCKET FILMS FESTIVAL is opening it’s call for entries worldwide. Shorts and features, fiction, documentaries, clips, experimental films - all types of films, exclusively shot with a cellular telephone, are now being accepted.
The selected films will be shown during the POCKET FILMS FESTIVAL on June 8, 9, 10, 2007 at the Georges Pompidou Center - the largest center for contemporary arts in Europe.
In 2005, the Forum des images launched the first edition of the POCKET FILMS FESTIVAL, a major event devoted to films made exclusively with cellular telephones. Our goal was to explore and initiate a better understanding of the impact of this new audio-visual tool, the video camera, included in the latest generation of mobile telephones. The first two editions of the POCKET FILMS FESTIVAL explored the creative uses of this tool and offered the presentation of new works by French video and graphic artists, writers, filmmakers, students of art and film schools and the general public, in major movie theaters. The Festival received more than 1,000 films which were made exclusively for the Festival, 200 of which were selected by a jury and screened at the Forum des images and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, France. Many films have gone on to be shown in other international films festivals : Locarno, Melbourne, Rio de Janeiro, Kiev and at the International Critic’s Week, at the Festival de Cannes.
The Forum des images is a major cultural institution in Paris, dedicated to the exploration of the relations between cinema, technologies and society through screenings, workshops, and the organisation of films festivals. The Forum des images is also a major French film archive with Paris as its theme.
SEND US YOUR FILM SHOT EXCLUSIVELY WITH A CELLULAR TELEPHONE BEFORE MARCH 30, 2007.
