"THE UNSTITUTE;
these senseless paralinguistic corridors shift from one possible connector to the next in a meaningless, chaotic fashion; this road leads anywhere but to its end.[/text]

This month at The Unstitute…

THE_PROJECTION_ROOM:

Jenny Vogel
The Art of Forgetting

screening from_15/07/15_to_15/08/15

This month The Unstitute is proud to present another outstanding video from Jenny Vogel, who featured earlier in the year over in [dis]Corporate Bodies. Vogel's themes develop subtly though the interplay of word, tone and pixel towards a poetics of digital archaeology.

"My work explores subjective themes as they are experienced in the age of information. I examine the anxiety of alienation, the desires of communication and a sense of be-longing in a virtual world. These traits, attributed to Romanticism, are dealt with in my work through the lenses of contemporary communication technology, the media and historical preconceptions."

With over 2,000 online visitors every month, The Projection Room at The Unstitute offers a virtual environment for creative experiments and self-empowerment over archaic creative institutions. See who has been selected this month, and find out more about their creative practice. Consider applying to the Participation programme at The Unstitute.

[dis]CORPORATE_BODIES_8

Head Over Heels and Away
an Evolving [an]Archive
_ongoing_growth_

The 8th edition of [dis]Corporate Bodies takes its point of departure from Deleuze and Guattari; “head over heels and away” - referring to modes of escape in ‘Kafka- Toward a Minor Literature’.

The Unstitute has assembled a group of videos that explore modes of appropriation, re-territorialisation of various archetypes, formal content and context in various urban and digitised environments. The spotlight is on nomadic figures: isolated, roughly cut out and liberated from their routine environments and concerns, these subject-bodies are scrambled and reconstructed into expression-machines and manouvered into actions in new digitized spaces.

Featuring works by Francesca Fini (IT), Kayle Karbowski (US), Catherine Biocca (NL), Mena El Shazly (EG), Oscar David Alvarez (US) and Manuel Granados (SP)

THE_CUTTING_ROOM:

Soft Time
by The Unstitute
_temporary_/_superficial_

'Soft Time' is a video for no good reason: just like poor old Jack Pudding. He just went to pieces for no good reason. Poor old feller.

Trapped in the Daliesque diner suspiciously named 'Cafe Reality' on the Old Kent Road (London,) an odd couple drown their sorrows of the increasing entropy creeping into their local neighbourhood, deep inside of a good old cup of tea. Hard physics meets utter tedium.
