The Death of Natural Language is an ascii animation of a plane crashing. The abstracted image mediated by ascii text parallels modern human communication; meaning is often lost or misinterpreted by the process. The music is miko by the beans. 
Milica Rakic (SB) „My name is Red” 2007 4:00 min Milica Rakić creates a new synthesis by combining the structure of meaning and the interpretation with traces of the past.

Ron Lambert (USA) Still City Slow 2008 5:33 min. Working mainly in video and sculpture, Ron Lambert investigates the intersection between psychology and the environment. Ron is currently an assistant professor at Watkins College of Art and Design in Nashville, Tennessee. "This piece is from a series of short videos I made during 2008 after moving from a very rural area to an urban one. While walking around the downtown area of Nashville, Tennessee, I started to get to know my new environment. I began to see the rub between older construction, newer construction and the dilemma of progress versus history. I find the city a facinating place where people can't avoid contact with others, and for better or worse, it is a place where people reveal the true character of how we relate to ourselves and our environment.

Tamás Komoróczky  (HU) Delusion or the Jump of the Lioness 2008 5:00 min.  I shooted the Delusion on the summer of 2008 in a park of Berlin with steadicam whereby the moving of the recording became light and flappy. I found the sounded text in a roman of Győző Határ. I saturated the space with different effects that alienate it from the park – as the park would be a screen behind it like a kind of beyond and fictional space. I took away the sound atmosphere too from the environment and I mixed with noises of the waiting room of an airport.

This piece explores activist key words that will function in the audience has a way to remember, transform on the inside the persons that read them and think about it as well after in the outside. With transformational activism, even small actions from the “inside out” can make a difference in the long run to create meaningful change in the world. This is explored on a light/shadow sculpt environment formed by letters/word that live in an utopist game area that transpose and became an example of real berserk web interaction documentation.
Harald Rettich Aka Rettnoise (D) Current 2008 4:11 min In several of his video works, rettnoise explores different urban spaces which he processes following the rules of the digital. This way, these urban spaces become visual pieces of information, codes of the virtual field, as if they would pass through a genetic modification. These codes are the vocabulary of rules giving structure to the composition. He performs the video material as a living surface, exploring textures and forms in the video signal, reaching an expressive abstraction which amplifies due to noisy sound

Nadja Marcin (USA) Loss of Hearing 2008 12:00 min. In "Loss of hearing" the scenery is solely introduced by the use of light and sound. As the narration is placed in a white cube environment, stereotypical plot lines are being stylized and uncovered by an ironical undertone. "Loss of hearing" comments with caricature, provocation and irony on the loss of sense and emotion in mass media productions. Behind that level of irony the video work reveals a deep-seated romanticism. 
Lemeh42 (IT) Study on Human Form and Humanity # 01 2008 2:00 min. This work has been first shot as a video performance on a theater stage, then it has been edited digitally.

Working with photography, video, and ideas of fragmented time and space Jeremy shows the contemporary structure of the Californian landscape and how he places himself within it. Get It, Got It, Gone is a video that shows the absurdity and beauty of attempting the impossible.  Once the impossible is reached it only lasts for a fleeting moment.  Then the struggle starts again and the cycle continues.  In this video the impossible is portrayed as an attempt to light a lighter outside the window of a moving vehicle.

Agricola de Cologne is a multidisciplinary media artist, director of shortfilms, New Media curator and founder & director of [NewMediaArtProjectNetwork]:||cologne – www.nmartproject.net , the experimental platform for art and New Media operating from Cologne/Germany.The house of tomorrow is the house of one's identity, it does not need to be a concrete house or building, but represents a secure and protected place where people can stand for what they are and represent, a human being. And this human may have many identities in different fields, the sexual identity represents only one among many others.
Sari Gink(HU) Book 2008 0:52 min. I cited from the roman of László Krasznahorkai (Hill to the North, Lake to the South, Roads to the West, River to the East). The object I propose to myself was the use of a clear-out form matching to the plot. Using an image-create technology – photogram – that works with grey-gradiational scale from black to white. The accentuated words from the citation are specially important nowadays when decreasingly we take less and less concrete tactile books – objects – having spatial and temporal extent: understanding-order-guide-observation-honour-confidence-clearness-tradition-repetition.

05:30 min.
Binary Language; A Computer Simulation, Lessons 1-3 is a peformative piece in which the artist recites phrases in binary code, or binary language. Zeros and Ones (binary) are the building blocks of all contemporary digital tools and technologies, providing the logic to everything from a digital clock to a high powered computer. The piece is modeled after an educational language video, in which the artist translates phrases from the english language into binary code. The piece looks a both the simplicity and complexity of digital technology which appears archaic and inefficient when simulated by a human being. The Google Project: Google Data 1 is a visual ensemble of the first 500 entries found on Google’s popular search engine upon searching for the artist's name, Jesus Aguilar. The video, taken directly off of the computer screen, is a continuous loop of text and sound. Issues of indexing, archiving and personal history are points of reference in the conception of this piece.
Alternate Narratives: Three Stories is a fictional construction of three separate narratives incorporating text and images found on the Internet upon searching for the artist's name, Jesus Aguilar. Inspired by the Many Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics, in which every possible outcome to every possible event takes place in its own 'history' or 'world', the piece offers 'alternate realities' to the life of the artist. The silent video of static images and text, taken directly off of the computer screen, is an uncannny account of the intertwined realities of Jesus Aguilar and his namesakes.
Ted Sonnenschein (D) Train Songs 2008 9:24 min.  Ted Sonnenschein is a filmmaker/photographer who works within the confines of public transportation. After spending some years making a portrait of the New York subway system, he is currently working in Berlin where he is filming the city as it appears and develops through the windows of the train.

 In Hitchhiker, a greyish winter light, a hitchhiking girl stands on the side of an isolated road. She is getting ready full of hope in hearing the sound of a motor. In Alice in Wonderland in a forest, a girl is walking with eyes tighten. Walking in blind, she just tries to go ahead without falling in mass of brambles. Each moment takes her to another confrontation to the next step.
Vanina Topić (HRV) I Am Playing Water 2009 3:00 min.
Frédéric Dumond (FR) Vidéolettre #7 / videolével #2 (videoletter #7) 2008 4:00 min. In his work, Frédéric Dumond is concerned with how text and language are given meaning in what is called the ’information age’. Thus, in order to help us notice the emergence of a text into everyday use, he not only explores the political and social context from which it emerges but presents language as an ’event’: the text, or the word, as an ’experiment’
Kata Tesch (HU) Moon’s Journey 2007 1:00 min. In the Moon’s Journey project I reconsidered the rules of the perspective and I developed exactly the inverse of a general stimulus. The result drived to a very strong, psychedelic experience wherein the spectator feels like the moon - which seems like a static point for the traveller - becoming a part of the landscape.


Wei-Ming Ho (TW) Run Nanu Run 2008 6:00 min. The images of this film are not only the powerful elements which can scatter or transfer the violence of the police, but also bring us the strong visual effects to proceed with the conversation between the images and the city environment, during the march, the flashing images become the power to release the wounded spirits.
Hui Mo Yiu (CHN) A Play of Control 2007 8:00 min. See how I can play with the body. It is an experiment of controlling a body to play with another body, through the rearrangement of the body to reconstruct a non-existing dance.
Matthew Mackisack (UK) The Turning 2008 10:00 min. The Turning' examines the imaginative processes invoked in the church and the cinema, on the premis that any emancipatory project has to examine the structures or apparati that shape the subject's imaginal work.
Silvia Giambrone (D) Eredità (Heritage) 2008 10:00 min. Aimed at exploring the strong and intense relation between control and desire, this performative action wants to challenge the practice of seduction, as a patriarchal way of controlling the body.
Duro Toomato (NL) Sleeper 2008 5:00 min.
Sam Holden (UK) 70 Still Frames and 5 Minutes 50 Seconds of Video 2008 5:50 min. Using a digital SLR, image capture software and a hidden video camera ’70 Still Frames and 5 Minutes and 50 Seconds of Video’ highlights how much we simply don’t see when encountering someone’s photographic reproduction and underlines how problematic photography can be as a representative medium.
Bruno Bresani (ES) Saudades (Miss) 2006 1:00 min. Two cities, Sao Paulo-Shanghai, the despair of the chaos, lights on the progress of decay.
Uma Ray (IN) Padapadma (The Lotus Feet) 2009 3:00 min. The idea behind this video is to compare the two stages in my life, as in any other woman’s life. Looking back to the days as a girl, with the playful naiveté, to that of an unknown beauty of a woman shrouded in a veil….

Richard O’ Sullivan (UK) Palimpsest 2007 8:10 min. Palimpsest offers a visual representation of the industrial exploitation of the natural world. The camera moves through the rock and the trees like a machine, fragmenting the natural material into freeze-frames, or dissolving it into a vague mass or abstract stream. The rapid motion and jarring editing gives the viewer a visceral experience of the violence of such a process. 
József Bob (RO) 2009 4:50 min. "This street performance which camouflaged a filmshooting was made on the 2d of March 2008 on the Boulevard of our civic town without any authority permission. I was interested in the real and fictional space mapping in the senses. Doubling the real space creates the location of the action. The linearity of the real timesections becomes a simultan time in the filmnarration. I tried to expand the possibility-field of the raw material with a minimal intervention. Hereby a looking-away and an eyes-meeting version came off. Xenia must had marched down twice between the passers-by, cars and birds with her steamy potato soup in the gentle snow-drizzling."
Carlo Sansolo (BR) Substancialidade e metodo (Substanciality and method) 2009 10:00 min.
Carlo Sansolo is video artist, curator of electronic art and musician.
Luigi Rizzo (IT)  Kloto 2007 2:38 min. I found a vinyl with a blind side, no sound was recorded on the b-side. It was a paradox, a record with no sound. I decided to put it in front of a window so the sounds of the streets become its sound.
The work reflects about the relation between what we see and what we hear. Sometime, as in this specific case, the relation is not so obvious.
Alexander Schikowski (HU) Nem magyar ember (Not a true Hungarian) 2008 1:43 min. This work is a reaction to social hate which is experienced in the course of the gay pride parade. The judge adjudged in the case of the one-year-ago incident that the egg-tossing is a free demonstration of the opinion. This video work reflects on the agressivity in the society which seems like the only possible reaction to alterity.

claudia and paul is an experiment to discover what artistic event would occur if we could see all the activity around us in the next couple of minutes juxtaposed. How would it affect our concept of alterity/identity? Perhaps our concept of ourselves is only possible by seeing our actions in time? Would our actions appear more meaningful? Would a choreography suddenly emerge? Is the motion around us better observed by extending our memory into the past and future simultaneously? On the roof  shows that each motion, whether it is made by human, animal, object, light or sound, is connected and extended by other motions to compose a phrase, a sentence of great artistic interest. Each movement by itself is meaningless, boring, cliched. But seen as one component of a larger artistic phenomenon, it becomes important, meaningful. A doll's house is...... is a work which explores the artistic connection between movement that occurs in an apartment building, other units in that building and the exterior world. It shows that each motion, whether it is made by human, animal, object, light or sound, is connected and extended by other motions to compose a phrase, a sentence of great artistic interest. 
Szilvia Takács (HU) 18 nap Finnországban (18 Days in Finnland) 2008 5:34 min. The base of the video was made on the summer of 2006 during a residency program. I was shooting my bed and a part of my room through 18 days. I was taking pictures spontaneously in different time and uncalculated period because I wanted to observe the cyclicness and continuity of the activities associating with bed.

Júlia Vécsei (HU) Azonos mértékkel (With equal measure) 2008
Léna Kútvölgyi (HU) I’m an englishman in Budapest I. 2009 6:24 min. In her movies Léna Kútvölgyi aspires with amazing solution to the manipulation of the motion picture and the interaction of the audience in her audiovisual installations. Her works are tipical of crossing the genre border and their immediate reinterpretation slides the mental conception to an ironic visual world with a light camouflage gesture. "I'm an englishmen in Budapest I." is the first part of a trilogy, an interview, what was happened and happening all the time again and again, a real story from Budapest. This visual interview-movie named VJ started with a twist because it shows the defined history of the racism in the hungarian public life like a fiction.


Sugár János (HU) Mute 2008 10:20 min. “Maybe the most unique button on a TV remote control is the mute. The audio-visual dramaturgy is so well designed for perceptional overkill that we can understand the basic content just from the images. The staged debates of a country’s top political contenders are in the focus of public attention: every little detail or aspect is precisely analyzed beforehand – and after. An unexpected form of criticism of the institutional system appears.” Johan Sjerpstra
