In a school trip to the Cloister of Collegno, the biggest italian Insane Asylum closed in 1978, a class of teenagers visit the spaces as if they had been turned into a museum. Through the auxiliary help of an audio guide of apparently non-sense indications, the students shape a museum path which only exists around their steps.

Giulio Squillacciotti (Rome, Italy 19829. Artist, film-maker and researcher lives and works in Maastricht (NL). He is 2018/2019 Van Eyck Academie Residency Fellow and was part of the Dutch Pavilion at the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale. Studied Medieval Art History in Barcelona and Rome, he later owned a MA hons in Visual Arts from the Venice University of Architecture IUAV. His work is mainly oriented on storytelling, cultural apexes and the way traditions re-shape in new contexts. His research merges together fiction and historical facts. Using film, documentary, sound and set design, Squillacciotti produces research-based investigations that revisits history, crafting new stories from subjective perspectives, storytelling, religion and popular culture.

A woman wanders around the 19th floor of a building, from an anonymous industrialized city. She has been told, through a series of cryptic indications, how to paint an imaginary landscape where to meet with the author of those letters. The geographical and physical distance with the person who is writing to her, can be reduced only through a methodic work of imagination and detach from what is surrounding her. The chance of traveling from a room, by seeing with eyes closed, to a place that exists only in both their minds. The difficult task is here expressed by the contradictory indications he gives her, as an explicit giving of what is a long distance communication with its time lapses. The strength to disclose the hitch can only be found in the accurate recollection of memories she has of their real encounters, once happened, far in time, but far, from where they both came.

Giulio Squillacciotti (Rome, Italy 1982) studied Medieval Art History in Barcelona and Rome, where he got his BA from Sapienza University. He earned a Master?s Degree (hons) in Visual Arts from the School of Architecture in Venice in 2009, where he studied Philosophy, Semiotics and Anthropology. Once completed his studies he won, again in Venice, a one year residency at the Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation with the Ateliers Program. Never trained as an artist, neither a film maker, his work is mainly oriented on storytelling and cultural apexes and their possible reinvention in different contexts. He deals with the idea of tradition and the fictitious outlets of it, all spread through a system of layered meanings, which formally goes from film to documentary, from installation to live performing and talks. His works and talks have been shown and heard in New York and Boston (USA), Den Bosch (NL), Paris and Grenoble (FR), Istanbul (TR), Murcia (Manifesta 8, ES), Prague (CZ), Teheran (IR), Weimar (D); in Italy in Rome, Milan, Turin, Venice and Verona. He recently finished the editing of a feature documentary film (RMHC) on the punk/hardcore scene in Rome from the 80s and 90s.

PROGRAMME est l`aboutissement d`un projet basé sur l`hôpital de la Salpêtrière à Paris à l`initiative de l`artiste Richard Squires en 2003 : un travail de vidéo hybride qui alterne documentaire, dramatisation et essais sporadiques de communication hypnotique. A la fin du 18ième siècle, La Salpêtrière était le théâtre des ?leçons du mardi? du Docteur Charcot, des démonstrations dramatiques de l`hystérie salpêtrienne avec la participation des « patients vedettes » tels que Blanche Wittman. PROGRAMME explore les aspects de la pratique du neurologue qui impliquent manipulation, connivence ou simulation et réexamine l`histoire de la Salpêtrière en tant qu`institution de contrôle social pendant l`ancien régime. Entretiens avec historiens, reconstitutions fictionnelles, performances cataleptiques et un narrateur syphilitique se juxtaposent pour dépeindre un récit hystérique qui somme toute dévoile sa propre construction. Avec Véronique Leroux-Hugon (conservateur, Bibliothéque Charcot), Mary Bosworth, Thirza Vallois, Alexis Terry et Nick Ewans.

Dans son HLM sur la Nationale 3, Edouard Mouradian, retraité et intraitable, ne supporte plus les vacheries du quotidien. Mais comment impunément étriper la fliquette qui verbalise, exploser à la grenade le voisin qui râle pour rien ou trucider le jeune gars qui arrache le sac de votre femme ? Edouard Mouradian en rêve beaucoup et à fond…

Enregistré en France et en Allemagne, "CARCASSES OF ALL KINDS" est un enregistrement sauvage d'une discussion avec ma mère avant qu'il ne soit trop tard. Ma mère, malade, me racontait notre premier retour en Bosnie-Herzégovine, l'année qui a suivi la fin de la guerre. Mais cette pièce ne traite pas tant de la guerre que de fragilité, de mémoires, cicatrices et de départs. Voix et mots utilisé comme matériel sculptural, découpés, montés et mélangés à d'autres sons enregistrés. Ceux ci proviennent d’enregistrements réalisés dans le service de cancérologie du centre hospitalier d'Argenteuil, de frottement de vêtements, de découpe de verre et de métal, de martelage, d’une imprimante industrielle et de chants. Chaque été, ma mère avait l'habitude de couper de la lavande dans son jardin et de la placer dans des bas usagés. En triant ses vêtrements après sa mort, je les ai tous rassemblé un même sac. La vidéo est une plongée dans ce sac.

Un numéro d'agence de media-exorcisme dans lequel l'imprévisibilité fonctionne comme la carte de développement. Une oeuvre qui challenge le comportement post- spéculatif ou les rôles et les personnages sont prédéterminés dans un script pré-écrit. C est une recherche de risque, des chances, de grands mouvement et des situation personnifiées, les réactions directs et une action continuelle. Le choix de la dramaturgie est une extraction de la pensée d'Aristote et d?Hollywood, ou l'essence de l'action et de la composition est toujours conduit par la gène et le conflit, planté dans l'histoire pré-écrite avec les personnages impliqués. La situation est Brechtienne, ou le film illustre ses illusions et à ce moment devient un effet de narration aliéné. Il n?y a qu'une règle, contrôler le système entier, être l'image intérieure et le cadre extérieur. Il n'y a qu'une pièce, la porte est fermée, vous devriez être en sécurité. NOUS, sanglés dans le système de la totalité informative, ceci est devenu un acte de formalité.

The Afternoon Knows What the Morning Never Suspected. It is a 3-channel 22-minute work that opens with a brief history of the Vietnam War, assembled from historical documents and footage, and then proceeds to detail Canada's complicity in the conflict, drawing attention to the massive profit that Canadian companies made during this time. The work also references the American draft dodgers who settled in Canada in the late 1960s, creating a context for the connection to today with a mesmerizing drive down Yonge Street in 2017. It is an interesting time to re-examine Canada's self-view in relation to the Vietnam War: yes we took in the draft dodgers (the work makes ample reference to this) but we also profited from the war (in spite of the fact that these profits were strictly against our own laws). The work concludes with the on-screen presence of our two performers, each telling the other's life story: one a first generation Canadian, the child of a Serbian/Croatian marriage; the other born in Canada to Vietnamese immigrant parents.

RE-ANIMATED explores the intersections of extinction, preservation of immortality. It is a re-imagining of ornithologist Douglas H. Pratt’s memories of the now extinct Kaua’i ???? bird, as told to director Jakob Kudsk Steensen. In the work, a vast virtual landscape based on Kaua’i unfolds and transforms into a photorealistic new world for people to explore. 3D-scanned organic material sourced from both field work and the American Museum of Natural History, as well as real archival audio are all remixed together, alongside algorithmic music composed by Michael Riesman, Musical Director for the Philip Glass Ensemble. Plants, moss, and insects respond to the pulse of music generated in real-time, and the audience’s breath and voice organically impact the virtual atmosphere through the VR headset. As a slow-moving, poetic virtual environment, RE-ANIMATED ultimately investigates how we relate to nature irrevocably altered by human activity. It provokes fresh perspectives on our ecological future, which may become unbound by the physical conditions governing our present reality.

Jakob Kudsk Steensen (b. 1987) is a Danish artist based in New York concerned with how imagination, technology and ecology intertwine. His works range from immersive VR ecosystems to mixed reality installations bridging physical and digital worlds, which invite audiences to enter new ecological realities. He collaborates with NGO’s, residencies, scientists and artists from different fields and ventures on excursions where he collects organic material, which is digitised and converted into digital worlds with 3D scanners, photogrammetry, satellite data and computer game software. Inspired by ecology-oriented science fiction and conversations with biologists and ethnographers, his projects are ultimately virtual simulations populated by mythical beings existing in radical ecological scenarios. Kudsk Steensen has exhibited internationally at the 5th Trondheim Biennale for Art and Technology; the Carnegie Museum of Art; Serpentine Augmented Architecture, Serpentine Galleries; Jepson Center for the Arts; Time Square Midnight Moment; MAXXI Rome; FRIEZE London; Podium, and Ok Corral. He was shortlisted for the Future Generation Art Prize 2019, and as part of the awards program, he was invited to create and exhibit new installations of RE-ANIMATED (2017-18) in Kiev and the Venice Biennale. He has received awards from the Danish Arts Foundation, The Augustinus Foundation, the Lumen Arts Prize, The International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, Games for Change, the Lumiere Foundation, The Telly Awards, and Cinequest Festival. His work has shown at Sundance, TriBeCa and Cannes among other film festivals. Steensen is an alumni of NEW INC, a technology and culture incubator by The NEW MUSEUM, in NYC.

I created this work for Wola Museum in Warsaw. I was inspired by anonymous documentary photograph probably from 50` that puzzled me as very contemporary and unbelievably well staged as for a snapshot. I was thinking a lot about how language of “reality” changes over time and how it can be easily influenced reinterpreted. And then I relied that reenactments are very bodily reinterpretation of images, that they make individual bodies to be mediums of transformation meanings; and I realised that their growing popularity and superficial innocence frightens me. I decided to reenact this photograph I came across and asked members of historical re-enactment groups to do it. Later I also wrote accompanying essay in which I have put into words my interest in language of documentary in contemporary art

The Big Crash VR is a nonlinear immersive virtual reality artpiece based on data mined from real estate sites. The audience experience it either on an Oculus Quest headset within an exhibition context or online with a desktop browser or the one within a VR device. This piece is part of Malte Steiner's art project The Big Crash. The thematic departure point is the instability of the real estate market as a consequence of extreme gentrification. Something that is actively taking place in all bigger cities around the globe. There is a pending ‘big bubble crash’ awaiting as a consequence of this and the piece deals with the growing instability this movement creates and its effects on society. The VR world is build with graphical artifacts derived from real estate ads from Berlin with a custom software. Images from these ads are segmented into objects by a Machine Learning algorithm and used to create a surreal architecture in the 3D environment. Sound based on the data from the prices and square meters over a span of several months provides an additional layer.

La vidéo MONOLOGUE rassemble des photographies individuelles et apparaît comme un flip-book en mouvement. On peut y voir le reflet de l'auteur dans la fenêtre d'un appartement. Les photographies ont été prises sans pied, d'où une impression d'agitation de la photo-film. L'accompagnement musical est un air de guitare sèche en boucle. Au milieu de la vidéo interviennent les sons d'un code morse. Simultanément, l'image vidéo se colore en rouge. La traduction du code morse est le mot M-O-N-O-L-O-G-U-E. Ensuite l'image disparaît.

Je suis né le 4 février 1959 à Oberhausen dans le Rhineland, où j'ai grandi. C'est là que j'ai effectué toute ma scolarité de 1965 à 1978, année de mon baccalauréat.

En 1979, j'ai entamé des études de latin et de géographie que j'ai arrêtées en 1980 pour étudier à l'Académie des Arts de Dusseldorf. J'ai étudié la sculpture auprès des professeurs Norbert Kriche et David Rabinovitch. En 1985, j'ai reçu le prix du meilleur élève. En 1990, j'ai terminé mes études. Depuis lors, je vis et travaille à Dusseldorf. En 1997, j'ai travaillé sur ma première vidéo-performance, toujours en lien avec la création de bruits et de sons. En 2004, j'ai fait la connaissance du duo d'Essen "Interzone perceptible", avec qui j'ai monté un projet vidéo sur la musique du compositeur américain Jeff Kowalkovski. Intitulée "Westbeth", cette œuvre a été exposée au Van Abbemuseum à Eindhoven (Pays-Bas) en avril et au cinéma Eulenspiegel à Essen en juin 2005.

?Pledge? est un morceau de bande qui a été trouvé. Il a été créé à partir d?une collection de documentaires obscurs qui datent de la période de la guerre du Vietnam. La matière est malheureusement intemporelle et nous fournit un moyen abstrait de réfléchir sur la guerre et, on l?espère, la paix.

"The Garden" is a reflection on climate change. It is created from found, recycled film footage and is presented in three parts. "I work almost exclusively with found footage (educational and industrial films, and home movies). Once I have appropriated the footage I practice the art of montage with great pleasure by colliding disparate images, looping clips and manipulating time. Such techniques accentuate the gestures and quotidian rhythms of my subjects distilling the essence of a time, place or idea. Although a narrative is never explicit one may be implied."

Ann Steuernagel is an experimental video and sound artist. Her work has been presented throughout the United States and in Canada, Mexico, and Europe.

In this film Imogen Stidworthy interweaves standard and subverted English (backslang) with tropes of class and race, trade and desire in the hidden backwaters and idealised forms of the voice. Backslang developed as a linguistic disguise to protect speakers, especially from the ears of the law. Liverpool slang has absorbed fragments from the language streams of global trade, passing through the docks: Spanish, Dutch, Yiddish, Chinese and African languages. Like all languages Backslang is also a space of identification, spoken proudly. It could be seen as a sign of economic and social conditions and as a form of resistance ? a necessity, or a possibility for different social paradigms. In Barrabackslarrabang, the voice criss-crosses social borders to reflect the mirroring of structures and desires through ostensibly opposing spaces of language, legality and culture. The work continues Stidworthy?s ongoing concern with the social landscape of the voice, its space and borders.

Imogen Stidworthy is a British multimedia artist based in Liverpool. She has exhibited at documenta 12 and most recently her work has been shown at the Thessaloniki Biennale (2007), Shanghai Biennale (2006), ?Be What You Want but Stay Where You Are? at Witte de With, Rotterdam (2005) and ?Governmentality? at Miami Art Central (2004). Recent solo shows include ?Get Here? at Galerie Hohenlohe, Vienna (2006), ?Dummy? at FRAC Bourgogne, Dijon (2005) and ?Audio Cab?, a temporary public art work installed in taxi cabs in Luton (2005). In 2004, Stidworthy was shortlisted for the Beck's Futures prize, for a video work featuring Cilla Black impersonators. In 1996 she won the Dutch Prix de Rome.[citation needed] Stidworthy is a tutor at Piet Zwart Institute, Rotterdam and an Advising Researcher at the Jan van Eyck Akademie, Maastricht.
