'Propia Copia.' ZEMOS 98 collective.
This video program brings together some works by the ZEMOS98 collective, works that treat aesthetics, the limits and critical possibilities of appropriationism, and of the remix and of the art of live video. It would seem that these projects work like little content-motors, turning around the idea of recycling, and of going 'back to the beginning,' ideas that the visual culture of the 21st century needs. Through different positions, different critiques, poetics, and disclosures, the ZEMOS98 collective remixes their own audiovisual journey through mass media. ZEMOS 98 would like to say: NICE TO MIX YOU!! (note: Propia Copia was also an initiative by Côclea, and 1998 the concept was revised by the author in various phases of its creation)
ZEMOS98 is an international collective for cultural creation and production that has been developing projects from its base in Seville since 1995. It is made up of a team of "communicologists" and "technologists" who work with sound and image and inhabit the Internet as a just another new space for communication, learning and creation. They are responsible for putting together the annual ZEMOS98 Audiovisual festival, which has become an essential event for those wishing to understand contemporary audiovisual culture. Participating projects and artists have included DJ Spooky, Eclectic Method, Peter Greenaway, Coldcut, Pierre Bastien, Olia Lialina, Geert Lovink, The Light Surgeons, and Wu Ming, among many others. But ZEMOS98 cannot be reduced to a video festival, since the group is also publishing essays, organizing exhibitions, producing and/or directing documentaries, etc. They engages mainly in audiovisual activities which they regard as a tool for a possible education and re-education opposed to the one offered by the media and global culture.
