These are the issues taken up by a large group of New Yorkers in Silver's soon-to-be-finished film in complete world *The definition of the term responsibility is: answerable (to another, for something), from the Latin responsus: 'to respond.' Starting with the word 'responsibility' leads quickly to the necessity for discourse. 11:00 am – 6 pm: The day's activities will include screenings, questions, and a chance to respond, as visitors will be asked to write and post answers to a series of questions, including those listed above. 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm: The evening's activity will include a preview screening of, and discussion around in complete world with a soon-to-be-disclosed moderator.

EXPLOITATION curated by Florian Wüst IMPAKT FESTIVAL Filmtheater 'Hoogt, Hoogt 4 & Theater Kikker, Ganzenmarkt 4, Utrecht Privacy issues, confrontational self-portraits, camera scrutiny and the internet as public diary Under the pressures of a highly individualized world, the engagement with the Self represents a never ending source for cultural production, from the literary diary of the 19th century to personal video clips on the internet that facilitate a new immediacy to make one's intimate life public. Against this background,"Self-confession vs. Exploitation" examines the ambivalent relationship between privacy and intrusion, the integrity of the subject and the discerning gaze of the camera. with Friedl Kubelka, Joyce Wieland, Andy Warhol, Warren Sonbert, George Kuchar, Michael Brynntrup, Lisa Steele, Sadie Benning, Isabelle Prim, Jozef Robakowski... http://www.impakt.nl !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Purchases can be made at the headquarters of the gallery (Lazaretska 9, Bratislava) or through the website www.evolutiondelart.org. with Ayreen Anastas, John Menick, Michael Rakowitz, Wolfgang Staehle, Giancarlo Norese, Mira Podmanicka, Roman Vasseur , Nina Hoechtl...

Februar 2007 Eine Kooperation mit der Ursula Blickle Stiftung und der Universität für Angewandte Kunst Wien. "It’s easy enough to locate a country physically, but how to locate it aesthetically, politically, intellectually or emotionally? If you believe in polls, 36% of Americans are worried about global warming and 63% are absolutely certain of the physical resurrection of Jesus Christ. On a more quantifiable level, 85% of Americans don’t own passports and 12.5% Americans are below the poverty line. Some of these trends are global – the assets of the richest 447 people on the planet equal the assets of the poorest 2.5 billion people, 52% of the world population." When I started putting together this program, I knew there was no way to ‘capture’ a balanced or complete picture of the United States. Instead I chose videos based on the way they reverberated with and expanded on recent events, moods and histories, jamming personal with political, inside and outside, a surface agitation with a deeper frenzy. Rather than expressing unity, they each in fact point to various breakdowns, whether within the image itself, or in the realms of individual or collective belief." "Als ich anfing, dieses Programm zusammenzustellen, wusste ich, dass es unmöglich ist, ein ausgewogenes oder vollständiges Bild der Vereinigten Staaten „fassen“ zu können. Stattdessen wählte ich die Videos danach aus, wie sie die dortigen jüngsten Ereignisse, Stimmungen und Geschichten reflektierten und diese weiter ausführten, mischte Persönliches mit Politischem, Innen und Außen, eine oberflächliche Unruhe mit einem tieferen Gefühl der Panik. Vielmehr als Geschlossenheit zu demonstrieren, weisen alle Videos die unterschiedlichsten Brüche auf - im Bild selbst oder im Bereich des individuellen oder kollektiven Glaubens."

I’m very pleased to announce the launch of the website: http://www.desiredescape.net an experiment in community building and storytelling. Andrea, the creator of the website, is the fictional heroine of my upcoming film project ‘desiredescape.net.’ She starts the website as a means of escaping her life in a conservative Upstate New York town. In her own words: “I want this to be a website for all of us who wish to escape some part of our lives (our job, famly, relationship, political or economic situation, city, country world), where we can share stories about our current lives, as well as our plans, hopes and strategies for our desired escape.” The stories Andrea receives will influence the trajectory of her story, and the images, sounds and videos uploaded to the site will be incorporated into the final film. So if you need to escape (or have successfully escaped already) please visit and contribute often! And if you’ve never wanted to escape, but are nevertheless curious about those of us who do, please visit too. Also, if you have any suggestions about how the site is functioning (or not) please let me know. We’re still ironing out the kinks, expanding usability and are actively looking for feedback. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
