****Indonesia has seen an explosion of video practices and organizations
since the arrival of affordable platforms for production and distribution.
To date, much vital work has been done – in ground-up networks devoted to
art and digital culture, social activism and participatory media – to survey
this diverse activity, its growing purchase on the public sphere, and the
challenges faced. But as DV is absorbed into the mainstream media-scape,
what are the crucial technical, social and aesthetic strategies for a
politics of video going forward? Which are the exemplary videos,
video-makers, and organizations, and why? And what histories have shaped the
medium, that have yet to be written into the discussion? This event will
gather key thinkers from video’s diverse constituencies in Indonesia, and
innovative practitioners from abroad, for exchange and focused discussion
that will take the discourse on video in Indonesia beyond overviews.


*EVENT OUTLINE*
 *
