*Video Vortex #7, Yogyakarta, 18-21 July, 2011*
A satellite meeting of the Video Vortex network, in conjunction with
CELLSBUTTON #5: Institutional Cells – Yogyakarta International Media Art
Festival, 2011**
Sponsored by Ford Foundation and Goethe-Institut Indonesien
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 gathers
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.

*Seminar Outline *
+ Day 1, WED 20 JUL
1030 - 1300 Session 1 - Video as/in Art History (Moderator: David
Teh, N.U.S.)
Presenters: Ade Darmawan (ruangrupa) and Agung Hujatnikajennong (Institut
Teknologi Bandung and Selasar Sunaryo Art Space)
Since the rise of Indonesian contemporary art in the 1990s, two key shifts
have been identified. First, with the liberalisation of the public sphere
post-Reformasi, artists have changed their focus from the national political
drama to more personal and playful concerns. Second, an earlier,
regional-institutional patronage has given way to more muscular market
forces. Video has become a very conspicuous medium over this period. How
does it reflect, contribute to, or evade these broader movements? Are there
specifically ‘Indonesian’ ways of using the medium, or abusing it? Which are
the key artists, artworks or exhibitions to have anchored video in
Indonesian contemporary art? Is 'video art' a viable category, or is video
simply another tool in the 'post-medium' artist's toolbox?
1400 - 1600 Session 2 - Video Aesthetics (Moderator: Andreas
Treske, Yasar University)
Presenters: Aminuddin TH Siregar (ITB) and Thomas J. Berghuis (Sydney
University)
In international art discourse, video has been theorised from many
perspectives. Early on, its importance as a tool for social activism brought
an emphasis on the public sphere, its place in wider processes of media
democratisation. Formalist and conceptualist accounts, meanwhile – many
inspired by phenomenology – hailed a new, reflexive tool in studio practice,
with a special relationship to the body and performance. More recently,
video’s migration to the web has brought a renewed focus on the author
function (recombinatory strategies, mash-up, DIY, détournement and tactical
media). What are the best terms or theories for understanding video’s
aesthetics in Indonesia? Do we have the right vocabulary for a critical
discussion? Should we emphasise the social or the technical? Can film or
media theories be imported successfully, or should local ways of seeing lie
at the core of video aesthetics?

+ Day 2, THU 21 JUL
1030 - 1300 Session 3 - Alternative Histories of Video
(Moderator: Antariksa, and Respondent: Aryo Danusiri)
Presenters: Andang Kelana and Mahardhika Yudha (Forum Lenteng, Jakarta) and
Hafiz (ruangrupa and Forum Lenteng)
With the explosion of artistic, DIY, community and activist video in
Indonesia comes the urgent need for a locally informed media history.
Existing overviews, taking the lead from video’s histories elsewhere, tend
to privilege its relationship to broadcast and, later, to cable TV. This
approach has furnished important narratives of resistance to, and
infiltration of, state and then corporate media channels. But is this the
whole story? Have TVRI and MTV really defined video’s scope and potential?
What are the medium’s other industrial, artisanal or domestic contexts, and
how have they informed its development? How have they shaped video access,
video reception and video literacy?
1400 - 1600 Session 4 - Video Online: impact, effect,
affect
Moderator: TBA
Presenters: Ronny Agustinus (independent critic, Jakarta); Andrew Lowenthal
(Engage Media)
In Indonesia, as elsewhere, networked videos are making headlines. From
celebrity sex scandals to human rights abuses, their impact can be viral,
immediate and transnational. Which videos have made the greatest impact, and
how? What are the crucial factors in their production, distribution, or
reception? And how do the politics of the medium affect the politics of the
content? This panel will pursue online video beyond the hype, focusing on
specific, localised cases and contexts, asking what online videos do to the
people who make them and the people who watch them.
