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 <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">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.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"></font>
