In January 2018 SCOTTY is hosting a screening of experimental films and videos by artists who are expanding the boundaries of the medium through their artistic research, both in regards to content and to the medium itself. After sunset the videos will be shown in the shop window of the artist run gallery at Oranienstraße 46.
The selected video works reflect visions of either present or future times and suggest new forms of representation. While the depicted figures, objects and gestures are familiar to us through its use in the media, the enormity of what is shown becomes apparent only through the artistic interventions, which put (each in their own way) our perception of reality to the test.
However, many more questions are to be asked in this context, e.g.: To whom belongs this new reality? What kind of intuitive capabilities does it possess? And what kind of politics is it pursuing?
