DETERMINATION (4)
Hans Op de BeeckThis video image is projected life-size on a wall. It’s an eight-minute, real-time recording, appearing on a white surface, then disappearing and repeating itself without end; very important to realise: this is not a loop. We are confronted heads on with a family (a man, a woman, 2 little children) running towards us, but on the spot, without actually moving closer...
AMERICA'S ARMY
Jos De GruyterAs the video ‘America’s Army’ takes off we see how two brothers, Christoffel and Ryan, transport home their recently acquired computer. They spend the rest of the time totally isolated from the world in their attic, playing ‘America’s Army’, a computer game in which the player is recruited by the Special Forces of the American army...

DAS MODELL
Florian GwinnerReality bites its own tail. Florian Gwinner constructs a model of a world from the viewpoint that reality and its model are one.

Gradually, these make way for a church, houses, carsm then ever-wider streets and urban highrises...

UNE TACHE DE SILENCE
Lili DujourieThe first frame shows a corridor and a black light switch. A woman walks into the frame from the left, into the corridor, and then returns ... The stain on the wall, meaningless figure at first hand, gains meaning little by little. The space is constructed with a pronounced depth, with a foreground and a background, and with doors that lead to spaces beyond the frame...
BEAUTY PLUS PITY
Cooper Battersby - Emily Vey DukeThe contemporary fables of Emily Vey Duke and Cooper Battersby propose that existence is abject, farcical, and messy. In their richly textured videos, Duke and Battersby employ live action footage, scavenged images, and simple animations to create episodic structures that evince a simultaneously utopian and dystopian world view...

SILENT LETTER 20012009
Mira SandersThe third 'Silent Letter' was written on January 19th, 2009. The inter- and subtitles refer to the act of drawing. A short way into the video, we see images of radio-commanded model airplanes. A fourth theme is made explicit here: the (clear) line. Throughout the letter, the line is connected with the theme of the border, to be defended by ''guards''....
