Every year we present international programs of video art and experimental documentaries, video installations, artists’ CD-ROM, performances… We invite contemporary poets… We organise conferences and public debates…

We will watch the works you will forward us with attention, being aware that electronic poetry is fragile, delicate, quivering…

We will inform you of our (always difficult) choices in October 2010 at the latest.

To send by post with your tape and by mail in word format to the e-mail below.

Plus we would like to invite you to send us your ideas for 2013 - 50th anniversary of video art

In 1963, Nam June Paik made a founding act, with the exhibition of thirteen distorted TV sets (Music/Electronic Television) in the gallery Parnass in Wuppertal, Germany

We will celebrate the event by organising the Estates GenerOUs of Video Art
Where does video art come from?
What about video art today?
Where is video art going?

2013 - Marseille - European Capital of Culture

The 2 schedules shall give the event the magnitude it deserves. As collage technique replaced oil paint, the cathode-ray tube will replace the canvas. (Nam June Paik) Did such a revolution Paik predicted happen to take place?
