Don Ohkami (at 19.15) https://www.facebook.com/ldonohkami https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8SsOzRveq0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILMJUQeWoG8 VIDEO ART SCREENING (at 8 pm) Videokanava: SUBORDINATED REALITY Curated by Visual Artist and Scientist Martin Calvino (USA / UY) The 2020 theme of the Videokanava is “Subordinated Reality”, which refers to the “post truth”, where, for example, political decisions are influenced by an appeal to emotions that are not related to the truth. Disinformation campaigns and false media have come alongside the old professional journalism as the use of the internet and social media has increased. The goal of these campaigns is not to convince but to shock and confuse. Often, the target of the campaign is the denial of climate change, suspicion of the old media, manipulation of the media by public opinion, and many hate campaigns targeting marginalized groups of people. Research also shows that more shock news is red, which causes news bias and marketing to target that particular “news”. In other words, anger sells and is written about. The exhibition is curated by Martin Calvino, a Scientist and Visual Artist from Uruguay who currently lives in New York. (The curator's text of the topic can be read at www.videokanava.com/open-call.html) The screenings include video works from 18 different international artists. The following works are screened at Hirvitalo: 1. Zoe Aiano and Anna Benner - Chernobyl / Black & White, 2019, Germany / Czech Republic 2. Pierre Ajavon - Forever Changes, 2019, France 3. Fernando Foglino - The Girl and the Dove, 2019-2020, Uruguay 4. Citron Lunardi - Ave Caesar, 2019, Italy 5. Shir Handelsman - Miracles on the mountain, 2020 6. Marko Lampisuo - National Landscape, 2019, Finland 7. Sonia Giannetto - Episodio, 2017, Italy 8. Alberto Reza - System Failure, 2020, Finland / Mexico The total duration of the screening is one hour.

Experimenting with
Internet Memes as Tools of Political Dissent Project by Curator Martin Calvino (NYC /UY) Countries actively construct and manage their brands to advance their economic, social and cultural agendas. We live in an economy of identity in which the perception we have of a country directly affects our perception towards it. More often than not, the projected image of a country does not reflect its true identity. This is the case with the brand 'Uruguay Natural', constructed to convey an image of quality of life while respecting nature, that emphatically contrasts with the reality of acute environmental degradation. In my work I addressed this incongruity by creating Internet Memes with provocative visual content that were distributed online to more than 10,000 Facebook users in Uruguay. I discuss the audience's response to such content and speculate on the use of Internet Memes as tool to increase environmental awareness through culture jamming. Read more |
