Beyond Conventions: Methods

“Beyond Conventions: Methods” inaugurates ‘Convergence and Departure: Engagements in Moving-Image’, three-part screening programme endeavours to expand the reach of moving-image in contemporary art discourse in Southeast Asia. Highlighting the growth of video as both medium and method, ‘Beyond Convention: Methods’ explores alternative techniques and technologies used in making a film. Gathering films diverse in their components of production and aesthetic, this screening takes a look at how artists have pushed the boundaries of video beyond its definition to deconstruct and reinvent what video is and what it reveals.
