Manipulated Image #12: “memory” and “identity”

Manipulated Image/Santa Fe and VideoChannel Cologne proudly present an inter- continental collaboration. As part of the 10th year celebrations of NewMediaArtProject Network based in Cologne, Alysse Stepanian (curator of Manipulated Image) was invited by Wilfried Agricola de Cologne to curate a one hour compilation of experimental short videos by US artists titled “memory” and “identity.” This one-hour compilation will become part of the collection of VideoChannel Cologne and its online screenings.

On April 2, additional videos by the selected artists plus work by Chris Coleman and Penny Lane will be screened at the Complex. Mr. Coleman’s animation is already in the collection of Video Art Database.
