Pressemeddelelse – rum46 inviterer hermed til videoaften med IMPAKT HIGHLIGHTS. Torsdag d. 10 / 6 2004 kl. 20.00 – 22.00
Impakt Festival er en årligt tilbagevendende international festival for eksperimenterende audiovisuel kunst. I 2003 fandt festivallen sted i Centraal Museum i Utrecht i Holland og rum46 viser de bedste kunst- og musik-videoer fra dette arrangement.
Programmet giver et godt overblik over de mest bemærkelsesværdigt opfindsomme videoer og animationer. Indholdsmæssigt spænder denne samling vidt fra det politiske, det poetiske, til det absurd realistiske.
HIGHLIGHTS ON TOUR består af 14 videoer som vises fra klokken 20.00 – 22.00. Alle er velkomne. Der er gratis entré og der kan købes øl, vand og kaffe.
Nedenfor ses programmet.

IMPAKT HIGHLIGHTS i rum46
Emerge (2003) – Fischerspooner
video / 00:03:00 / USA / 2003
Fischerspooner is the figurehead of the electroclash movement. Their performances, a rarity due to the exorbitant costs, are extravagant and overall presentations. Emerge (2003) is the clip to the song that brought them fame.
Breakfast in Despair – Eunjung Hwang
video / 00:03:05 / USA / 2002
Breakfast – elevator – devil – theater – murder – breakfast. The world as a chain reaction.
White America – Guerrilla News Network
video / 00:4:00 / USA / 2002
Web based video GNN made for Eminem. Received volumnous downloads and tons of controversy.

The audio output is sent to the video input. In between this space the mixing desk controls the dance of light and shadow on the screen.
Starship – Bernard Gigounon

Gigounon shows that alien objects landed on earth ages ago and that we do not even have to look that hard to find them.
Momentum – Martijn Veldhoen
video / 00:05:50 / The Netherlands / 2003
In ‘Momentum’, we as the viewers are being taken in one slow movement through a chain of spaces. By acquiring the ability to take spatial barriers without any difficulty, it seems we are losing our physical presence.
Het Brandende Bruidje (The Burning Bride) – Eveline Ketterings
35mm / 00:04:00 / The Netherlands / 2003

In “The Oral Thing” Björn Melhus uses subversive irony to lay bare the mechanisms and communicative structures of popular TV entertainment.

The ultimate preflight safety instruction. AIR SQUARE is straight, earnest and square. AIR SQUARE has the best looking flight attendants in the industry. But most importantly: AIR SQUARE is proud to be American!
