If you replay the video, you will see the Rabbit to start dreaming and waking up all over again. Due to the process of creation in Flash, everything was randomized (characters, the background, colors, sequences, the sound, etc.). The final result is completely unexpected because of the randomized Script.

17.01.1922 is a documentary about my grandmother‘s life. The body stretched in time, material condensed in a human cell. We have visited places that are very important for her: the home of her childhood, the old factory where she used to work, places and things she touched. Somehow the story is very universal...The parallel perception of those two senses I am considering as the most important in my work. Recently I think the life give us incredible opportunities to feedback your thoughts in a form of short film - so that I liked the idea to make it in a 30 sec, it is just like one thought..."


Marek Straszak is interested in all kind of audiovisual experiments. Studying in DigitalClass (UdK Berlin), he actually comes from the photography/film "zone".

"The film is a futuristic view of a man trying to buy more lifetime for himself from an ATM-like machine.”


I was born in Turku, Finland in 1976, and I'm still living there. I study film and TV production for the first year. Like almost everybody else, I have loved movies all my life. But after seeing Matthew Barney's Cremaster Cycle, I knew I wanted to be a film-maker. The versatility and the possibility of bringing many art forms under the same roof are the most intriguing things about film to me.

Twentyfourseven - time-lapse-like wrap up of a typical day at the office. Twentyfourseven's main objective is to shed a light on the ever recurring cycle of boredom and anesthesia in modern urban life. By doing so with a winking eye, it also ridicules all mankind efforts to overcome that cycle.

Time makes every static image dynamic is a short experiment using Screen Capture software. While people often complain about "information overload", I believe that quick close scrutiny of a single image can have similar effects to the overload that people describe. "Still" images are always scanned and moved about by our perceptions. It is simply a kind of equilibrium imposed by our consciousness that makes things seem "still" for any amount of time. In some ways this brief work illustrates the kind of time that is contained in my own scanning or reading of the image.

"I shot this film in the heart of London, Piccadilly Circus, where I found a Buddha image on an exchange-money advertising poster. I couldn't see any relations between my holy prophet and GBP or USD. In my Buddhist country, Thailand, Buddha is the sacred figure. All good Thai Buddhists normally go to the temple and worship holy Buddha. What have Westerners done to my religion? I have been trying to be optimistic, and finally, I came up with a thought that I have to thank them for this. Now, living in this bustling city, we can find it easier to worship our Buddha on the road, when we have no time to go to the temple!


Wiracha Daochai,born in 1984, is an Art Worker who is studying MA Performance Making at Goldsmiths, University of London. He usually brings controversy into his arts as he feels it is the best way to examine the fallacy in the truth. Wiracha spent his childhood as a monk for 8 years and had worked as a writer, a lyric-composer, and a creative and content provider in Bangkok, Thailand.

Essentially portraits visualize human beings, who exist temporally. Yet this genre has traditionally approached identity as a timeless entity rather than as a temporal un-folding. Thinking of the human body and the face, we have the association to a lively organism who is interacting with the environment and is constantly changing. The change of the organism reveals itself through the passage of time. The visual inquiry questions the essential elements of the portrait which engage the spectator with the notion of temporality, change and the human being as a living being.

"Thanks Warhol” is the first film Caley has made for festival submission. It was inspired on a Sunday night by the need for inspiration and motivation to pursue what one wants. The film looks to one of Andy Warhol’s quotes as this motivation, and was made to make the viewer ‘feel something’ – not focusing on technicalities.

She is a practitioner of visual culture and dabbles in many forms of media; including acting, writing, design, painting, fashion, publishing, and filmmaking.

There is cold outside but she just keeps spinning the clocks.

An alarm clock is encapsulated in a block of ice, suspended by a chain. Originally performed as a sound piece, the melting water drips into a copper vessel , amplified by a contact microphone. The sound created resonates as if in a cave due to the acoustic characteristics of the copper vessel, while the alarm clock - an object from the everyday – is frozen and framed in a ritual where time passes yet stays still.


Kathryn Maguire is a visual artist based in Dublin, Ireland. She has a BA in Fine Art Sculpture and a MA in Art in the Contemporary World. She is a non-medium specific artist her working methodology varies with each project. These medias include glass, bronze, ice, cellotape, public grafitti, photography, text, video, sound and mirror.
