the equisite corpse video project
A multi-channel video collaboration featuring 14 artists from 9 countries.
(10:30pm) Free
Inspired by the Surrealist invention, the "Exquisite Corpse", a method of sequential, collaborative image production, these video shorts were composed over a period of two weeks by 14 artists from 9 countries.
In the Surrealist 'game', a paper is folded such that each contributor sees only a small portion of the previous contributor's work, and begins his own work from that small portion. When the last participant is finished, the sheet is unfolded to reveal a strangely divergent, yet contiguous form or figure.
These video versions were created by members of artreview.com, an online networking site for artists, galleries, and collectors, and was instigated and managed by Brazilian video-artist, Kika Nicolela. They were composed in the following manner: the final ten-seconds of an initial one-minute video is sent online to a second participant, who then integrates it into the beginning of her own minute-long video, and she, in turn, sends her final-ten-seconds to a third contributor, and so on, until the collected minutes are 'stitched' together in their order, creating a single piece.
