The initiative was established in 2007 by the Institute of Network Cultures in Amsterdam. Video technology has radically altered the way in which we produce, consume and circulate images, influencing the aesthetics and possibilities of moving image cultures, as well as yielding a rich body of scholarship across various disciplines. Given its ease of access and use, video has historically been aligned with media activism and collaborative work. Video is driving social media and the web. It is dominating the internet of things. Cameras causing breakdowns in networks. Online video became lifelike.<\/p>\n<p>Rapidly changing technological formats implicate the urgent need to engage with practices of archiving and curation, modes of collaboration &#038; political mobilization, as well as fresh comprehensions of the subject-spectator, actors &#038; networks constituted by contemporary video and digital cultures.<\/p>\n<p>Previous events:<\/p>\n<p>videovortex #1: Brussels, Belgium, October 2007<br \/>\nvideovortex #2: Amsterdam, the Netherlands, January 2008<br \/>\nvideovortex #3: Ankara, Turkey, October 2008<br \/>\nvideovortex #4: Split, Croatia, October 2009<br \/>\nvideovortex #5: Brussels, Belgium, November 2009<br \/>\nvideovortex #6: Amsterdam, the Netherlands, March 2011<br \/>\nvideovortex #7: Yogyakarta, Indonesia, July 2011<br \/>\nvideovortex #8: Zagreb, Croatia, May 2012<br \/>\nvideovortex #9: L\u00c3\u00bcneburg, Germany, February 2013<br \/>\nvideovortex #10: Istanbul, Turkey, September 2014<br \/>\nvideovortex #11: Kochi, India, February 2017<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deadline: 31 January 2019 Call for entries VideoVortex XII, Malta Conference: September 27-28, 2019 Exhibition: 6 September until 10 November (in Gallery, space C) Please submit to: submissions@vv12.org Website: http:\/\/vv12.org [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8829,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[110,84,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9246","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-calls-film-video","category-festival","category-filmvideo","has_thumb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/netex.nmartproject.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9246","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/netex.nmartproject.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/netex.nmartproject.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/netex.nmartproject.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/netex.nmartproject.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9246"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/netex.nmartproject.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9246\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9248,"href":"https:\/\/netex.nmartproject.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9246\/revisions\/9248"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/netex.nmartproject.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8829"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/netex.nmartproject.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9246"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/netex.nmartproject.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9246"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/netex.nmartproject.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9246"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
