Video Vortex Workspace: Dominik Bartkowski

During Video Vortex the Netherlands Media Art Institute reveals a new 
identity as an experimental place presenting projects which demand 
public participation, or: do it yourself, with others! In addition to 
showing installations that already exist, various workshops and 
presentations will be given in the WORKSPACE, especially set up for that 
purpose. Each week a different organization takes charge of the 
WORKSPACE, with projects in which you can join in and take part, from 
free software to mobile telephone, video, napster and vlogging workshops.

November 27 - December 2

Dominik Bartkowski (F & PL), Bareback

The project deals with censorship and internet filtering, displaying how 
censor ware works and how it generates and influences language on 
sexuality, desire and lust. A movie generator and video editor show the 
audience how censorship limits the vision and disclosure of desire. The 
software is realized as a realtime-generated multimedia video 
installation based on Linux, ffmpeg, mencoder and Python/PIL.
By deconstructing, morphing, overlapping video images coming from 
different movies, we are trying to frame our dreams and communicate them 
through You Tube or Flickr to people around us.
“Deconstructive editing”, is a software for the appropriation of video 
materials that are downloaded and viewed through the network. 
Deconstructing video images, combining them with texts, allows to 
display information in a more individual way, open for a critical or 
personal approach. It opens a door for a discussion in between, where, 
filtered codified images and videos could express what the official flow 
of information is omitting.

Dominik Bartkowski is present during opening hours of the exhibition to 
show his project.

Opening hours: Tuesday through Saturday and first Sunday of the month, 
1:00 to 6:00 p.m.
