WORDS
Video/Sound Maria Niro & Richard Broomhall
Screenings:
The 7th Berlin International Directors Lounge. Berlin Germany. February, 10th - 20th , 2012
ABOUTAn online installation / collaboration between Richard Broomhall and Maria Niro.
WORDS is an evolving moving image collaboration, exploring language, cultural context, chance and the nature of online artistic relationships. Entirely remote from one another, the two artists investigate the power of synchronicity in art. The artists never met in person, never seen the others face or heard the others voice.
Each artist takes a turn in proposing a word. Then they are to create a two minute video with original sound interpreting the proposed word. The work has to be shot in each artist’s lived environment and be a response to said environment. All images and audio must be original. There is no discussion of content or production techniques or direction. Neither watched the others work until both were finished. The videos are then composited as a diptych, with no tweaking to adjust synchronization, and is then uploaded to the internet and available for viewing world wide.
Maria is based in New York, USA and Richard is based in Bristol, UK.
