MORGAN BERINGERThe Attempt to Escape Noise, 2:50, UK
An exploratory stroboscopic challenge to the mystical and severely aestheticised
metanarrative.
Morgan Beringeris an American artist based in East London. Having spent and
continuing to spend much of his life in transit between different countries, the
thrust of his creative concern stems from the dilemma of living in-between
cultures. An acedemic background in both philosophy and art pushed these
concerns further into the realms of linguistics, performance and film/video art.

GULI SILBERSTEINExcerpt, 4.35, Israel
One excerpt from a flow of Internet video news: a family is hiding behind a wall in a
neighborhood that turned into a war zone. The compressed video is slowed down, enlarged,
and accompanied by a new soundscape, revealing additional dimensions in the scene. The
image is transformed into a psychedelic landscape, creating a troubling contrast between
imagery and content, leading to an uneasy affect: anxiety deconstructed into pixels.
Guli Silberstein graduated from Tel-Aviv University with a BA in Film & Video in
1997. He lived in Manhattan, New York from 1997 -2002, during which time he
graduated from the New School University in 2000 with a MA in Media Studies and
a focus on Media Art and video editing. In 2002 he returned to Tel Aviv, where he
continued to develop his ideas in the form of video art works, which have been
presented in festivals, museums and galleries such as: Transmediale Berlin, Kassel
Film and Video Festival, Videobrasil Sao Paolo, Museum on the Seam Jerusalem,
the National Centre ofContemporary Art Moscow, and ScalaMata exhibition space, Venice.
Since March 2010, Guli Silberstein lives in London, UK .

ANNEY BONNEYRain Remeditation, 9:09, USA
Does the pervasive fact of media compel us to remediate something as simple as rain and as
complex as dreaming?
This installation explores the threshold between external and internal transitional states,
conscious weather and doppler dreaming.
The project aims to bring our auditory and visual senses into more equal alignment, to
stimulate imagination, inquiry and expansion of our habituated sensory bandwidth.
Anney Bonney paints, makes videos, writes and lives in New York City.
A former contributing arts editor at Bomb magazine and Performance/Video curator at the
Kitchen, she has shown her work at numerous Film Festivals including: Oberhausen,
Rotterdam and Tribeca, at the American Film Institute, the Brooklyn Museum and the Ford
Foundation, as well as exhibiting her installations at the Presidents palace in Rio de Janeiro
