Selected from an international open call for submissions, ArtCast Spring 2008 includes four audio and four video podcasts, released weekly throughout April.
Week 1 available now!
Play or download audio and video now, or read Ways to experience ArtCast to subscribe to the podcasts.
This is the first of four weekly podcasts in association with moves08, in which audio and video art exploring the theme of this year's moves festival, the interaction of movement and sound, has been selected from an international open call. For the first week two audio and three video pieces have been brought together, all of which have a shared wit and communicative sensibility. Click here for further information.
Week 2 available now!
This week's selection explores and makes manifest tensions which arise in the relation of audio to visual, sound to movement, and vice versa. One audio and two video pieces communicate the intensity inherent in such relationships. Click here for further information.
Week 3 available now!
Play or download audio and video now or read Ways to experience ArtCast to subscribe to the podcasts.
For the third week of podcasts exploring the moves08 festival theme of the interaction between movement and sound, three videos and one audio piece have been selected. There is a subtlety in the execution of these pieces which crosses the line between calming or contemplative and something more unnerving and sinister. Click here for further information.
Week 4 available now!
We've had to remove this weeks video due to technical difficulties - it will be available again soon.
The final podcast in this series, released to coincide with moves08, takes a more descriptive or observational approach to the theme, addressing both verbal and visual approaches to commentary and the act of description, in one audio and two contrasting video pieces.
