Focusing on non-narrative videos, this exhibition brings together some of the works selected in the open call for the 2015 MOCA VIDEO. Artists who created these works come from the UK and Germany, and their works range from 2D image, to 3D animation, to appropriation of ready-made objects. From digital animation to experimental video, the image lingers among the disappearance, polymerization, and multiplication of symbols, unveiling an organic structure without any narrative. In the movement seemingly lacking any pattern, the space and time seem to be more boundless, giving the viewers a carefree visual perception in an imaginative manner.
Four video works are on view in the exhibition. Matt Abbiss's Point uses elements of dots and lines as well as the formation and connection of color blocks to create an intriguing process of polymerization. Max Hattler presents two works: A Very Large Increase in the Size, Amount, or Importance of Something Over a Very Short Period of Time and Model Starship: Unclear Proof. The former creates a series of movement through the formation, explosion, or integration of circles, revealing vacillations and variations in a virtual space. The latter displays a matrix of different ready-mades and uses them to mimic starships that are traversing the galaxy, transforming the purposes and meanings of the ready-mades. Vitreous is created by Robert Seidel, who uses the structure of crystallization as a model and shows the aesthetics of force-field that is abstract and organic through the movement and combination of the elements.
