Video as Urban Condition: People Participants in the project draw on experiences — from architecture to activism — touching on a wide range of practices, interests and locations within the field. What they have in common is what we all share in modern urban life. They do not regard video as an art-specialism, media-sector or single-purpose tool. Information about (some of the) participants in the project is organised alphabetically. If you are mentioned and would like to update the information, please get in touch. Anthony Auerbach Diana Baldon CoDy: Collective
Dynamics Thomas Edlinger Edina Husanovic Juha Huuskonen Klub Zwei (Simone Bader & Jo Schmeiser) Klub Zwei’s work since the collaboration was formed in 1992 has centred around the politics of representation. That implies the question of whose voices are heard in European democracies and the analysis of how political issues are represented in the mass media. Their works on video and in public space have focused recently on the experience and the perception of migration, on women’s experience and legacy of the Holocaust. In reply to the question, What about the city? Klub Zwei’s contribution to the Video-pool poses to question, What about the state? The compilation Staatsarchitektur (State Architecture) includes works by Hatice Ayten, Sabine Derflinger & Berhard Pötscher, Klub Zwei, Goran Rebic and Hito Steyerl. http://www.klubzwei.at Video-pool contributor read more Manu Luksch Manu Luksch’s Video-pool contribution, Urban Road Movies

Anna McCarthy Anna McCarthy is author of Ambient Television: Visual Culture and Public Space (2001) and co-editor, with Nick Couldry, of the anthology Media/Space: Place, Scale and Culture in a Media Age (2004). Her work combines photo documentation and historical research interpreting the urban geographies of television at the crossroads of visual and material culture. Ambient Television explored the significance of the diverse, site-specific uses of television outside the home. Recently, she has documented the physical emplacement and elaboration of the desk-top computer in order to help understand electronically mediated workspaces as material, rather than merely virtual arenas for control and/or expression. Anna McCarthy is Associate Professor and Acting Department Chair of Cinema Studies at New York University. Symposium speaker 2004 Anna McCarthy’s pool contribution documents the use of the
television set as part of a complex of visual signifiers in small
retail and service establishments, many of them run by and for recent
immigrants to the United States. Helge Mooshammer Neutral (Tapio Snellman & Christian Grou) Founded in 1998 by two architects, Neutral’s practice comprises aspects of what they call visual analysis. Working with architects such as Zaha Hadid, Herzog & de Meuron, David Chipperfield and David Adjaye, Neutral have created compelling visions of new architecture. Their animated films not only visualise projected buildings, but also narrate design concepts and relations to the urban landscape. At the same time they have produced independent video films exploring urban experience through a subjective lens, meditating on the identities and atmospheres of cities such as Tokyo and Mumbai. Their Video-pool compilation juxtaposes the results of these two activities as forms of urban fiction. Video-pool contributor http://www.neutral.gs Paul O’Connor Paul O’Connor is co-founder of Undercurrents News Network, a non-profit organisation producing and distributing non-fiction media works. Undercurrents’ aim as video activists is to use video to help bring about positive environmental and social change. They aim to inspire, train, educate and inform the public about communities taking non-violent direct action. Undercurrents also supplies broadcasters with video images from its unique archive of radical dissent. http://www.undercurrents.org Symposium speaker 2004 Ole Scheeren Ole Scheeren is director of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) Rotterdam office and is partner in charge (with Rem Koolhaas) of the OMA’s biggest project to date: China Central Television Headquarters (CCTV) and Television Cultural Centre (TVCC) in Beijing. He has been leading many other projects at OMA, such as the Prada stores and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, as well as being involved independently in various art projects and exhibitions, including Cities on the Move, London and Bangkok, Media City, Seoul, and the Rotterdam Film Festival. He also writes and lectures regularly. http://www.oma.nl Ole Scheeren’s visit was supported by the Royal Netherlands Embassy, London. Symposium speaker 2004 Nicole Wolf
