News 17 December 2020
We would have loved to provide you with information about our programme for the International Short Film Day on 21 December! But sometimes more important things come up, which is why the Short Film Day unfortunately has to be cancelled this year. In these times of more stringent Corona regulations, we extend our solidarity to the cinemas and other cultural institutions that have had to close down.
Last Call for Entries - Deadline: 31 December, 2020
You still have until the end of the year to submit your works for the EMAF 2021 screening – at: submissions.emaf.de. We look forward to receiving your films, videos, installations, performance projects and works from the field of Expanded Media!
Lichte Momente - Body Hacking
For those of you who happen to be in Osnabrück over the festive season, it is definitely worth your while to take a stroll through the old town, where the outdoor media art project "Lichte Momente" can be seen until 31 December.
Entitled Body Hacking, the project places the much-discussed topic of "posthuman bodies" at the hub of artistic debate: body hackers, for instance, have RFID chips surgically implanted under their skin, which they use to unlock doors, unlock smartphones or store data. By taking chemical substances and hormones, they optimise their bodies - and in doing so reduce all normative categories to absurdity.
In their aesthetic positions, this year's artists Stine Deja, Eva Papamargariti, Filip Ćustić and Younghee Shin encircle, question and reflect on the theme of body hacking and approach it in serious, poetic, ironic or humorous ways.
We wish you all happy and above all healthy holidays and all the best for the New Year!
