Dream Video Division is an avant-garde, new media artist collective specializing in experimental video art and immersive reinterpretations of pop media.
The Locarno Avant-Garde Film Festival says about the group: "through their work, DVD experiments, explores, and reinvents the way audiences watch and relate to movies and digital images, whether through live stream remixes, temporal editing experiments, or in-person art installations. DVD regularly streams their work online which is accompanied by a live chat, giving the audience a digital front row seat and allowing the work to be enjoyed live as a community."[1]
Process[edit]
The collective generally uses the exquisite corpse method to create its projects. The source media is broken down into segments and each artist builds upon their piece, after which the media is reassembled and shown as a single film.
Artists in the collective use various techniques to distress the footage, using both analog glitch art and digital methods and often inserting unrelated clips or shooting additional material to add to segments.
Notable Projects[edit]
The group was commissioned to create a film and art exhibition on Nosferatu (1922) on the occasion of the film's 100th anniversary at the 2022 Overlook Film Festival in New Orleans.[2] The project was received positively on numerous podcasts[3][4][5]
As part of the Locarno Film Festival in 2022, the group edited the film Speed (1994) down to a 12-minute short, with each editor compressing more than eight minutes of footage down to exactly one minute. In the same performance, they created Slow & Serious in which each artist expanded one minute of The Fast and the Furious (2001) to five minutes.[6]
In August 2022, the group began to release new art pieces each based on one minute of the film Magnolia (2000), a project that required six months to complete, and released daily on Twitter[7]
The collective screened works in the 2022 Toronto Film Festival, as well as the closing night event of Fantastic Fest 2022 in Austin, TX.
