Some of the most substantial and pioneering video and digital artists in the world are currently being approached to make one of the pieces for blink and on their agreement to make some work for the project their names will be published here.
So far, Robert Cahen (France), Andrea Faciu (Romania), Zineb Sedira (France/Algeria/UK), Marie Ange Bordas, Brasil, Berry Bickle (Zimbabwe, Mozambique), Jeremy Welsh (Norway/UK), Petra Lindholm (Sweden, Finland), Ruelo Lozendo (Phillippines), Ana Marten (Costa Rica), Roberto Shaefer (US), Paolo Rosa of Studio Azzurro (Italy), Maree Mills (New Zealand), Pipilotti Rist (Switzerland), Gary Hill (US), Steina and Woody Vasulka (Iceland, Czechoslovakia), Theo Eshetu (Ethiopia/Italy), Chris Meigh-Andrews, (Canada/UK), Bill Seaman (US), Francisco Ruiz de Infante (Spain/France), Vince Briffa (Malta), Rik Lander, Uk, and Terry Flaxton (UK) plus others will each be making a piece for blink.
There is no rule book; the artists are being asked simply to respond to the pieces before theirs, to make a moving image piece with maximum duration of 4 minutes. Whether they respond with impressionistic, figurative, abstract, expressionist or ambient work... whatever the artist feels in his or her artistic intuition will be the right response in making a contribution to this collected work.
The underlying theme derives from our sense of danger - that the world stands upon the brink of disaster, yet it is also informed by hope. Importantly, the self-reflexiveness of the medium will always be under the artists scrutiny.
