About

Videographe is dedicated to the development of forms that stem from experimental video and encompass the many modes of production and dissemination available in today’s expanded field of moving image. We endeavour to promote the recognition and understanding of both contemporary and archival works. The moving image serves as a witness to contemporary society. That it is omnipresent in public and private spheres and integrated into our day-to-day communication confirms its relevance and currency as a subject for exploration. The transformation of its languages through, among other things, the hybridization of practices, the influence of the internet and social networks, the growing use of mobile devices, and the rise of virtual reality constitute fertile fields of investigation for Videographe. The conceptual, formal, technical, and political questions that are raised are considered in the context of the changing conditions of production and reception of the last fifty years. In addition to examining the formal and technical developments of the moving image, Vidéographe looks at the political power of the medium. For as long as it has existed, video has been used as a tool for protest, for the assertion of identity, and for the democratization of discourse. Vidéographe places particular focus on this documentary function.
