\u2018so real, so very now\u2019 is curated by Misha de Ridder and is intended as an exercise in seeing: to look, to look again and to look anew. Perception is the point of departure for a series of experiments in video within the restraint of one minute.<\/p>\n
An open call was preceded by a workshop with students of Gerrit Rietveld Academiein Amsterdam in order the investigate the nature of the real and now and set perimeters for the series. The workshop concluded with the following statement: \u201cPerceptual reality is not objective since it is already framed (by the very act of looking), but it is also not subjective as it is not yet categorized (no meaning has been attached to it yet). It is more like a sort of state than actual reality. This state we will call \u2018pure perception\u2019, which is thus inherently open for interpretation. It coincides with the medium. In art making to stay in the realm of \u2018pure perception\u2019 means the work of art, for the viewer, should be as open for interpretation as possible. The artist should stay within this ambiguous zone which you cannot fully grasp, since it is here where we seem to connect with or relate to the world as unknown given. (Regardless if this reality actually exists in the world or \u2018in the mind\u2019.) The camera, here understood as \u2018looking machine\u2019, is ideally suited for working in this realm of the \u2018pure perception\u2019. This is because the \u2018machine reality\u2019 is neither the reality before interpretation (the camera reality is already framed and transformation has already started), nor is there interpretation since the camera is not conscious, it is not a subject, it has no brain. The artist working with photography and film who aims to work in the realm of \u2018pure perception\u2019 should \u2018go with\u2019 the output of the camera (working in a level of concentration where thought is virtually absent). And subsequently present it intuitively (abstain from attaching meaning, so far this is actually possible) in such a way that the final work is true to the realm of \u2018pure perception\u2019. The final work should be as open for interpretation as possible and perhaps even more important, it should almost magically incite the viewer to find new meaning the more he looks. (To look, to look again, to look anew.)\u201d<\/p>\n
