Video artists from all over the world are invited to submit their works on the theme 'Ecology without Borders' for the sixth edition of International Video Art Festival Now&After to be held at The State Darwin Museum in Moscow, one of the largest natural science museums in Europe, from October 29 till November 29, 2016.
International Video Art Festival Now&After is annually held in Moscow, Russia, and is traditionally hosted by a museum. During a few weeks the festival program is shown as an integrated multi-channel video installation.
Now&After’16 theme is ECOLOGY WITHOUT BORDERS
“By ecology we mean the whole science of the relations between an organism and the environment, including, in the broad sense, all the “conditions of existence”, - that's how ecology was defined by its creator, the German biologist Ernst Haeckel.
In today's world the meaning of the term “ecology” has gone far beyond the field of biology. Speaking about the ecology in a broad sense, we often have in mind the ethical component. We are talking about the ecology of culture, social ecology, political ecology, the ecology of relationships, etc., and not to forget about studying the complex relationship between humans and the environment.
So what do the artists focus on?
· Ecology as a relationship between the organisms and the environment or ecology in a general sense?
· Environmental catastrophes or ecological balance maintaining?
· Relationships between humans and the environment or the life of nature itself?
· The growth of cities or rural ecosystems development?
· Social or cultural ecology?
· Ecology of the relationships among people or between people and animals?
· Alienation from nature or integration with it?
· Contamination of the environment or preservation of untouched nature?
In 2016 the festival takes place at the State Darwin Museum, one of the largest natural science museums in Europe. That is why the area of our special interest this year includes different aspects of the ecology as interaction of living beings among themselves and with the environment.
