RELINE2

RELINE2 artists investigate modern mythology, examine environments, explode form, and play with similes between machine and body. From buildings ripping apart by unseen forces to characters on strange journeys in wild imagined spaces, these videos explore the integration of technology into every strata of our lives. Through the use of custom software, unique processing methods, and envelope-pushing applications of traditional production tools, these pieces push technical limits and very bounds of style and imagination. This second disc is marked by a stronger conceptual focus, with technology playing an enabling role instead of being the primary agenda. Works in this collection offer an insight into the current world and it’s potential future as imagined through graphic re-interpretations, biotechnology, architecture, and the environment.

ABOUT THE RELINE DVD SERIES:
The goal of the RELINE series is to compile an array of work showcasing artists engaged in the creation of new visual forms deriving from experimental techniques and the re-orientation of high-end production processes. Part video archive, part work of art itself, RELINE serves the dual goal of contextualizing and developing an emerging media form. This compilation aspires to establish a solid ground from which to create and distribute video in a world with an increasing desire to have a dialog with its screen and explore the possibilities beyond the constraints of broadcast content.

SCREENINGS:
The first RELINE DVD has been a worldwide success, providing exposure for the represented video artists and experimental video art as a medium. Screenings include: Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (SF), the Guggenheim Bilbao (Spain), The Lincoln Center (NYC), Austin Museum of Digital Art, Santa Fe Art Institute and galleries and festivals through out the US and Europe.

PRESS:

“The ten artists on Reline manipulate, break, and build technology to link, warp, and tune a new visual language of graphic abstraction.” - XLR8R magazine

ABOUT THE CURATORS:
Reline creators Scott Pagano and Phoenix Perry began with a vision to create a lasting record of the emergence of technology based art in 2001.There collective vision fuels this project and its future development.
