curated by Alessandro Urso
TOC celebrates 2020 and the moving image culture by presenting a series of free online live streaming selections that bring together artists and curators from all around the world.
The program features video works by acclaimed and emerging artists exploring contemporary culture through new media, experimental film, and video. It presents a panorama showcasing the variety and breadth of video art and experimental cinema in today's artistic practice.
The first selection, 'Inside/Outside,' serves as a meditation on the limits of our globalized world—a journey to the outermost reaches of the universe where we confront the irrationality of our beautiful and powerful ethical contradictions. This collection is curated by Alessandro Urso.
The screening includes works by Wong Ping, Brodcked & Barbuat, Sean Wang, Nikki Milan Houston, Caspar Stracke, Gala Hernàndez, Ross Meckfessell, Shon Kim, and Yohann Stehr.

Eyes (Emo Punk Angry Love Song)
Your eyes, your hair, your face, you’re my babe
Your smile, your voice, your care, you’re my babe
Your touch, your hug, your love, you’re my babe
But you run, but you run, now you left, my only babe
For all the times we changed our minds
For everything we left behind

Still Here (還在)
2013/color/Taiwan/5’00
"Still Here" was filmed in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, in the village where my grandmother lived, my mother grew up, and where I spent my childhood summers. Nine years ago, my grandmother moved out of the village. Recently, I discovered that not only did nobody move into my grandmother's house after she left, but that the entire village had been displaced and decayed for years, except for a few residents who refused to leave. I was curious to find out what their lives were like now that the village was abandoned, and why they decided to stay.

Caspar Stracke,
Sad Sack
1991/bw/16mm/USA/13’
An encounter of myths.
Is the world more resembling a flat, grammophone record or a child on the back of Atlas?
“A parable and mystery play in which Aaron, Pascal and "the world" come together. A poor drip (sad sack) drowns in his own self-pitty. Highly talented Caspar Stracke has something to say against the pathos and world-escape in this elaborate film full of staging, costume design. He is becoming concrete at the beach of Coney Island." (Dietrich Kuhlbrodt, Franfurter Rundschau)
with: Nashom Wood, Matthew Courtney, Hiltrud Stahl.
Ross Meckfessell,
The Air of the Earth in Your Lungs
2018/16mm/Optical Sound/11’
“The real and the virtual fold together and apart until space itself is rendered immaterial in this slipstream of digital-modulated environments that brings together landscape photography, video game interfaces, and drone-conducted land surveys in brisk montage”

By one artistic visualization, uniform materiality of mass products are transformed to abstract originality in emotional area. By auditory directing, personal memories, the phases of the times products were made, and social meanings for each products are restored. I hope this work reminds about therapeutic aspect of art and puts a little warmth into media genre now being deeply technologized and intellectualized.
