WOW.18 / USA is the 18th and so far most comprehensive manifestation of The W:OW Project – We Are One World and the first in the USA, at Torrance Art Museum.
Running between July 21 and December 14, 2018, the screening series presents the entire artvideo program as it was presented across the ten venues in 2017, and includes more than 125 art films and videos by 125 artists from nearly 30 countries, selected by 10 guest curators from Mexico, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Bulgaria, Italy, Israel, Austria and Russia, along with the German chief curator and director of The W:OW Project Wilfried Agricola de Cologne – packed into 20 curated, conceptual programs.
According to its concept reflecting the diversity of life and human existence,The W:OW Project presents a diversity of artistic and curatorial concepts, as well as a variety of topics affecting human individuals wherever they live on the globe. The project uses the technology of video and medium of “moving images“ as one of the contemporary audio-visual languages of art. It addresses an open-minded audience who is eager to learn new ways of viewing following the new rules of “artvideo,“ differently than the mass of static and moving images that overwhelm people in daily life – like in cinema, television or Internet. It gives the individual image, or “frame,“ back its individuality and gives time another relevance and perception.
