Fall 2000
Experimental Cinema from Portugal

 

Program (curated by Manuel Henriques from Galeria Ze Dos Bois (Portugal))

ZDB is a creation, programming, confrontational and experimental structure run by a group of people. Born in 1994, ZDB has affirmed itself as a privileged space for confrontation, experimentation and promotion of emerging proposals that deal with contemporary aesthetics and technologies.

ZDB
has made a place for itself as a promoter of a series of different activities that have in common the assertion of emerging art in face of institutionalised proposals. As a creation, production and promotion structure of emerging art, ZDB presents its own projects, and at the same time functions as a space of programming, producing and confrontation of proposals that are a long way away of institutional circuits.

This project explores the possibilities of video as live act show. The types of exhibits range from installations and isolated projections of audio visual themes, to the interaction with various other artists and disciplines from the world of show. The most used exhibit model is Video Jam. Images created by DUB VIDEO CONNECTION (sometimes with sound) are mixed and projected live as a visual support to the performance of DJs creating a dance floor multimedia show.
