VISIO – Moving Images in Europe Since the 2010s

The book features original contributions from twenty-three authors who have participated in the program over the years and is divided into two main sections: the first reflects the theoretical and discursive approach of VISIO by alternating essays and conversations; the second compiles a large archive of the first twelve editions of VISIO.
The texts investigate various topics: the questioning of a European identity; the accessibility and role of academic institutions and residences; the evolving significance of images in the digital age; the virtual realm as an exhibition and research space; the impact of documentary practices on contemporary production; the rise of investigative aesthetics and exhibitions as a medium to renegotiate truth; the commodification of digital images and their influence on power consumption; the shifts in curatorial approach to physical and digital spaces; a focus on the practices of VISIO generation artists; and how public and private institutions commission and collect moving image today.
