Guy Richards Smit, Artist (New York)
Patrik Söderlund, Artist (Helsinki)
Eve Sussman, Artist (New York)

To be followed by a 30-minute casual networking session after the panel.

Film and video can be among the most expensive media for any artist to work in. Many professionals may be involved in a production, technical equipment is costly to rent or buy, and editing and other post-production expenses can be prohibitive. Many film and video artists must spend a great deal of time and energy simply raising the funds for their work. The panelists will discuss the range of resources available and some of the creative ways artists have found to secure the funding they need to complete their projects.


2PM - 3:30PM

Moderated by Andrea Monti and Elle Burchill, co-directors, co-founders Microscope Gallery.

To be followed by a Q&A with the audience.

Instant Upload considers the ways in which the ability to instantly upload and view moving image online or on constantly upgrading personal devices affect the making, presentation and reception of the works. The panel will address from the view of the artist, curator, critic and collector questions including: What is the Importance and consequences of having works online for an artist today? What technologies are artists using to make moving image currently and how are they embracing or adapting to ever-changing possibilities of the medium? How does making a film or video publicly accessible online affect a work's reception? How important is the quality of the presentation of the work today, for example on Vimeo as opposed to installed in a gallery or projected in a theatre? What are expectations for the future?
