Video Vortex Reader III
What is online video today, fifteen years into its exponential growth? What started with amateur work of YouTube prosumers has spread to virtually all communication apps: an explosion in the culture of mobile sound and vision. Now, in the age of the smart phone, video accompanies, informs, moves, and distracts us. Are you addicted yet? Look into that tiny camera, talk, move the phone, show us around - prove to others that you exist! Founded in 2007, Video Vortex is a lively network of artists, activists, coders, curators, critics, and researchers linked by the exchange of ideas, materials, and discussions both online and offline. Video Vortex has produced two anthologies, a website, a mailin...
Video Conferencing
The COVID-19 pandemic has reorganized existing methods of exchange, turning comparatively marginal technologies into the new normal. Multipoint videoconferencing in particular has become a favored means for web-based forms of remote communication and collaboration without physical copresence.

Fluide Mediale
Fließende Übergänge, verschwimmende Körper, sich auflösende Substanzen, verflüssigte Sprache – Fluide Mediale rücken eine bisher wenig akzentuierte Genealogie in den Fokus. Inwieweit Fragestellungen nach dem ökologischen Verbundensein von Mensch/Tier/Pflanze/Stein und Umwelt fruchtbar sind, zeigt sich daran, dass anhand des Fluiden nicht nur Begriffsgrenzen verschwimmen, sondern damit auch ein Erkenntnisgewinn zu erwarten ist, der die Fragen nach festen Begriffsaggregaten hinter sich lässt.

Video Theory
Video is a part of everyday life, comparable to driving a car or taking a shower. It is nearly omnipresent, available on demand and attached to nearby anything, anywhere. Online Video became something vital and independent. With all the video created by the cameras around us, constantly uploading, sharing, linking, and relating, a blue ocean is covering our planet, an ocean of video. What might look as bluish noise and dust from the far outside, might embed beautiful and fascinating living scapes of moving images, objects constantly changing, re-arranging, assembling, evolving, collapsing, but never disappearing, a real cinema. Andreas Treske describes and theorizes these objects formerly named video, their forms, behaviours and properties.
