After.Video II

For anyone interested in alternative forms of publishing, a discussion the after.video book and its future as a possible video journal. This workshop furthermore invites a critical discussion of the principles of 'radical openness' in the context of (video-) publication and exchange of audio/visual theories/knowledge. What happened to the Open Access movement?

Theorising a World of Video, after.video realizes the world through moving images and reassembles theory after video. Extending the formats of ‘theory’, it reflects a new situation in which world and video have grown together.

The first book is an edited collection of assembled and annotated video essays, currently stored on a server inside a VHS (Video Home System) case. This is both a digital and analog object: manifested, in a scholarly gesture, as a ‘video book’. An online version will soon become available, located on the web at http://after.video/assemblages.

Do come along if you are interested in discussing the concept of 'radical openness' in the context of video-theory publication and possible future topics for the video journal, such as:

- Rays of Video (materiality of visibility; light technologies & infrastructures)

- Triste Tropiques (disappearing worlds; indigenous world views, etc.)

- Areal Imagery
