Kinopixel is a screen-based installation curated for the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum by Darryl Georgiou. It makes links between experimental film avant-gardes and new media art.
In 1978 the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum hosted the pioneering 'Video Art 78' exhibition which showcased early work by artists central to the video art movement in the late 1970s. Thirty years on, Kinopixel explores the work of a new generation of artists. The exhibition provides a timely review of experimental moving image as it migrates from film and video to digital.
The work presented is free from narrative. The content explodes on screen, revealing fragments, shaping material, light, process and time to create free aesthetic forms. The results are open to interpretation and reveal themselves through inspection.
