ARTchSO association aims at promoting video art in the urban environment through its concept of Show Window : screening video artworks in the windows of shops and stores so that the artworks can reach a wide general public. With the help of advanced technology, Show Window realizes the requirement of complete transmission of the video artworks and establishes interactive dialogue, thus allows the metamorphosis of a public space into a real museum.
\nIn our first ARTchSO Video Festival 2011, we have made special efforts in utilizing the audio-visual equipments in order to bring the audience \u201ccloser\u201d to the artworks, so that they can perceive the artworks in their integrity.
\nIn 2012, we would like to go a step further and concern ourselves with the interactivity between audience and the artworks.<\/p>\n
ARTchSO chooses a continent as the theme for the festival every year. This event of ARTchSO will take place in April 2012 at the city centre of Rennes, France.<\/p>\n Rules :<\/p>\n \u2022 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Candidates can be of African origins, or their video artworks are inspired by African culture.

\nAsia was our theme in 2011 (http:\/\/artchso.blogspot.com<\/a>). For 2012, we are happy to have chosen Africa. Africa is chosen for the difference, aesthetic and susceptibility in African artworks, which distinguish themselves from their European counterparts. We are interested in discovering the creations in African video art. Till now, there are still not too many exhibitions of African video art in Europe. We believe that their videos can help people to understand better, and appreciate, the African sense towards social and political issues. Screening these videos in the public can even help the whole city aware of the African culture from a new perspective \u2013 which is the essence of ARTchSO\u2019s objective and commitment.<\/p>\n
