Today, on 9 April at 5.30 pm, the first of three Audio-visual Source Code presentations is live-streamed from Teatro Cultural in Seville. Today’s Code is called ‘Hacking the Veil’, and is done by Toni Serra (Abu Ali).
The sound will come through in 2 languages. Use your right ‘headphone ear’ English, and the left for Spanish.
An Audiovisual Source Code is neither a screening nor a conference, it is a hybrid format. It is a game. It could be a discussed screening, it could be a screening-concert, it could be an scenic experiment with audiovisual sources. An Audiovisual Source Code uses materials from personal and institutional archives to present the topic of the day.
The realities produced by the mainstream media interfere with our direct experience, creating hegemonic discourses that are difficult to tear down. How can we begin? ‘Hacking’ the veil of imposed images is a crucial challenge if we are to generate a model of inclusive citizenship and to demolish the monuments of neoliberalism, revealing the shadows that they cast.
Abu Ali (Toni Serra) studied History of Art and Philosophy at theUniversidad de Barcelona, video edition and aesthetics at the Film & Video Art in New York, and Communication Analysis at CUNY Brooklyn College. In 1989 he started working in video as a form of reflection and critique of contemporary culture, and also as a means of personal exploration. In 1992 he co-founded the OVNIarchives where he still works doing research and programming events such as: Post Sept 11th, Resistances, Colonial Dream, Autonomous Zones.
