Optica Project, The Visual Way of Life. Videoarte internacional / International Video-art.

If you’re inside the world of the videoart: independent artist, curator, vj, institution…, it would be a pleasure for us that you take part of our program. For that reason, we’d like to invite you to make a proposal for Optica 2010.

Note for Galleries
Optica offers the opportunity to present new video works by emerging and established artists. The participation is through invitation and it is free of charges.

A jury composed of people linked to the world of contemporary art will select the best work within each section. These will be awarded the Optica Prize 2010 for best videoart work.
