Crosstalk Video Presentations with Judit Kopper

2010. Mar. 10. | 19:00
 

The Crosstalk Video Presentations series was launched in 2008 within the framework of the crosstalk video art festival, Budapest.

Hungarian and international video and media artists are invited for this discussion program comprised of a series of single-evening sessions. The goal of the events is, firstly, to present artists who work in contemporary Hungarian media art together with representatives of the international scene, and, secondly, to introduce and support video art as such. The series has had over 20 invited guests so far.

Invited guests for next session: Judit Kopper and András Sólyom

Date: 10 March 2010, Wednesday, 7 PM

The series entitled Videovilág (Video World) was launched by Hungarian Television (MTV) at the dawn of the regime-change and aired monthly with late night shows. The program was considered a unique phenomenon both in Eastern and Western Europe, as the popularisation of video twenty years ago signified more than the mere emergence of new motion picture technology. In the volatile tension of the political climate of those times, the possibilities presented by private – uncontrollable – handheld cameras paralysed censorship. Everyone was documenting the protests and their dispersals, the speeches, the mass assemblies and television programs. Home archives were expanding, tapes were traded and swapped, copied and illegally distributed. Not only political videos were popular; home-copying of hard-to-find art films, as well as porno and horror films, made for lucrative business for those with two or three VHS players which could be connected up.

In addition to independent documentary film makers, video artists also made their appearance on the Hungarian scene by the end of the 80s. These artists replaced the brush with a camera and were curious to try this new tool which was easy to handle and made shooting much simpler. In the 80s, video art made a strong debut on the international scene. European video festivals – Osnabrück, Hága, Berlin – invited experimental artists as well as famous and prestigious theoreticians and presented their video works along with conferences organised during these days-long events. In addition to traditional panel paintings and sculptures, the works of the eminent representatives of video art were greeted with equal – or even heightened – enthusiasm by the curators of the great international events of visual arts, such as the Venice Biennial and the Documenta in Kassel. And, of course, such “review of troops” in the fine arts world would have been inconceivable without the great star – the Pope – of video art, Nam June Paik.

It was also at this time that computers were becoming popular. Hungarian computer graphics artists, computer musicians and animators quickly, albeit not immediately, made it to the international forefront. As of 1985, an international review of the world’s computer artists has been held every year in Linz, where the exploration of the interaction of science and art with the invitation and participation of renowned theoreticians continues even today. It is also here that the Prix Ars Electronica prize is awarded yearly to the best artist in each of the continuously expanding categories.

Soon – in the early 90s – the Hungarian audience could also become familiar with the latest developments in video and computer art thanks to C3 at the exhibitions organised at Műcsarnokban / Kunsthalle Budapest, where the interfaces of art, technology, science and even politics were analysed with the help of international presenters.

It was this political, artistic, technological and intellectual explosion that set the scene for Videovilág (Video World) and later the program entitled Médiamix (Media Mix), which attempted to follow and communicate developments and results from both the home and international fronts. In addition to relaying information, it also often took on a creative function, whereby artists were given an opportunity to use the show to assist them in bringing to life new works.

Judit Kopper editor-producer and András Sólyom director-DP are behind both television series. tovább…

Videovilág (Video World) 1988 – 1993
5 years running, 55 broadcasts

The television program which aired monthly in the late night hours – with its own regular audience, whom we would today refer to as fans – had 55 broadcasts in a 5-year period surrounding the change of regime. The series was ended by the media war, as the production offices that had been created by Elemér Hankiss – then-president of Hungarian Television – were shut down, including the FRIZ production office, with producer Judit Kopper, which was responsible for the program Videovilág.

Judit Kopper remained the producer and presenter of Videovilág for the full five years of it transmission. The series was initially directed by András Monory-Mész, then, after the first five shows, by András Sólyom. The first few broadcasts were hosted by András Bálint Kovács, later Videovilág aired without a host.

Hungary’s Videovilág was regarded as an internationally renowned program during the years of its broadcast. Its participants continue to have close personal relationships with the makers of the show. A number of international video archives continue to distribute the series even today. Hungarian and international universities analyse Videovilág as part of the curriculum.

Top Hungarian media analysts, theoreticians and artists participated in the making of the series, many of whom soon became leading figures in media education at the official, university level: Tamás Waliczky, Tibor Szemző, László feLugossy, Ákos Szilágyi, Péter György, Miklós Peternák, János Sugár, József Tillmann, András Bálint Kovács.

Interviewees included world renowned representatives of the international media scene: Peter Weibel, Vilém Flusser, Noam Chomsky, Antoni Muntadas, Woody and Steina Vasulka, Gusztáv Hámos, Jeffrey Shaw, Paul Garrin, the winners of Ars Electronica, curatots from The Kitchen, from MOMA, vjs from Music TV, Van Gogh TV / Mike Hentz and Karel Dudesek, Peter Callas, Laurie Anderson, John Lasseter, Kathy Rae Huffmann, Nina Czeglédy, Zbigniew Rybzyński…

Médiamix (Media Mix) 1992 – 2009
17 years running, 180 broadcasts

Hungarian Television (MTV) broadcast Médiamix was in tandem with Videovilág for some time. When the latter went off air, Médiamix remained the only television program in the Hungarian media that dealt with the cultural, sociological, political, technological, and art questions of the media. In over 17 years on the air, viewers of MTV watched 180 shows on media art and media politics.

The first broadcast in February 1992 covered the virtual reality exhibition of “Imagine” in Monte Carlo – quite a sensation at the time – and the last one in May 2009 reported on the phenomenon of music videos spreading on You Tube.

Between the two transmissions, in seventeen years of broadcasting, viewers could watch reportages on the world’s largest visual art and media festivals (Linz, Velence, Kassel) and events (Műcsarnok/Kunsthalle Budapest exhibitions, Meta Forums), media revolutions (Bucharest, Lithuania, Moscow), the relationship between war and the media (Bosnia, Iraq), as well as politicians know how to use the media and politicians who don’t. The role of the media in the elections was addressed both in the East and in the USA (Tsar Yeltsin, USA 2000).

In recent years, Médiamix focused on such network events as the role of You Tube, the possibilities of creative commons, the effects on society of bloggers, vloggers, viruses, hackers, and the new media in general.

Médiamix was originally directed and edited by András Sólyom and Judit Kopper, but later, alongside editor in chief Judit Kopper, dozens of others joined the staff of the program:
László Kistamás, Dóra Csernátony, Miklós Fáy, László Csáki, János Krasznai, Barbara Sterk, Szilvia Seres.
