| Famous Bosch Triptych Gets Dissected in Immersive Video Installation
Madrid's Prado Museum is re-contextualizing one of its most famous works with an entirely new video installation. Hieronymus Bosch's famed triptych "The Garden of Earthly Delights" is dissected and reimagined in all of its surreal glory with a 75-minute, 18-channel video installation from artist lvaro Perdices and filmmaker Andrs Sanz.
"Infinite Garden" has been conceived to create a totally immersive atmosphere which allows spectators to enter Bosch's famous triptych through a perceptual space, moving around the Earthly Paradise, the Garden of Earthly Delights and Hell in the company of numerous figures, creatures and bodies. It dissects, breaks up and reassembles details from the painting's multiple pictorial worlds, generating a sensory space that is in turn wrapped in a soundtrack with three-dimensional elements.

When do you use them? How do you use them? As modern 4K+ digital cinema cameras evolve and become more affordable, it is important that you learn not only a particular camera system, but how modern production works as a whole.
With digital cinema cameras from companies such as ARRI, Blackmagic Design, Canon, Panasonic, Sony and RED allowing for not only 4K acquisition but also HDR recording with huge color spaces, multiple recording options (resolutions and codecs), raw and log recording, and plethora of other options, it's hard to sort everything out. That's what Government Video Expo's Intensive Production Workshop will focus on.
Jem Schofield of theC47 will explain how modern digital cinema cameras work so attendees can make informed decisions about how to shoot their next project/s. While he will use certain cameras to demonstrate features and choices, the data covered in the workshop will apply to all modern digital camera systems.
Meriem Bennani's "FLY" Combines Video Projections with Garish Cartoons
Artist Meriem Bennani's video installation FLY combines footage shot in her native Morocco with garish and inventive animations, most notably in the form of a cartoon fly narrator. The footage is projected onto a series of geometric shapes and panels throughout a room at MoMA PS1, where the exhibit is running through August 28.
Virtual Reality Gets Real
Virtual reality has become a vital new medium for storytelling, social outreach, global awareness, advertising, medicine and training. It's interesting to see how this technology is being used, especially its applications for video professionals.
That's why we're introducing Virtual Reality 20/20, a new component to our annual NYC Television & Video Week that will take place October 17 at the TimesCenter in Times Square in New York City.
Video Artist Julian Rosefeldt Explores the World of 20th Century Manifestos with Cate Blanchett
Julian Rosefeldt's 13-channel video art installation "Manifesto" features Cate Blanchett playing a variety of roles as she reads aloud some of the most famous art manifestos of the 20th century, from surrealism to Dogme 95 and beyond.
Rosefeldt spoke about what he learned from dissecting these artists' words: "I believe artists have a voice and should take risks, but not necessarily to act out clichs or be modern-day Jeanne d'Arc. Artists, philosophers and scientists have a great privilege, which is to speak out and say things that haven't yet been proven.
"Somehow, it's okay now to say certain things in the streets of Germany that I couldn't have dreamt about 10 years ago. We have all this loud talking without any substance or intelligence, whereas the authors of those manifestos were all similarly loud and angry, but also brilliantly sharp, intelligent and very poetic."
