Another nice surprise in the Video Mapping Festival of Lille: Moulting by Capsule Collectif. Intestines-dwelling-in-mud -like formations are not the most usual imagery of mappings, so I could call this a fresh take. There were accidental moments of beauty in colours of dragonfly wings, but even they were somewhat mechanical and cruel. Loved it. A special shoutout for the music by Géraldine Kwik, defs not the regular boom-ba-boom, but an insightful approach to nature sounds going totally uncanny. Weird and wonderful!

Even if I'm not too much into traditional power-mapping, the last seconds of mammasONica's Le doute de l’air made an impression on me. There certainly was a wow, but also something majestically sinister in the veil sucked into the abyss of the window. Yes, I'm into details like that.

Anni Laukka is a Finnish artist, with an amazing eye for building shadows. In Please don't take us the material is bronze, but she's also used found sea trash, teddy bears from Ukraine, lego blocks and kitchen utensils, just to name a few. Her art is straightforwardly political and very humane; staggering and touching at the same time.

Raphaëlle Martinez's papercut animation La rubrique des pigeons was a nostalgic perk in the very digital-looking Video Mapping festival of Lille. Even the info text about a pigeon delivering a message was missing fashionable key words – but the artwork delivered its message perfectly all the same. Congratulations for the special mention in the competition!

All this money – and it sings, too! Shadi Jafarabadi's Monetary Mirrors in Videomapping festival of Lille was as political as it was colourful. A very nice exception of the power mapping tradition.

My days in IBSIC conference and Video Mapping Festival in Lille started with immersive video art at L'Hybride. Here's Julia Shamsheieva's delighfully dadaistic and pink part of the evening's program.

There are even smaller light art pieces than what we see in Thesmallest festival. Some of them have been displayed at Gallery 1:10 - Mood Board,
a project by artist Anna Lidberg. It is a miniature gallery with miniature artworks from different artists, some of them using light.

As seen at the ever-lovely and totally redommended Arvika Ljus! festival in 2024. https://arvikaljus.se/en/arvika-ljus-2024/
