"OVNI 2005"
Axius de l’Observatori / The Observatory Archives
[OVNI - Observatori de Vídeo No Identificat] [UFO - Unknown Frame Observatory]
"OVNI 2005" will be held at the CCCB from the 25th to the 30th of January 2005, with screenings of some of the works recently added to the Archives. The entire Archives collection will also be available for public consultation during OVNI 2005.
The Observatory Archives are intentional in nature and organised around specific themes, bringing together material that supports a critique of contemporary culture through different approaches such as video art, independent documentary and mass media archaeology.Although the archives include a whole constellation of very different works, they all share a commitment to free expression, and reflect upon our `individual and collective fears and pleasures. Together, they create a multifaceted vision, thousands of small eyes probing and exploring our world and proclaiming other possible worlds. A discourse that values heterogeneity, plurality, contradiction and subjectivity; an antidote to the cloning and repetition of corporate mass media.
In the 10 years of OVNI’s existence, the Observatory Archives have grown to include more than 700 works and documents [DVD format, with Spanish subtitles].
The Observatory Archives thematic areas include:
Identity and MassMedia.
Globalisation and Resistance: Argentina, Palestine, South Africa, Iraq, Chechnya, the Anti-Globalisation movement, and the Landless People’s movement.
Heterodoxies and Autonomous Zones (TAZ) different ways of thinking, living, communities….other worlds far from the “there is no alternative” single ideology.
The Cathode Ray - Media Guerrillas - television, media critique, intercepted information and counter information, media attacks, found footage, media archaeology, media deconstruction, scientific archaeology…
Lost in Babylon: the adventures and misadventures of survivors of the Empire.
Colonial Tourism - the phenomenon of tourism (image plundering, hijacked territories, tele-transportation, gift of ubiquity, theme parks….)
Borders - Migration, cross-cultures, deculturalisation, nomadism and globalisation. The militarisation of borders. Illegal in paradise. Europe-Maghreb, USA-Latin America.
Work and ideology - Work and capital, politics and reality, imagery of progress, the taboo of representing workplaces.
September 11th, 2001- works on video or digital format that reflect on the events, including unedited material, media coverage and artistic projects.
Babylon Archives - media archaeology, documents that reflect some of the most aggressive and intolerant values of contemporary western culture and its sources: educational and business documentaries, early television advertising, TV-evangelists, marketing, promotional travel videos, castings for advertising, etc.
Death - Culture and experience. Rituals. Audiovisual projects and found footage.
Trance rituals - Religion - edited videos, camera tapes or found footage that document trance rituals (dikr, haddras, Santeria, voodoo , preachers,...etc).
Islam - View of the Other - other images, other information about a culture that has been almost exclusively represented through western eyes.
Cities - Portraits of cities - scenes from daily life, home, the workplace, memories...
Machine Land - Deconstruction of technology, machine conspiracy, digital euphoria, corporate vandalism.
Dream Archives - Stories of dreams, the imaginary of an age, desires, conflicts, madness, pleasures...etc.

Michel Foucault, Guy Debord, Eduard Said, Hakim Bey, George Bataille, William Burroughs, Gilles Deleuze - Works directly or indirectly related to the work of these authors.
