“Increasingly, media is breaking down into digestible bytes of data that make their rounds not in movie theaters or on television sets, but on computers, cell phones and iPods. A common denominator among these current forms of media is the download and upload file size limit of 20 megabytes, a fractional capacity that necessitates compression of quality and concision of content.

MASS is taking these small video files and bringing them back to the TV.

For 20MB, curators Aaron Dubrow (Austin) and M.F. Tichy (New York) solicited videos under 20 megabytes in file size from over 20 international artists, including animators, documentary and experimental filmmakers, painters and new media artists, all drawn from national and global telematic pathways.
Among the artists included in the exhibition are Paul Pfeiffer, Mike Smith, Oliver Herring, Cauleen Smith, Thomas Comerford, Mckendree Key, Alexander Stewart, Timothy Hutchings, Elizabeth Huey, Karen Skloss, Roberto Bellini, Sarah Frantz, Jill Pangallo, and many more.

The resulting videos will be on view at MASS Gallery (916 Springdale Road, Austin, Texas) from October 13th to November 9th, with an opening from 8p.m. to midnight on Friday, October 13th.”

Mass Gallery is open Wednesdays 7-10pm and Satudays 1-5pm.
