1. Javier Maculet. "Radio SRCO", Spain.

Concomitance, is the current draft of this artist. His work recomposes the feeling space-time: loops and sampling in several different tempos, images of spaces discarded by studding architecture and recordings that give a sensory experience and invite to contemplate and, at the same time, generate free mental associations. In this "Time Stretching" he shows impossible buildings thanks to dissolution techniques, overlapping and pixelization, recycling images already created by others.

3. Juan Carlos de la Parra. "Transmigraciones", Mexico.

Trans-migration is a short experimental video that combines animation techniques with recording on video. In one way, it is about the human decontextualisation in urban cities, at the same time, about the Migration phenomenon. By showing the protagonists in a world of isolation and alienation, there is a great loneliness. At the same time a considerable part of the world's population migrates to other countries or regions in search of better opportunities. This process is perceived as a constant transit, solitary, in all directions. There is also a metaphorical representation of migration that connects the two main sections of the video: a tree that has butterflies instead of leaves, which are migratory beings in nature. The music of the piece was produced using sound environmental videos, and was complemented by algorithmic compositions based on the movement of the characters.

 

4. Shakinda. "Mix", Ireland.

This piece is a personal reflection, how events in the world, in global politics and my own experience in Belfast have made me very frustrated and "like throwing my hands up in the air" but in those dark moments meditating on and remembering exciting and inspirational moments in history when God's love has triumphed gives me hope to carry on believing and hoping that in that peace and love and being filled by Holy Spirit.

The camera hovers above the entire panorama and focuses on details in the everyday life of this rapidly changing metropolis
