Video Pool Media Arts Centre, in collaboration with aceartinc. presents:
Perry Bard
"Man with a Movie Camera: The Global Remake"
Exhibition Dates: February 02-23, 2012

"Man with a Movie Camera: The Global Remake" is a participatory web
and public video installation re-interpreting the original 1929
avant-guard documentary “Man With a Movie Camera” by Dziga Vertov.
“The Global Remake” illuminates the capabilities of the internet to
achieve global collaboration by encouraging culturally diverse
participation. The piece includes footage shot by people around the
world creating infinite possible versions of the film. As new videos
stream online  each contribution becomes part of a worldwide montage,
in Vertov’s terms the “decoding of life as it is”.
