Now & After’23
International Video Art Festival Now&After'23 presents a special project "Dis-placed Landscapes" created within collaboration of Now&After Festival and the Waley Art Center for Contemporary Art in Taipei, Taiwan.
"Dis-placed Landscapes" is an exhibition of Taiwanese video artists which will be held on CCI Fabrika 14.11-10.12.2023.
Curator of the exhibition: Huang Yi Hsuan
Project director: Peng Tsai-Hsun
Now&After director&curator: Marina Fomenko
The exhibition "Dis-placed Landscapes" brings together works of eight Taiwanese video artists and art groups developed on the topics of human beings, natural ecology and the environment. The exhibition aims to emphasize the “displacement” of the “landscape” seen from someone’s eyes. “Landscapes” serves as a metaphor for the “changing scenes” of environment and ecology, reflecting the views of the artists and how it embodies the posture of the viewers.

Now & After’22
The 11th edition of the Now&After International Video Art Festival will be held from July 14 to August 15, 2022 at the Fabrika Center for Creative Industries.
The theme of Now&After’22 is THE POSSIBLE AND THE IMPOSSIBLE.
"The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible."
Arthur C. Clarke, Technology and the Future
We do not know the limits of the possible, but upon waking up one day, we may find ourselves across the Rubicon, in the impossible. And then suddenly it would turn out that we have not entered the beautiful future of flights to the stars and cities in oceans, but have fallen into the embodied dystopian nightmare of the great science-fiction writers.
“Too much imagination is much rarer than too little,” Arthur C. Clarke notes in the same book. Lack of imagination cannot cope with envisioning the future and therefore often generates catastrophes in the present. For artists, this principle works the other way around, and a developed imagination gives them a glimpse into the present, the past, and the future. Video artists from different countries reveal new facets of the possible and the impossible in everyday and social life, in personal relationships and observations of non-human creatures living alongside us, in nature and in virtual reality, in memories and possible future.
Artists would like to change the world for the better with their work, whether they are looking at it through the eyes of a poet or explore the possibility of evil entering it. Alas, not everything is within their control; cruelty and violence remain companions of our lives, but as long as the portals from the possible to the impossible remain open to the imagination soaring towards the future, to kind feelings, love, and poetry, we will believe in the triumph of good.

This year International Video Art Festival Now&After reviews the intermediate results of its first seven years and takes place without open call.
“Flashback’17” is a look both into the past and the future with the pause in the present. In 2017, we'd like to remember the best works and presenting their retrospective, as well as to show the new projects by the participants of the Festival previous editions. After all, a flashback is a deviation from the routine for a look back. This year our audience will see video works of 47 Russian and foreign artists.
At CCI Fabrika Olivier Hall we will present the namesake exhibition “Flashback’17”. It comprises new works of artists already participated in the Now&After Festival, including the previous editions' winners.
