PLAY is PULSE’s dedicated showcase for video and new media, serving as a platform to encourage discovery within the digital realm. Following the success of the last two year’s call for submissions, 2018 marked the third collaboration between PULSE and curators Wahi and Jampol.
As selected by the curators, the theme for 2018’s edition of PULSE PLAY was “A Violence,” a theme the curators chose to define in a broad sense, inviting artists to explore the multiple ways to interpret and contextualize the idea of violence beyond its physical definition. Contexts include: an internalized violence, a trauma, a political violence, a societal violence, a systemic violence, an intimate violence, and more.
Rebecca Pauline Jampol is a Curator, Designer, and Co-Director of Project For Empty Space.
