This selection for CeC'11 has been possible thanks to Diversity Art Forum:
DIVERSITY ART FORUM is an organization that supports art projects nationally and internationally. It is the diversity of the medium rather than cultural background of artists or groups that Diversity Art Forum is interested in. Diversity Art Forum aims to encourage various debates in the projects it supports.
Kooj traverses a range of disciplines. Such as video and digital media practice and teaching; cultural development; as a creative producer; a collaborative audio-visual project consultant for museums; and in education, curriculum and learning development.

What If I’m Not Real. A collaborative film by the v02 collective: directed by Kooj Chuhan: a virtual migrants production
As if from a dream, a poet’s narration gives life to three masked figures each on a raft at sea, emerging across a landless and timeless space. The intertwined conflicts between a parent, a child and officialdom are emotively played out with bloody consequences to create a provocative physical drama, which allows a simple and human understanding of asylum and global terror to take place. Made with remembrance for the 58 human souls from China who tragically suffocated in a lorry container whilst trying to enter Britain in June 2000.

Buy this. An installation by Kooj (Kuljit) Chuhan, with collaborative support from Virtual Migrants.
A self-interacting and live-updated two-screen video installation produced for The Centre Cannot Hold project by Virtual Migrants. This project discusses the ways in which Climate Change is a continuation of imperialist processes that have been active for a few hundred years. Destruction of human beings along with their environment on a large scale is nothing new, and climate change is perhaps the most sanitised way in which ‘third’ economies will be decimated by the omnipresent culture of greed led by the first economies. This installation continually juxtaposes found historical and news footage from the internet with contemporary patterns of over-consumption and the addiction to commodify everything. It uses randomising software and jagged editing techniques to create a sense of raw footage being presented, as well as the creation of a social space and use of locally found materials. The viewer is invited to buy this imagery of difficult narratives and juxtapositions and commodify it, by simply being an observer consuming it.
Buy this. Kooj (Kuljit) Chuhan, with collaborative support from Virtual Migrants.
The direction of my practice is to combine the fundamentals of historical immersive spaces with modern digital projection technologies, thus resulting in spatial immersion within a virtual environment. The use of the white expanse manufactures a sense of being within a contemporary gallery setting. This arrangement promotes a physical distance between the digital sculpture (projection) and the participant, which is similar to that of viewing traditional physical sculpture. This parallel is important to the nature of the piece and a reflection on how digital immateriality can be manipulated to represent the physical world as well as being an antithesis of it.

Diazepam. Dolo Piqueras

Kromo Xoma. Laura Rodriguez Moscatel
This work deals with the idea of duality and multiple identities. Through the exposition of the body in a comical way, the video conveys the idea of the use of the body as an object in order to express ourselves and our personality; a personality that is always in constant change and transformation.

Geometric Translation. Rous Hernández
Geometric Translation is the digital extension of Domestic Geometrie. The idea is to manipulate and animate the patterns of the mosaics of the traditional hydraulic flagstones. The work originates from a similar two-dimensional painting idea: playing with colour, forms, lines, dots and surface to compose geometric mosaics.

"Places die like men, even when they appear to survive" Joubert
The metaphor of the habitat and the inhabited always has its variations, between the inside and the outside, what begins to appear on the landscape as something disturbing, unknown, unwanted, forgotten dream, novel, that live is always developed, to be alive.
