WHERE: Westward Cottage, 8 Turner Street, Ryde
The 59 Seconds Video Festival was launched in 2005 by Project 59 (Irina Danilova & Hiram Levy) at 59 Franklin Street in Tribeca, NYC. 59 videos at a time, 59 seconds each were shown 59 times around the globe.
A great opportunity for artists experimenting with new technologies and applications, during this new Al era, to build a bridge with the generation of artists experimenting with video in the early 2000s.
Join us in the historical atmosphere of Westward Cottage to watch new works by Peter Callas, Cinzia Cremona, Fiona Davies and Naomi Oliver in dialogue with a great selection of international videos. Enjoy sharing a drink with some of the artists and the founders of Project 59 visiting from New York City.

"Body Waves Morph #60/107," will tour to exhibit at the American Corner in Qarshi from January 22 to May 21, 2026.
A pioneer in digital sculpture and visual experimentation, Shim Sham is set to participate in the Techspressionism Round Tables at the American Makerspace in Qarshi on May 21, 2026. She will join fellow artists Lucy Boyd-Wilson and Annette Weintraub in a discussion on digital sculpture and world creation, sharing insights into her creative process and the tools she employs.
The upcoming event aims to engage students and young artists, leveraging the new Makerspace to foster innovation and experimentation in digital art. Participants will explore software and hardware tools, with Shim Sham expected to discuss her platform preferences and artistic techniques.
As a prominent figure in the Techspressionism movement, Cari Ann Shim Sham continues to push boundaries, blending technology and art to create immersive, thought-provoking works. Her participation highlights the vibrant and evolving landscape of digital art in Central Asia and beyond.
The CAMUZ Digital Screen Artists Digital Screen program prepared for CAMUZ in Uzbekistan is traveling. After successful showings in Urgench and Samarkand, the US Embassy is arranging for a screening of the video at “the American Corner” in Qarshi.
The Digital Reel will be shown during the Grand Opening of a new Makerspace in the center on January 22.
An event that celebrates the relationship between digital technology and humanity, featuring 20 local New York artists.

Two Seconds After Laughter
Sunday, February 2, 2025 7:00 PM PST
Barnsdall Gallery Theater
As part of its 25th Anniversary as a Los Angeles institution, DCW will honor legendary L.A. based choreographer/writer/director/filmmaker David Roussève on Sunday, February 2, 2025 with a retrospective screening of David’s award-winning dance films, followed by an invite only cocktail reception in his honor.
The third film by director/writer/choreographer David Roussève, "Two Seconds After Laughter" is an original intersection of dance-for-camera, docu-drama, and dream-like fantasy that creates a border-jumping dialogue on a universal irony: The heart longs most for the one place to which it can never fully return… home. With a narrative inspired by choreographer Sri Susilowati's experience of leaving Indonesia to become a dancer in America, "Two Seconds…" weaves stunning cinematography shot in Java and edited by Cari Ann Shim Sham*, traditional Indonesian dance, postmodern Sundanese music, and an emotionally-potent narrative.
"Two Seconds" screened at 45 film festivals in 11 countries and received 10 awards including four for “Best Film”.
Two Seconds After Laughter
Filmed in Java in residency at Indonesian Institute of the Arts, Yogyakarta
Directed, written, co-choreographed by David Roussève
An informal showing of hovering, cari ann’s new generative dance work about holding and being held, being between here and there, with no where to land.
Dec 11th at 9am at NYU Tisch Dance 111 2nd ave, 5th floor, Jack Crystal Theater
The documentary film Obsessed with Light about Loïe Fuller will have its theatrical release Dec 6-15, 2024 at the Quad Cinema
It showcases cari ann’s live feedback looping, live projection mapping and interactive/generative video art work for Fractal Memories by Time Lapse Dance ensemble.
Obsessed with Light is a meditation on light and the enduring obsession to create. The film pulls back the curtain on Loïe Fuller, a wildly original performer who revolutionized the visual culture of the early 20th century. Creating a dialogue between the past and the present, the documentary delves into the astonishing influence Fuller's work has on contemporary culture and showcases cari ann's live video loop, mapping and interactive work in Fractal Memories by Time Lapse Dance ensemble,
