As part of Sleepless Video Art Night 2025 in Venice, CYLAND presents a curated screening of works from its long-standing media art platform, the CYLAND Video Archive, established in 2008. This program brings together video works from various years that reflect on the fundamental dimensions of human experience within today’s evolving technological landscape.

The selected works delve into imagined and remembered realms—distant and intimate, emotional and virtual. The featured artists explore love, the illusory bond between soul and body in digital space, historical and social memory, and the architecture of both past and future. They also venture into speculative, cybernetic landscapes, crafting poetic reflections on the intersections of technology, identity, and perception.

Participating artists:

Virginia L. Montgomery, Francesca Fini, Lidiya Rikker, Sid Iandovka & Anna Tsyrlina, Lera Nibiru, Regina Hüebner, Anna Sowa & Gohar Sargsyan, Marc Lee, Vika Ilyushkina, Polina Komyagina, Guilherme Bergamini, Tanya Akhmetgalieva, AUJIK, Di Hu, Anton Khlabov, Alek Borisov, Juan Poyuan, Mariateresa Sartori.
