Video has been an integral part of CYFEST festivals since 2007. For 2024, four collaborators have been invited to curate a video program, each interwoven with the exhibition and expressing its theme in cinematic form. Mu Tuan, an independent curator and visual artist based in Taipei, has assembled a program featuring Taiwanese artists with diverse perspectives on memory, cartography, alchemy, nostalgia, virtual relationships, and gaming. Gabriel V. Soucheyre, the artistic director at VIDEOFORMES, Hybrid and Digital International Arts Festival in France, has shaped a program that provides a platform for discussing the future of humanity and the contradictions of the contemporary human condition. Victoria Ilyushkina, curator of the CYLAND Video Archive, has created a selection of videos that explore how artists preserve, understand, and transform different types of information: individual, collective, historical, socio-cultural, bio- and technological, in both analog and digital formats. Seungah Lee, director of Urban Art Lab in Seoul, has gathered contemporary Korean artists in a project exploring the technology and language of VR and video. The video program will take place at Mirzoyan Library and Varpet, while the VR works are available within the main exhibition venue at HayArt Centre.
