In February 2015 CMIR began to initiate artists discussion lists under the name Artists Moving Image Exchange Network (AMEN). By 2018 another initiative had begun which was the Facebook group for professional curators and artists Reinventing Moving Image Art.
Historically experimental film makers have sought to understand the mechanics and material form of their medium, certain analogue video makers in the early day's typified by social concerns and changing society had a mind directed towards understanding the ebb and flow of electronic change - and latterly digital video makers had some engagement with non-linear edit systems and certainly computationally oriented artists sought to understand the basis of the medium, but new data cinematographically oriented makers would be hard pressed to keep up with technical changes.
This will not exclude the production of 'Glitch Art' which takes advantage of the inadequacies of the medium when pushed beyond its technical limitations. Nor will it exclude resurgent and perhaps nostalgic photochemical gestures - as all are about the impulses to make art with images and sound.
It is Moving Image Arts Research's intent to start a process of information exchange by setting up discussion lists that makers and artists can use to exchange information and also use its resources - you'll find a seminal form of this on CMIR's site under the Resources tab above.
