USAGES OF FORMATS IN FILM AND VIDEO ART

The symposium “Taking Measures” is dedicated to the epistemic and discursive practices of measurement in film and video art. Here, the focus is placed on artistic works and practices in which the technologies and ideologies of measurement, their many validity claims and areas of application, are addressed through the use of formats.
