Videopool is excited to announce the 4th Video Commission Residency, VCR Vol.4: Attrition. VCR supports the creation of new experimental screen-based works, inviting submissions from artists for a single-channel video responding to the theme of Attrition.
Attrition describes a condition shaped by sustained contact and duration, in images, in materials, in environments. Form and meaning change through processes that accumulate over time.
For this edition, artists are encouraged to consider how images and environments are worn down through use. Attention can move between the material image and the conditions that shape it. Surfaces erode. Signals weaken. Memory distorts. Landscapes, both physical and digital, carry traces of prolonged stress, circulation, and extraction.
Artists may work with analog or digital processes, or move between both. Proposals should focus on how the accumulation of processes alters the visual, engaging feedback systems, compression, copying, translation, repeated handling, or other similar processes. Each iteration produces difference; each transfer leaves a trace.
deadline: June 14, 2026 11:59PM
