It is a presentation of slowly but continuously changing videos. In a certain meaning the exhibition is the continuation of the Lightbox topic, as the images lit from the background seem to start moving.
The installation renders the moving images a material pesence similar to paintings or photos by showing them separately and simultaneously on monitors or projections.
The works of art belonging to the above-mentioned category have a feature which is worth examining more thoroughly: namely, their conceptual and formal differences determine the way of their presentation. It is not the same whether we see videos in a cinema, as part of an installation, or as moving pictures.
This classification corresponds to a certain extent to the possible conceptual-formal structures: a video can be narrative, it its beginning and end are significant; A series of figurative or abstract images, closely bound to their enviroment; or the observation of phenomena within the medium, within the electronic space.

Pál Tóth
born in Békéscsaba 1963, lives and works in Budapest and Berlin
In his videos, computer graphics, mural works and installations he composes complex visual and acoustic structures. A kind of „sample-pirating” from elements of the internet, design and advertisements.
born in Gyöngyös 1972, lives and works in Budapest
For a long time the backbone of her work has been technical experimentation and the analysis and visual re-creation of electronic images. All this is accompanied by a poetic and at the same time reduced pictorial world.
born in Novi Sad 1979, lives and works in Budapest
Although her works are conceptually firmly based, they have a spontaneous impact. For her artistic media are means of intuition and deeper understanding.
born in Budapest 1972, lives and works in Budapest
Thoroughly exploring a theme he visualises natural phenomena and philosophical theories in and between different media - sculpture, video and photograph - in an astonishing way

born in Miskolc 1967, lives and works in Budapest
His rich and manifold pictorial oeuvre serves as a basis for animations from time to time. The results are sovereign and exciting moving images spanning over genres, which suggest apparent temporal and story-telling connections among the paintings.
