This year BAC!CAM has been born as a special section dedicated to this contemporary artistic genre exhibited in four sections. CAM CENTER presents works selected from those participating in the Festival’s competition, while CAM REDES is dedicated on the exhibited videos of the distinct art spaces that form BAC! REDES. AFTER URBAN, features a selection of the contemporary emerging video art creation, while GLOCALIDADES, consists of a selection of Peruvian video art. Moreover, the Sala SAM from Santiago de Chile presents especially for BAC “Circuit” a show of global video-art by Valentina Serrato, Nycoukatiushka, Nicolás Grum, and Mauricio Garrido. These videos will be also screened in CCCB during BAC! CENTER.
