Each year, VIDEOFORMES joins forces with its institutional partners to award 3 prizes: the Prix VIDEOFORMES de la Ville de Clermont-Ferrand, the Prix VIDEOFORMES du Conseil Départemental du Puy-de-Dôme and the Prix VIDEOFORMES de l’Université Clermont Auvergne.
The Émergences Vidéo – Pépinières Européennes de la Création Prize is awarded to a work by an artist under 36 years of age.
Born in 1971, USSR. Victoria Ilyushkina is an artist and curator, holding a diploma in Art History and Theory from the Academy of Fine Arts, as well as a diploma in New Media Programs from the Pro Arte Institute in St. Petersburg, Russia. Additionally, she has been a jury member for several international film and video festivals. Currently, Victoria is the program curator for the CYLAND Video Archive and International Cyfest video programs. Her curatorial research interests focus on studying the mutual influence and transition from analogue media in film and video art to digital media, along with its further transformation using 3D and AI technologies in time-based art.
Stéphane Le Garff, artistic director of Nyktalop Mélodie and the OFNI Festival, and a visual photographer, is developing a transmedia practice that explores the original materials on which the photographic and kinetic image is based, reviving its primary role of revealing invisible worlds. Through ongoing research into light, often crossed with the representation of the body and movement, his universe is nourished by visual games that are always produced by hand, using optical filters, transmedia, silver and digital tools or live performances.
He is also co-president of the ASTRE visual arts network in New Aquitaine and a lecturer at EMCA Angoulême.
Sung Nam HAN creates single channel videos, installations using blue background keying, AR photo /video works, art performances, and installations based on the theme of blue. She has staged a video x theater x dance art performance based on the concept of “Super Linear.”
She won the Excellence Award at Image Forum Festival, the Media Artist Award at Seoul International New Media Festival (NEMAF). She has had numerous solo and group exhibitions in Japan and abroad. She also directs and curates her own events related to interdisciplinary Art. First director of Japan Undersea Art Museum (JUAM), she is the representative of Interdisciplinary Art Festival Tokyo (2014-), Art in Country of Tokyo (2019-), and Interdisciplinary Art Project Kobe (2019-).
