"VIDEOLINER" is the name of a collective created in 2012 by Jessica Angel and Laura Ramirez (a.k.a. Optika). Jessica is a NY
based contemporary artist with experience in drawing, painting and large-scale
mural works and Laura is a video artist, based in Bogota who focuses on live
performances and video-mapping projection experiments. Through this
collaborative initiative we aim to dynamically merge our skills to generate new
AV censorial languages.
Art has been created using a great variety of techniques in
order to fulfill different intentions. Let’s take the cave paintings as one of
the many examples where mural painting served to the purpose of meaningful
events and ceremonies. The medium and the purpose take their place in time. We
are interested in exploring this relationship between time, medium, place and
purpose, by creating site-specific projects that engage the media of our time
with people who celebrate art and life.
Videoliner’s first project ENTER THE WALL was carried out in
December 2012 in a 23' x 65' feet (7 x 20 mts) outdoors parking lot wall in Bogotá. Inspired
in Archigram and retro versions of the future, this black and white mural done
with acrylic paint and video-mapped with colorful animations, worked as a screen
that divided the real space against an artificially created depth. Like Alice
through the looking glass, the piece invited people to cross the wall and enter
an imaginative world.
