One more year, selected ELMUR.NET videos will participate at ESPACIO ENTER FESTIVAL due to be celebrated in Santa Cruz de Tenerife (ES).

The presented ELMUR.NET videos have been selected from its videoart and creative video archive under the title: “A look at what surrounds us” , being “Perception” its common theme. “A look at what surrounds us” presents a series of videos that reflect around what we see, how we see it and how it can be interpreted. From shapes to expectations, veils and masquerades, to hidden and invisible realities. Nine pieces that talk about us as individuals, as citizens and as human beings which immersed in the information and communication era, overloaded by visual stimulus, might have been blinded and even shaped by false appearances.

ESPACIO ENTER is an international meeting of all sectors related to art, digital culture and ideas that allow us to design the future of technological innovation. Within this context, elmur.net will be presented next to a selection of the best visual pieces of the major festivals of new media and technology like the Japan Media Arts Festival, Art Futura, Ars Electronica and the Google Streaming Museum among other international audiovisual festivals. ESPACIO ENTER is hosted at TEA a wonderful location in the heart of Santa Cruz de Tenerife (Canary Islands - ES).
