'STAETIONARY' is a group exhibition composed of participants from France and Korea coming together to explore the nature of film in area where the bar to access filmmaking equipment continues to be lowered. Office equipment- desktop computers, mobile phones, projectors, and more- are becoming the tools of the trade and changing the landscape for experimental filmmakers and artists. 

"This project takes its cue from an observation that can be made by most; what is considered to be the practice of cinema (and even more so, video) is based on the use of office equipment. The hope and intention is that it is a means of deconstructing the hierarchies of the production of time based art projects, in a wonky parallel of the way these objects have redefined the work environment.

The computers used to edit, the telephones to shoot footage, the projectors used to show digital media are all concieved as machines to work in the office. It seems a long way from the exclusivity of the film equipment used in the past, inaccessible and very expensive, needing a good deal of technical expertise to put together. Even though there are still expensive technically challenging means to make films and video available and in use amongst the « professionals », the basis of the means of production is increasingly determined by the use of binary code." 

David Kidman,  Professor of Cinema and Video at the University of Art and Design TALM.
