Time is love Screening is an annual exhibition of projectable videos from an international selection of artists active around the world. The screening explicitly emphasizes the idea of love in these hard times and socio-cultural interference, the way in which technology and society give rise to new forms of artistic expression by using the new media.
The project aims to consider the work of these artists as part of the global phenomenon that is contemporary art, and asks the audience to reflect upon how the time that led to the production of these works was formed. Conceptually diverse, emotionally incisive and visually inventive, the selected works transform the most familiar video art into an illuminating investigation of contemporary culture.
Time is Love.4 brings to the world a refreshing perspective on video art.

Now entering its third year, Low Lives is an annual, international exhibition of live performance-based works transmitted via the internet and projected in real time at multiple venues simultaneously. The project celebrates both the transmission of ideas beyond geographical borders, and also what is blurred, gained, or reconfigured in the process as we communicate and present ourselves online. The lo-fi aesthetic, with its pixilated images, low sound quality, and the ever-present potential for “technical difficulties,” is an integral aspect of communication via contemporary web technology, and also of this exhibit. Low Lives offers global audiences a critical and contextual frame from which to consider live performance in virtual space.
+ info: www.lowlives.netSince its inception in 2009, Low Lives has presented live performances by 59 artists and artist collectives from 16 countries including Argentina, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, England, France, Germany, Italy, Macedonia, Mexico, New Zealand, Singapore, Trinidad and Tobago, United States and Vietnam. Over 13 arts organizations have supported and presented Low Lives including El Museo del Barrio, NYC; Aljira, A Center for Contemporary Art, Newark; Galería de la Raza, San Francisco; Fusebox Festival, Austin; Disapora Vibe Gallery, Miami; Obsidian Arts, Minneapolis, and labotanica, Houston.

The 22 artists included in Low Lives: Selections work in a wide variety of media including performance, video, installation, conceptual art, sound art, process art, web art, photography, sculpture and painting. The videos presented here are documents of their live performances. The themes they address here are widely varied, yet they each explore aspects of our human and social makeup, as well as our relationship with technology. Ultimately, Low Lives raises the question- what does it mean to be human at a time when the separation between humans and machines is increasingly diminishing? I hope you are as inspired by these artists’ performances as I have been.
