"Art is very much like rock'n'roll you basically have to be able to dance to it in order for it to exist"
(Lawrence Weiner, SIKSI 1995)

The distinction in recent contemporary art between what constitutes a "pop video" and what is "video art" has become blurred to the point at which grey areas begin to arise. The implications of this cross cultural shift are both seductive and problematic, opening up new areas of discussion and debate around band branding, the commodification of art and the question of whether this type of cross-cultural inbreeding leads to cultural perdition?

Metallic KO will offer Scottish and Finnish artists working across the field of audio-visual culture an opportunity to present their work within a critical enviroment, while offering an audience the opportunity to
experience and participate in a diverse range of contemporary art and music performances and debate. MORE INFO!
