Quote: "My idea was to finish the doctorate program and return to Galicia, but I finished in 2008 and I am still here. This city has something that either captures or alienates you... I've been captured."

Quote: "I am not going to say Madrid is like a village, because it isn't, but when it comes to developing my career as a filmmaker it is both in New York and in Los Angeles where I am going to find the possibilities to do the type of film I want to do."

Festival Internacional de Videoarte en Madrid. 

Proyector 2011 – 4º Festival Internacional de Videoarte (11-17 de julio, Madrid) 
Comisario: Mario Gutiérrez Cru 

Ésta es una muestra de vídeo albergada por varias salas en la ciudad de Madrid, en donde podrán verse proyecciones y exposiciones de diversos videoartistas actuales de dentro y fuera de España. De forma paralela se desarrollarán otro tipo de actividades y eventos, tales como talleres, seminarios y encuentros, que abrirán espacios de reflexión y debate acerca del vídeo como medio artístico.

(…). Un acontecimiento que lo es también en el sentido de que se refiere precisamente al comenzar a darse de la imagen, de la representación, como un acontecer, como un transcurrir, como el diferirse mismo de la diferencia, no como algo definitiva y estáticamente dado, siempre idéntico a sí mismo. Jose Luis Brea.

“Transformaciones contemporáneas de la imagen-movimiento: postfotografía, postcinema, postmedia.”

La joven lozanía del vídeo contemporáneo puede ponerse en cuestión si se bucea en el nacimiento del cine. Es ahí, a principios del siglo XX, donde se encuentran experiencias (como las de Viking Eggeling, Walter Ruttmann, Dziga Vertov,…), que asientan bases para el aspecto más experimental del medio, escapando de la linealidad narrativa y centrándose en el atractivo, ya no tanto de las posibilidades de una mimetización con el suceso real, si no de esa nueva dimensión del movimiento en la que se pueden instrumentar y coordinar los elementos sonoros y visuales en la pantalla-plano.
