Place: Monument to Colon.
Video-intervention number 17
Name: Supporting moral (o botellón mestizo).
Situation: Videoman proyects Ecuatorian karaokes songs in a Madrid "botellón" (a gruop of young people dinking on the street).
Place: Plaza Vázquez de Mella (Chueca)
Video-intervention 18
Name: Artistic solidarity
Situation: Supporting colleagues: Santiago Cirugeda’s video was downloaded from Internet and we projected on his piece, then we tried to project Jota Castro’s “Incas’ moneybox” on the facade of the Spanish Bank. This piece wants to reimburse the gold that was stolen to the Incas and has been retired because it was vandalized. Unfortunately, and for technical reasons that I ignore we couldn’t project it, and we couldn’t demand the money. It seems like they don’t want to give it back.
Place: Paseo de Recoletos and Banco de España.
Video-intervention 19
Name: Parasitic projection (or “mexicaning” the neighbour).
Situation: During a cocktail in Casa de América for a Brazilian photographer that is exhibiting in the next room, Videoman projected the history of his own piece to take advantage of event’s mass appeal. In this case, without electrical autonomy, using the place’s light.
Place: Casa de América.
Video-intervention 20
Name: Demonstrating opinions
Situation: The Partido Popular (right wing conservative party- in Spain) made some very controversial statements about reducing the penal age to 12 years, increase surveillance and more police presence. During the day the opinions of some citizens were recorded reflecting on such statements and at night they were projected on the PP’s headquarters.
Place: Génova street.
