Curating the Future Through Rooted Experimental Practices

interlaced.tv is an online platform dedicated to advancing dialogue around analog video practices. It functions as both a curated exhibition space and a dynamic environment for artists, makers, and enthusiasts engaged in innovative and unconventional approaches to video art. By embracing resistance and imperfection, interlaced.tv celebrates independent and experimental works that interrogate the materiality and unpredictability of the moving image.

Conceived as a biannual platform with a fall edition and a spring edition, interlaced.tv unfolds through two curated moments each year. The first edition brought together a selection of pioneering artists and emerging voices, offering a focused exploration of video’s potential as a transformative artistic medium. The program challenged conventions by embracing error, chance, and the organic–technical interplay, creating experiences that were as unpredictable as they were captivating.

At its core, interlaced.tv is driven by an audience development approach rooted in community-building, continuity, and transmission. The platform seeks to create welcoming and sustained spaces for encounter, exchange, and shared curiosity around experimental video practices. Across successive editions, interlaced.tv fosters intergenerational dialogue, bringing together established practitioners, emerging artists, and new audiences in a shared process of learning and unlearning.

Looking toward the future, the platform embraces a long-term vision shaped by slow growth, collective memory, and care—imagining the future of moving-image practices not as a fixed horizon, but as an evolving, porous space shaped by those who gather, experiment, and pass knowledge forward.
