Video artist Mandy Morrison In collaboration with curator Aleem Allison, fostered the idea of creating a ‘patched together’ video quilt from selected videos through an “Open Call” process. The idea is to explore themes commonly portrayed in traditional quilts, such as comfort, friendship, nature, gratitude, history, inequality, and loss. These individual short images/videos are organized -through randomized algorithms in software- into a larger projected time-based media collage.
