What is first person:
First Person is a collaborative curatorial project by Carla Herrera-Prats, Michael Mandiberg, and Anne-Julie Raccoursier. This curated DVD foregrounds 12 young video artists in Mexico City and Los Angeles who are working with their own bodies in a hybrid space between video and performance. The artists included are Arturo Castelan, Ximena Cuevas, Sharon Hayes, Carla Herrera-Prats and Julia Steinmetz, Justin Lincoln, Michael Mandiberg, Rodney MacMillian, Amaranta Sanchez, Anne Walsh and Natalie Zimmerman. This project exists as an edition of 1000 DVDs, which we are currently screening and distributing. We have re-purposed the DVD’s menu/scripting structure to create an interactive visual essay combining photographs, video, audio, and text. Our goal is to distribute the 1000 edition of this DVD to a broader audience, via screenings, festivals, and via our website: http://theredproject.com/firstperson/ How to get a copy:
