MICROVIDS - gary deirmendjian

as an artist it has become essential to find means to connect directly with a broader public, one-to-one, free of any obligation, mediation or justification, and preferably in more public and openly shared space. i came to appreciate social media as just that, public space, with YT serving as the first platform for my engagement.
 
tiny video works began to emerge from an ever growing pool of raw footage, captured in response to happenings and sensed truths in the incidentals of daily encounter. these i began to call MICROVIDS, and between 2008 and 2018 some 97 were created. 
 
largely enticed by the moment, any raw footage was typically captured on a mobile phone [Nokia N95, N97, iPhone 4s and iPhone 7] and edited towards a MICROVID using iMovie. they all reside here, their unconditional depository.

together they come close amongst my makings to more fully portray my being, my truth and meaning, and as such i do hope that they may carry something for you …
