The Video Composition Workshop (VCW) is dedicated to artists composing for video in a workshop environment.

VCW explores how contemporary artists conceptualize formal compositions for video or video with other media, including organizational concepts and logic, scoring-techniques and methods, and performative video vocabulary.

VCW provides a salon setting where multidisciplinary artists can discuss concepts, learn historical precedents, demonstrate their work, and potentially collaborate.  VCW culminates in a performance of the resulting experiments, works-in-progress, or completed pieces.

Major criteria for artist participation is:

-      Interest in working with video composition
-      Interest in pieces/techniques having a tangible compositional logic
-      A background in their own discipline of composing / choreographing / architecting / writing / etc.

Technical knowledge of or direct experience with video is helpful but not necessary.

Diapason Gallery Modular Collaboration, led by Daniel Neumann, is a free five day workshop in which participants work together to create individual works under an overall theme that will culminate in a live performance or installation in which all the works are presented simultaneously as part of a larger piece utilizing the full ...capacity of Diapason’s special multi-channel sound systems. Modular collaboration enacts non-hierarchical and decentralized forms of organization that question the concept of the single composing genius. In development since 2006, Modular Collaboration draws inspiration from works with open scores, group improvisation and the practices of relational aesthetics– emphasis of process, performativity, openness, social contexts, transitivity and the production of dialogue over the closure of traditional modernist objecthood, visuality and hyper- individualism.
