About the selection
Memory is the precondition of narrative, and when it is disturbed or it is malfunctioning, narratological coherence and efficiency suffer as well. In fact, narration not only depends on memory. It is inherently constructed by it as well, as seen in the omnipresence of memory-based techniques like retroversion or flashback – in any narrative.
By recalling or recognizing previous experiences, "Transiting Memories" is trying to deliberate the relation between time and space, reality and fiction from different perspectives - increasing the imaginary with sarcasm and absurdity.
These works are compiling personal and collective histories, returning time and time again to memories of the past, that establish in addition a highly personalized image repertory of our time.
About the festival
 SIMULTAN FESTIVAL
for electronic arts and music
Timisoara, Romania
Initiated by a group of artists (Huba Antal, Levente Kozma, Alin Rotariu, Szilard Szoke, Sorin Vreme), the SIMULTAN Festival was born with the aim of creating a platform for contemporary cultural projects which use technology as artistic mean of expression.
In 2005 took place the first edition of Simultan, having the sub-title “video-sound experiment”, event which intended to investigate the audio-visual stage and to what extent such a project could be a challenge, both to the artist and to the public.
Simultan is a festival dedicated to video and media art, which offers annually 3 days of events located in different spaces in Timisoara - video art screenings, audio-visual live performances, experimental electronic music concerts, installations, lectures.
Starting with the third edition, Simultan proposes a new theme every year. Thus, SIMULTAN 2007 explores the idea of “Interference”, on audio-visual and socio-cultural level, the way in which technology and society induce and generate new forms of artistic expression, through the new media.
Through the theme “Temporary Tactics”, SIMULTAN 2008 aimed to highlight time and space connected “speculative” situations.
The 4th edition took place under the title “Transposition” and was hosted by different spaces in Timisoara, like Sinagoga din Cetate, the Art and Design Faculty, the Hungarian Theatre.
The 2010 edition was organized between 30 September - 2 October, under the title “Past Continuous. Future Perfect.”
Besides the video screenings, the live performance projects and experimental music, the festival featured contemporary dance performative shows.
The event wishes to maintain and to stimulate the creative ways of the most modern visions of perceiving and recording the cultural realities in contemporary art. It aims to promote the activity of young artists and of those who belong to the contemporary movement, through introducing and presenting the current processes and the most innovating and revolutionary tendencies.
