Baltimore’s annual Once.Twice: Festival of Sound and Video has grown, 
over the past four years, into an event that plays a significant role 
shaping our city’s astonishing musical diversity and its commitment to 
artistic originality. For 2004, the festival has succeeded in 
assembling the year’s premier lineup of electronic arts on the east 
coast, showcasing innovative digital media emerging from four key 
cities: San Francisco, Detroit, Montreal, and Berlin.

The opening night of the 2004 festival presents a multiplicity of 
sub-genres and styles, sharing a common artistic fold in aesthetics of 
decay, residue, and grit. Hip-hop beats,
twisted rhythms, and textures of feedback form the evening’s event. The 
second night highlights Berlin by way of Detroit and Montreal, 
showcasing artists from Germany’s Perlon record label. Piecing together 
the quirky sub-genres of minimal dance music with an unrefined edge of 
comedic funk, Perlon has taken center stage in Berlin’s reinventive 
approaches to techno and house. Finally, the third night of the 
Once.Twice: Festival wraps up with collaborative and solo audio/video 
performances that display proficiency in the newest of digital 
technologies as well as focused conceptual precision. Overlapping the 
seen and the heard, these artists generate a distinct space for the 
contemplation of the terms between technology and artistic production, 
the organic and the inorganic, and expression within both real and 
generated environments.

international video art screening
SATURDAY April 17
Mattin Center FOR THE ARTS
Morris W. Offit Building, Room 227
All ages / Recurring screenings each hour / 1pm-7pm / FREE

As a newly expanded feature to the 2004 festival, and in conjunction 
with the Johns Hopkins University Digital Media Center, the Mattin 
Center for the Arts will host a juried video screening of short film 
and video work submitted from national and international artists 
working in digital video composition. There are no particular 
stipulations according to theme, content, or approach, but the open 
invitation to submit has encouraged artists to manifest both practical 
and conceptual forms of innovation in the work offered.

The final selection to be screened has been determined by a curatorial 
panel of three professional video artists, two of whom are slated to 
perform the evening of April 17th on the Johns Hopkins campus. Sue 
Costabile is a San Francisco photographer and video artist working with 
a combination of analog and digital processes, who has performed at the 
prestigious Prix Ars Electronica and Mutek festivals. Scott Pagano is a 
San Francisco based artist who curates and produces the Reline DVD 
series, which showcases new video composition and audio/visual 
collaboration. Joe Reinsel is a local Baltimore artist who also works 
as the audio specialist at the Johns Hopkins University Digital Media 
Center and
is co-curator of the Nerven series.

Due to a limited capacity of approximately 25 per session, the 
screening will be offered several times over the course of Saturday 
afternoon, beginning at the top of each hour between 1pm and 7pm.
