The work of the students from this course was exhibited at V2\_ Lab of the Unstable Media on 17 December 2019 in an exhibition entitled 'Landscape Mode' (named after the first constraint used on the course). The exhibition was curated by Bregje Horsten, Yusuf Deniz, and Leonardo Landoni.
LANDSCAPE MODE is a collective Film exhibition from the Master Institute of Visual Cultures, AKV\|St. Joost that will exhibit the output of a rule-based filming of moments that took place in the last 70 days.
"How can I film a different running subject every day?" and "How do I capture myself brushing my teeth every day in a different way?" are some of the personal questions that needed a daily answer while considering only one initial rule: "Keep it LANDSCAPE MODE"
Students were asked to make a new short film every day, following a simple set of self-imposed constraints. At the end of the course, they then had to compile these videos into a single, coherent body of work. The videos below are the result of this process. All videos remain the copyright of their respective makers.

How can I film opening doors and walking in?
This work is about portals and how we tend to get stuck in motion from one place to the other. Every day we are opening many doors, but have you ever thought to pay a closer look, what doors do you open, what color they have, or simply, where are your doors located. Imagine if there were no doors, would that make things different?
My name is Salvis and I am multi-media artist, focused on sculptural artworks. In my practice I wonder from pagan to cyborg. I ask questions such as: How are we driven by instincts and does our own artworld is scripted by our subconscious?
