On Lockdown | Calum Macdiarmid/Todd Boss (UK/USA)

In 2019 the Art Visuals & Poetry Film Festival invited the American poet Todd Boss, head of the US non profit company Motionpoems to Vienna. Recently Todd Boss published a new poetry film called "On Lockdown" in collaboration with the English artist and film maker Calum MacDiarmid. The animation is dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic in an abstract and minimalistic style.

SCIENCE

"What is perhaps more important is the notion that videopoetry – rendering poetry as an object to be experienced through the medium of video – is in the process of re-defining poetry for future generations." Tom Konyves
