The event We’re All Videofreex at the School of Visual Arts drew artists and mediaphiles from way back and just now, listening to stories and media philosophies. And, of course, watching video. The theater held 70 to 80 audience members for most of the panels, and more than 100 for the screening. Attendees milled and reminisced and schemed at a bustling reception following the symposium.

David Ross, chair of the SVA graduate program in art practice, introduces the event.

The panel “Subject to Change:” Challenging Media includes Nancy Cain Skyped in from California.

A blurry but almost-full compliment of Freex take the stage in a Q and A session at the event. David Court joined a few minutes later and Nancy was again present on screen.

The symposium ended with a 60-minute compilation of Videofreex work. The following day, members of the Videofreex partnership met, all together for the first time in many years. The Videofreex Tumblr, created by SVA’s ultra event organizer Allison Hewitt Ward, contains a collection of panelist profiles and more videos. SVA will post recordings of the proceedings on iTunes U in two to four weeks.
