Founded in 1993 Archivos OVNI (Observatorio de Video No Identificado) is an independent artists’ video archive project based at the Centre for Contemporary Art in Barcelona. The aim of the archive is to collect and disseminate works that challenge prevailing western mass media representations of the world and give a voice to unrepresented people and cultures. The archives are unique in that they cut across moving image disciplines: from video art to independent documentary and mass media archaeology, they draw together extraordinarily diverse works which share a commitment to personal expression.

The digital glow of the internet has largely replaced the dark space of the cinema as the site where furtive desires are first expressed and encountered on flickering screens. Consequently, the web continues to evolve into an uncanny hybrid of personal longing and collective interaction where configurations of watching and being watched take on radically new form.

Reconsidering the historical contours and shifting relationships of sex and community in the digital age, a range of artists has been invited to select two works: one contemporary video shown to be shown online, and one historical film to be screened in the cinema.
