Set in Motion is a series of one-night screenings featuring contemporary video art and experimental short films hosted by Purdue University’s Fountain Gallery in Lafayette, IN. Through multiple screenings, we will explore how motion, time, repetition, and narrative can change the way we see art. With video capabilities becoming part of our everyday, we encourage artists to challenge the medium and question our reality.

Open Call
We are now accepting short video works for the third installment of this series. Spring 2015’s installment is titled “GREEN”. Artists are encouraged to consider the theme GREEN in as many ways as possible, be it through form, symbol, or process, or any other method of interpretation. Narrative, experimental, abstract, stop motion and animated films are all acceptable. Each video should not exceed 10 minutes in duration.
