Association for moving images, arts and media

The Golden Pixel Cooperative (GPC) is an association for moving images, arts and media, active within both exhibition and cinema contexts. Our goal is to develop sustainable structures for the production, distribution, and presentation of moving image works by contemporary artists, as well as to facilitate exchange and support between artists. It is important for us to promote empowerment and solidarity between artists, and to initiate and foster a dialogue with a range of audiences. Collectively and associatively we develop a variety of formats such as screenings, exhibitions, artist talks, and publications.

Women* Network Film

FC Gloria connects women* working in all fields of the film industry, successfully promoting gender equality in the Austrian film industry since 2010. Our vision: just as many men and women* make films and have equal budgets available. As a powerful medium influencing public opinion and culture, film should depict the diversity of society – in front of, as well as behind the camera.

Short film Program within the festival The New Normal,
Volkstheater, Vienna, 2021

Animals, plants, viruses, objects, algorithms and weather phenomena: they all interact with us. We are intertwined with innumerable organisms within ecological circuits. As unsettling as the Faustian pact with technology may seem in this light, we depend on it if we are to find a way out of the current crises. The Vienna-based platform for art and moving image, The Golden Pixel Cooperative, is curating a late-night film program especially for “The New Normal”: jumping through decades and genres, the Rote Bar at Volkstheater presents cinematic confrontations on people and nature, on the environment and the Capitalocene, on entanglements and liminal borders (including films by Lisa Rave, Katrin Hornek, Enar de Dios Rodríguez). Flora, fauna, proliferation - in 25 frames per second.

Film program curated by Katharina Swoboda and Lisa Truttmann, The Golden Pixel Cooperative, with works by Caitlin Berrigan, Enar de Dios Rodríguez, Marie Gavois & Michel Klöfkorn, Katrin Hornek, Lisa Rave, Sasha Litvintseva.

Short film program at national park Gesäuse, 2021

Stones exist all over the planet, playing an important part of our shared human environment. We reach for them, process them and corrode them, in order to obtain valuable raw materials. Without inherent power, rocks are moved by human intervention, and forces such as erosion, wind, earthmoving or other organisms. The film program “Reframing Nature: Stone Narratives” tells of personal and industrial relationships between humans and stones. Within the cinematic frame, the rocks come to life – set in motion and artistic form.

Organized by The Golden Pixel Cooperative in collaboration with national park Gesäuse, with films by Enar de Dios Rodríguez, Nicole Krenn & Lisa Truttmann, Lisa Rave, Jan Švankmajer, Katharina Swoboda, presented by Katharina Swoboda und Lisa Truttmann.

Two short film programs traveling between
Vienna, Los Angeles and elsewhere, 2021

Two Journeys is a project by The Golden Pixel Cooperative, conceived by Viktoria Schmid and Lisa Truttmann, in collaboration with Los Angeles-based filmmakers Rebecca Baron and Nora Sweeney.

Through this ­collective ­exchange, two short film programs were compiled, consisting of films that relate broadly to the two places of their creation, Vienna and Los Angeles. Austria and the United States are just starting points – we travel to a library in Buenos Aires, a ranch in rural Mexico, the sky in ­Switzerland, a pool in Tehran and through ­intangible spaces and surfaces. The films, including documentary, ­experimental, and narrative work, range in form, and some defy categories. The works of pioneers such as Chick Strand, Charles Burnett and Friedl vom Gröller are in ­dialogue with those of filmmakers from the next ­generation. Taking the title from Vienna to Los ­Angeles: Two Journeys, Esther McCoy’s collection of letters between architects residing in Los Angeles and Vienna, the Two Journeys ­project aims to create a cross cultural conversation through cinema.

With films by Charles Burnett, Joie Estrella Horwitz, Victoria Fu, Juan Pablo González, Friedl vom Gröller, Luis Gutiérrez Arias, Adele Horne, Rosa John, Karl-Heinz Klopf, Nathalie Koger,Laura Kraning, Claudia Larcher, Brigid McCaffrey, Dorit Margreiter, Simona Obholzer, Sasha Pirker, Marlies Pöschl, Raphael Reichl, David de Rozas, Lotte Schreiber, Chick Strand, Katharina Swoboda, John Henry Theisen and Antoinette Zwirchmayr.

Symposium at Medienwerkstatt Vienna, 2018

The symposium Framed Existences addresses various artistic strategies of depicting the world and its social, political, and ecological systems. Their specific approaches to ‘framing’ humans and non-humans contribute significantly to our perception of the subject involved. As a result, they produce social, political, and cultural valuations and effects.

With contributions by:
Jana Seehusen: framing with/out frames
Nika Autor: Aesthetics in Politically Engaged and Committed Artistic Practice
Sílvia das Fadas: Auguries for a Non-Hierarchical Framing and Flourishing
Angela Anderson: Three (or More) Ecologies: A Feminist Articulation of Eco-Intersectionality

Organized by members of The Golden Pixel Cooperative, Katharina Swoboda, Lydia Nsiah, Marlies Pöschl, Lisa Truttmann
