The Golden Pixel Cooperative Association for moving images, arts and media, active within both exhibition and cinema contexts.

The Golden Pixel Cooperative (GPC) is an association for moving images, arts and media, active within both exhibition and cinema contexts. It was founded from the need to act collectively in a predominantly individual cultural landscape. With a critical, feminist and antidiscriminatory approach, we work on the production, distribution, and presentation of artworks and discourses. We foster empowerment and solidarity by enabling exchange and support between artists, cultural workers, educators and thinkers. Collectively, we work on projects that have various formats such as screenings, exhibitions, symposia and publications. Our aim is to engage with a wide range of audiences, and to collaborate with a variety of cultural organizations and initiatives. We seek to share resources and infrastructures, strive for inclusive formats of participation, and build upon shared knowledge. We strongly believe in the political potential of kinship, one that is driven by openness, equality and continuous learning processes.

The final chapter of Framing Collective Action, "Land," brings together four collectively produced films that consider landscapes as sites of extraction, memory, resistance, and belonging. Moving across Jamaica, the United States, Spain, and Mexico, the program traces the entanglement of environmental transformation with colonial histories, environmental racism, feminist labor, and Indigenous knowledge. From sugarcane fields and petrochemical plantations to displaced species and ancestral floating gardens, these films approach land not as passive terrain, but as a living archive of social and political histories. Through distinct collective filmmaking practices, they ask how cinema can reveal, challenge, and reimagine the ways landscapes are shaped by systems of power.

“La plaga, el provecho” by Eulàlia Rovira & Adrian Schindler follows the interweaving of colonial extractivism, species displacement, Baroque painting, and the rise and fall of the Spanish Empire. Composed of a dizzying sequence of macro photographs, the video suggests a metamorphosis of forms and a contamination between images, provoking hallucinatory visions. The text, spoken by a distant, worn female voice, recalls the last turns of an engine that has been turned off but continues to rotate by inertia. Bringing the camera within an inch of the movements of sensitive matter, the residues of a trade, the wear and tear of a color, and the hands of those caring for this insect, the video asks whether a myopic approach can generate a counter-image of the dominant narratives.

Eulàlia Rovira & Adrian Schindler are visual artists who have collaborated closely since 2013. Working across performance, film, and installation art, their collaborative practice often investigates the intersections between historical narratives, language, architectural structures, and public memory.

Tonight! The programme "Framing Collective Action – Land" with movies by Colectivo Los Ingrávidos,Eulàlia Rovira & Adrian Schindler, Forensic Architecture, Sistren Theatre Collective curated by Enar de Dios Rodríguez and Olena Newkryta is part of "12 Years of GPC – Revisited“! The first movie “If toxic air is a monument to slavery, how do we take it down?” by Architecture will start at 7pm!

https://goldenpixelcoop.com/online-screen/

When slavery was abolished in the United States in 1865, more than five hundred sugarcane plantations lined both sides of the lower Mississippi River; today, more than two hundred of those sites are occupied by some of the United States’ most polluting petrochemical facilities. Today, residents of the majority-Black communities that border those facilities breathe toxic air and suffer high rates of cancer. They call this area “Death Alley”. Using advanced techniques in cartography and fluid dynamics, Forensic Architecture's film reveals modern-day environmental degradation and cancer risk to be by-products of colonialism and slavery.

Forensic Architecture (FA) is a multidisciplinary research agency based at Goldsmiths, University of London, investigating human rights violations committed by states, police, militaries, and corporations. FA works in partnership with institutions across civil society—grassroots activists, legal teams, international NGOs, and media organisations—to carry out investigations with and on behalf of communities and individuals affected by conflict, police brutality, border regimes, and environmental violence. FA’s investigations employ pioneering techniques in spatial and architectural analysis, open source investigation, digital modelling, and situated interviewing.

The film programme "Framing Collective Action – Street“ as part of "12 Years of GPC – Revisited", starts Friday 18.9. at 19:00 (your local time)!�Watch at: https://streaming.goldenpixelcoop.com

The screening series "Framing Collective Action" presents artistic and documentary films created within collective structures. By linking historical and contemporary examples, the series explores the potentials of collective filmmaking through diverse aesthetic approaches. Each film program focuses on a specific spatial context (House, Street, Land) and examines the political and social impact of collective filmmaking both in front of and behind the camera, within and beyond the frame.��Time and again, the street serves as a stage for social struggle. While it is used every day as an infrastructural space, it is only through collective and physical occupation that it becomes a public arena where socio-political demands can be voiced. This is shown in the three short films selected for this program, entitled “Street”, which span different times and places—from 1983 to 2021, and from Georgetown to Kinshasa and Vienna. The films take varied approaches to dealing with the street, at times performative, documentary, theatrical, or activist. In doing so, they document actions that expose the lasting legacies of colonialism and anti-Semitism while also opening up possibilities for change.

With films by Artist group Schandwache, Collectif Faire-Part and Victor Jara Collective

The screening series "Framing Collective Action" presents artistic and documentary films created within collective structures. By linking historical and contemporary examples, the series explores the potentials of collective filmmaking through diverse aesthetic approaches. Each film program focuses on a specific spatial context (House, Street, Land) and examines the political and social impact of collective filmmaking both in front of and behind the camera, within and beyond the frame.

"House", the first iteration of this series, brings together three short films which frame collaboration and action within a domestic building—simultaneously opening up and critically interrogating the notion of home. Through this selection of audiovisual works, the house reveals itself as an impermanent shelter, a site with questionable borders, and a space that invisibilizes the working conditions of those that must maintain it. Yet, as these films from India, Ukraine, and Brazil demonstrate, this very same house can serve as a place from which collective action might emerge.

Six video works engage with the ecological, infrastructural and material conditions of digital image production. Beginning with images of nature, the programme explores the hidden landscapes of digitisation—from data centres and raw materials to disused railway tracks.
Featuring works by Enar de Dios Rodríguez, Nathalie Koger, Simona Obholzer, Marlies Pöschl, Katharina Swoboda and Lisa Truttmann, it brings together perspectives ranging from plant-based data storage to animal habitats, revealing a more-than-human world in which technology, environment and bodies are inextricably intertwined.

12 Years of GPC – Revisited

After twelve years of continuous work with and about moving images, the cooperative looks back: from the roughly one hundred projects carried out to date, the cooperative has selected ten moving-image projects to be screened again. The thematic focus of the ten projects and their films remains the same, but the years have passed and the venue for the screenings has now shifted entirely to the GPC Online Screen. How has our perspective on the respective programme and on each work changed? What were the programmes about and what were the pressing issues at the time of their presentation? Some of the screenings were developed in the years before the pandemic, before the post-truth era, and before the now ubiquitous use of artificial intelligence.

With this repeated screening of the programmes, the cooperative also takes a stand against the imperative of constant innovation: rather than giving in to the pressure to produce something new incessantly, this rescreening extends an invitation to understand images not as finished products of their time, but as images whose meaning is situated in relation to present-day and media conditions.
