[http://www.videored.org ''VideoRed''] is the product of an investigation that seeks the development of a technological device on the internet that invites users to participate with short videos of no more than 15 seconds, that joined together build a video made of fragments as an exquisite corpse. 
Video = Vidē = first person of verb see in Latin; linguistic trace that points, since its origins,to the relationship of media to the individual. Video as a subjective practice that on the internet sinks in a totalizing blanket of standardized similarities. Although the differences are complex, when analyzing ''the individual'' as a body that sees in a timeframe within a certain discourse. Narrative and aesthetics practices that cannot be seen outside a unique perception shaped by body, time, and space.
In VideoRed the audiovisual rhetorical figures are connected to each other in the most complex and, at the same time, basic way. A video network apparently connected through a mobile and ambiguous semiotic association, potentially interpreted as a group of empty pieces in search for meaning. Maybe, this is just an associative machine, an ode to interactivity and meaningless playfulness. However, the project focuses on dialogism, as a discourse modality that allows an active sharing of ideas; that can or cant be positioned as structured or vague entities. VideoRed contains videos as microstructures that defeats hermeneutics as others captivated by rhetorical figures.
Beyond defining a true nature of video image, VideoRed intends to allocate video production and interpretation on individuals. Fragmenting, dissecting,connecting, framing, zooming, panning, borrowing and editing are practices that belong to a person that see how understand and understand how perceive. Video is a technological artifact and at the same time is a way to approach and act in front of and object, subject or topic. That is why this project, rather than concentrating its efforts on a technical machine builds its means in gatherings, workshops and communities. Allowing getting closer to other people through video production. Seeing these productions as presence of and author apparently absent but with a strong formal presence, revealing his eye, discourse and body operating the technological artifact.
VideoRed invites to participate in the production of video responses of 15 seconds each. This project is a technological device as a pedagogical practice, product of a research project form Javeriana Univerity at Bogota Colombia.
Since 2009 the group has been organizing gatherings and workshops with people interested on video, that join the project setting rhetorical games and aesthetic explorations.
