Sliver of Light
VIDEOCLUB
DEADPIXEL
Wednesday, December 10, 2026, 5:30–8:30pm
Sliver of Light is a collaborative event between VIDEOCLUB, an international platform led by Belen Mallol, Vicente Barriga, and Clo Pantano dedicated to underground, DIY experimental video, and Dead Pixel, a New York City–based screening series presented by Cherry Nin. Together at Canal Projects, they present works that trace the materiality of industrialization, digital systems, and artificial intelligence, centering the affirmation of life in opposition to logics of extraction, control, and erasure. The program features a diverse array of methods and technologies—including glitch, found footage, narrative, and performance—that artists employ to challenge dominant narratives and propose apocalyptic articulations of connection, sexuality, and transmutation.

Dead Pixel is a New York City–based screening series presented by Cherry Nin, dedicated to showcasing video works at the intersection of technology, surveillance, labor, and desire.Positioning the moving image as a tool for mapping networks of power and materiality, Dead Pixel foregrounds practices that center queer ecologies and confront apocalypse as a lived condition.Named after the “dead pixel”— a dark, unresponsive point on a digital screen — the series embraces interruption and distortion as generative forces: strategies for disrupting dominant systems, rerouting control, and opening up aesthetic and political possibilities. Dead Pixel frames the screen as a portal for seeing, sensing, and connecting.
