CHAMBER OF PUBLIC SECRETS

Chamber of Public Secrets (CPS) is an independent art
apparatus that initiates collective art projects and
attempts to influence and reflect on topical issues
through the use of visual media.

CPS discusses the questions of why and where art is,
the change of art through time, and the continuing
widening of the boundaries of art. It elaborates on
visual art as sender and receiver, and on art as a
means of social communication. It questions the
nature, production, reception and consumption of
artworks and the function of art as mediator in an age
marked by teleportation of wireless signals.

CPS collaborates with artists, documentarists and
theorists on pinpointing ideas and developing
strategies, and helps debating and reconstructing the
role of art, its responsibility, and its relation to
society.



CHAMBER OF PUBLIC SECRETS ON TV-TV

Among it activities, Chamber of Public Secrets
produces a bi-monthly TV-program for tv-tv, an
independent TV station based in Copenhagen.

The orbit of Chamber of Public Secrets' programs on
tv-tv is the rise of independent video journalism,
semi-documentarism and experimental video art. The
genre is a direct result of the standardization of the
mainstream media. Thus, an increasing number of
videographers (video artists, video makers,
semi-documentarists, and citizen journalists) are
taking on social roles as mediators of information
that do not reach the general public. Reacting against
the standardization of the mainstream media and the
subsequent lack of nuances and reflection, CPS focuses
on socio-political / socio-cultural and
society-related topics seen through the lens of
artists.
