The MExIndex is an online searchable database of experimental moving image works classified as Irish either because their creator is Irish or the work relates to Irish culture and society. The works displayed on the MExIndex website have been selected by invited curators who have mined the extensive database for works they consider of particular relevance and merit. This process of selection takes place on a regular basis, allowing the MExIndex website continually to expand its offering of Irish-based works.
MExIndex: aims
MEIndex aims to collect, collate, and make information available on Irish-based experimental film/moving image works and to promote critical writing about this visual art genre.
Experimental film making/artists moving images is an area of the visual arts which concentrates on the questioning how film can be perceived in a contemporary context, and its impact when conventional approaches are deconstructed. It is fundamentally a way of seeing the moving image free from preconditions and the carapace of conventions.
In this section we showcase examples of how works have been explored by our visiting curators. This illustrates some of the many ways there are of finding commonalities between works. It is aimed at those wishing to select works for exhibition or screenings from this ever growing body of visual artists' moving images.
