OK. Video Festival is back for the seventh time! This year OK. Video presents ‘Orde Baru‘ (New Order) as its axis theme. As the festival’s central theme, New Order will confront two things: (1) the analog media technology politics controlled and used by authoritarian regimes (the state) to build public perception and resolve their problems, and (2) digital media technology politics increasingly controlled by the public after the end of Cold War that saw the fall of authoritarian regimes around the world and the onset of democracy. The reading of analog media technology with digital media technology is intended to produce new perspectives of seeing history and the myths of public perception created by authoritarian regimes that prevail even to this day.

A total of 73 artists from 21 countries such as Japan, France, Britain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Colombia, Vietnam, Pakistan, Taiwan, Czechoslovakia, South Korea, the Philippines, South Africa, Germany, Austria, Russia, Venezuela and Canada, will be participating this year. 12 shortlisted artists from the Open Submission are among the number. Three best shortlisted works will be announced on the day of the opening.
