The annual audiovisual group show curated by Claudia Maté and Carlos Sáez, Cloaque.mov, unveils its 2015 edition exclusively on The Creators Project today. A video mixtape that also complements the web-based vertical scrolling collection, cloaque.org, features four-minutes of video art in the same simple, highly effective curatorial process as the previous years’ compilations. It keeps an emphasis on the works' quality and the fluidity and cohesion of their video editing, despite the very specific and personal visual content that each contributor offers up.

“Each Cloaque.mov is for us like a video art annual compilation; we just put together what we like most from each year,” Maté and Sáez explain The Creators Project. “It is hard to decide only five names, so we choose them in order to get a variated and multidimensional selection, where each artist represents a sector or style in the video art scene,” the spanish duo adds, highlighting that their selection process is mostly driven by the year’s “coup de coeur.”

This year lineup includes works by Sabrina Ratté, Hakihito Tanigushi, Pascual Sisto, Geoffrey Lillemon, Joe Hamilton, and both curators, and provides viewers with a vibrant eye-catching compilation that melts together the cream of the crop in conceptual video art with an electronic soundtrack by Amsterdam-based sound designer Dylan Galletly.
