The newly established video art association – ARTchSO in Rennes, France – invites you to join its first grand public event in video art: ARTchSo Vidéo Festival 2011.

ARTchSO was born of an encounter between two contrasting cultures, European and Asian, but with the same passion for video art, especially in its creation, production and promotion.
