What is first person:
-------------------------------------------------

First Person is a collaborative curatorial project by Carla 
Herrera-Prats, Michael Mandiberg, and Anne-Julie Raccoursier.  This 
curated DVD foregrounds 12 young video artists in Mexico City and Los 
Angeles who are working with their own bodies in a hybrid space 
between video and performance. The artists included are Arturo 
Castelan, Ximena Cuevas, Sharon Hayes, Carla Herrera-Prats and Julia 
Steinmetz, Justin Lincoln, Michael Mandiberg, Rodney MacMillian, 
Amaranta Sanchez, Anne Walsh and Natalie Zimmerman.

This project exists as an edition of 1000 DVDs, which we are 
currently screening and distributing.  We have re-purposed the DVD's 
menu/scripting structure to create an interactive visual essay 
combining photographs, video, audio, and text.  Our goal is to 
distribute the 1000 edition of this DVD to a broader audience, via 
screenings, festivals, and via our website:
