====== 📼Call for works - 1st VideoHackBo Experimental Showcase: Specters in the Hackforest ======

[[videohackbo|En español]]

** 📹 Experimental Video, AI, and Found Footage Showcase**\\

**Location:** HackBo (Calle 44 # 8-50, apto 201 in Bogotá, Colombia).\\

**Dates:** May 5th – June 5th, 2026

The **HackBosque** opens its foliage of cables and its concrete walls to receive surviving images and synthetic visions. **VideoHackBo** is a call to inhabit the space with the trace, the error, the infinite loop, and the machine's hallucination.

If you have experimental video pieces, AI hallucinations, GIFs, found footage, or "random" files of maximum **10 minutes**, this is the place to screen them.

Send us your pieces virtually.

  * ** 🌱 Orphan Files (Found Footage):** Video rescued from old hard drives, old cameras, or interesting corners of the web.
  * ** 🌾 Animated GIFs:** Micro-ritmos and loops that bite their own tail.
