Lost Vision is a salvaged CRT wall (a video wall made of old cathode ray TVs) created by artist, composer and multi-instrumentalist Simon O’Reilly. With projection mapping by Crosby Dunkley, the installation features short films submitted by the public, accompanied by live music and some of Ireland top spoken word artists.
Lost Vision are looking for 10 short films between 5 and 10 mins long to feature on the CRT TV wall. Submissions can be experimental, art films, documentaries or fictional.
The wall is made up of abandoned TVs that have been repurposed into this installation. Each TV has had its own life in someone’s living room, bringing them news, soap operas and Christmas classics each year. Now they retire to our wall, displaying experimental art pieces and indie documentaries.
The exhibition will take place at Cleere’s Bar and Theatre on 16 & 17 August.
Please send your entries to lostvisionsubmisions@gmail.com
Closing date: 8 August 2025

2 – 2.30pm: ‘Feedback Loop’
Crosby Dunkley & the Lost Vision team
This performance delves into the ever-present feedback loops that are shaping our lives. As our in person and online interactions are increasingly categorised and analysed, influencing everything from our online experiences to the training of AI, this piece explores this relationship between humans and systems.
This audio-visual piece works by taking MIDI information from the performers, then using a Resolume Wire patch to visualise the MIDI information abstractly. This abstract work is then fed into a real-time video-to-video AI engine. The performers then react to the imagery displayed on the CRT wall, completing the loop.
3 – 4pm: ‘In Stillness, We Move’
Myles O’Reilly and Simon O’Reilly present a live ambient soundtrack to a series of observational film portraits, captured across Dublin’s inner city over several months, from winter through spring into summer.
The visuals move gently through streets, parks and everyday life, revealing the changing light, rhythm and quiet beauty of the city.
In stillness, we move with the people who shape these places: neighbours, traders, passersby, the community that holds the city together.
5 – 6.30pm: Spoken-word performances with live music and visuals
