312 Onscreen
Corner Brook Video Art Gallery
312 is an alternative video exhibition space housed in the small foyer of a Corner Brook apartment. Showcasing one channel video work on a television, 312 offers the visitor an intimate experience—a relaxing chair, a set of headphones (or speakers for two people) and video art. It’s homey, it’s small, and it’s for video.312 is open to all members of the public and has a friendly, welcoming, and casual atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where you can sit and thoroughly take in a work or take it all in quickly. It’s up to you.
312 does not have set gallery hours. The nature of the space requires that all visits be by appointment. To set one up, call 709-639-1246 or email us from www.312.ca.
Have some video art you’d like to show 312? Let us know!

Craig Morrison, penname pov, jpeg images, imagemaps, gif animations, html and script coding, 2003.penname pov
Artist: Craig Morrison, BFA
"My work deals primarily with perceptions, and of late I have been using humour as a common theme. The work sometimes challenges but does not judge; What you do with the questions they raise is up to you.
Subtle undulations in the land itself are a kin to the delicate features of the human expression, giving it a personality of its own. And just as the land itself hints at ages past, so does the face hint at hidden psychological depths that we will never truly know or fully understand. Digital art has become an integral faucet of that expression, therefore, I explore it as best I can."
A section of penname pov was an on-line component of between arsphenamine and artifact, the fourth-year students exhibition which was held at Sir Wilfred Grenfell College Art Gallery from April 28 to June 7, 2003.
Phil Robbins, searching, gif animations, digital video, html and script coding, 2003.searching
Artist: Phil Robbins, BFA
"This collection of videos marks a transition in my method of creating art in general. Searching is based on the concept of creating an Internet-based video sketchbook. Similar to a drawing sketchbook I would use this Internet site to create small sketches and tests of a possible final project that would allow me to try various combinations of visuals and to see what worked and what did not.
Rather than producing one master work I have created a number of small tangential works. These have given me an outlet in which to vent, play, and to basically have fun with while developing a technical ability. The only limitations that I have placed on myself has been to keep the works concise and to the point, to develop my skill at manipulating narratives, and to improve my technical skill at rendering video for the Internet. "
