The Exquisite Corpse Video Project (ECVP) is a unique video collaboration among artists from all over the world, inspired by the Surrealist creation method, the “Exquisite Corpse”. Using the semi-blind, sequential method of the surrealists’ game, ECVP participants create video art in response to the final seconds of the previous member’s work. Each member is asked to incorporate these seconds into their piece, creating transitions as they please, until everyone’s vision is threaded together into an instigating final “corpse.” While the Surrealists are said to have created the method almost a century ago, only recently could such a fast paced, pan-global, audiovisual variation of this exercise be produced. The inspiring process of exchange among artists from around the world illuminates the possibilities of globalized, collective creativity.

The project is coordinated since 2008 by Brazilian video-artist Kika Nicolela, and has had the participation of over 70 artists from 25 countries. The ECVP Volume 3 has the participation of the following artists, who together created one audiovisual piece:
