(Cameron Bobro, Bojan Gagič, Miodrag Gladović, Marko Ornik, Žiga Dobnikar, Tanja Grosman, Simon Sedmak) On one hand, a large part of contemporary intermedia production turns increasingly towards the microcosm of cells and genetics, and on the other to the macrocosm of nature, social networks and the impacts of modern technology on the functioning of society.…
The installation by Justin Thyme is founded on interdisciplinary analyses of often disregarded borderline-scientific research, typical of some of Russian research institutes. The core of the work Just in Time introduces controversial ideas of Russian scientist Nikolai Aleksandrovich Kozyrev, who was devoted, among other things, to the exploration of the nature of time. The installation…
Sound invasions is an installation made from animal and plant invasive species found in Slovenia. Using a DIY system that interprets some levels of the plants’ existence, we will present a live creation of sound and image, generated by locally growing but non-native invasive plant species. Electromagnetic current, connected to the plants and the software…
Growing population numbers, exhaustion of appropriate farming areas and consequently an increasingly higher price of quality foods in a time when the buying power of people has reached one of the lowest points in recent history, inevitably lead to a need for research and implementation of alternative ways of food supply. With Open Code: Oasis…
s.h.e. is a project that plays with virtuality and reality. Displayed on the five screens are 3D characters, facing the visitors. All five animations are synchronous and interlinked into a single image by using custom-made software. The screens are set apart so that the virtual actresses, who pass from screen to screen, seemingly pass through…
1:1 was developed as a minimalist 3D ambiance installation, i.e. a 3D character animation placed in space (3D animation projection), ideally on the floor. The animation presents the shadow of an invisible virtual character or virtual character placed on the “opposite side” of the virtual plane. The title of the art work 1:1 is the…
a|symmetry is an animation composed of the same singular arm movement. The virtual arm touches the void of virtual space. This is a wondering and sensual touch. When multiplied, the isolated movement starts to lose particularity and forms one picture. Rotation, symmetry, mirroring and time delay produce an abstract form. Such a form creates associations…
Everyday life has been dramatically altered with the introduction of digital media. How deep these changes really are is not yet clear in the collective consciousness of society. Personal property is a topic for every citizen. The installation Your Potential Property strikes at exactly this idea as it explores, through a simple demonstration, the real…
“Douglas Gordon, whom we all know very well by one of the remakes of postproduction art-works, the twenty-four hour long Psycho from 1993, calls the procurement of film and music fragments a temporal ready-made. The video works by Oliver Pietsch could be labeled the same. His discomforting and troubled world is founded methodologically upon a…
Biotricity is an innovative art and science collaboration project by Rasa Smite, Raitis Smits and Martins Ratniks together with sound artist and composer Voldemars Johansons and young biologists from the University of Latvia. Biotricity experiments with new generation “green energy” technologies and sonifies the process of generating electricity from bacteria living in water. The installation…
RaumZeitPiraten is an audiovisual, space and time transforming artists collective and ongoing project of Tobias Daemgen, Jan Ehlen and Moritz Ellerich. Since 2007 they work as group and in changing constellations with artists of other professions. With their site-specific, performative installations they create ephemeral models of unperfect “mensch-maschine” counter worlds questioning calculated realities, scientific accurateness…
The Earth’s surface is affected by extraordinary events, yet the constant wave propagation through the planet is not only induced by tremendous volcanic explosions, but also by gentler instances of wind, water, human activity and other causes of micro-seismic movements. Tectonic plates are a penetrable surface, which shake and tremble, yet the changes are only…
Organ, Pianolas, Sound Stories Five “poetic actions in regard to machines” treat with great sensitivity the question of how technologies of all times have dictated relationships between orality and literacy, and created subsequent relationships of power. Each work is part of a discourse surrounding the culture of listening: the audible, acoustic technologies, the gesticulation of…

Rock Paper Scissors is a game played between two computers. Like in the classic game, each computer runs its own random algorithm, choosing one of the three possible items. Connected by an ethernet cable, each computer plays its hand – the winning pc gets a point. In contrast to the human variant, the system lacks…
