What is the most urgent need that you have?
Basically I don’t have any needs. At the moment I’m quite occupied with finishing my master thesis.
What is the best/ interesting case or project on new media arts that you have just recently experienced?
There are several works our organisation KIBLA produced and presented. The concept is liberating and connecting classical and electronic media, engaging artistic (non)messages and artist’s responsibility, supporting art in connection with science and technology and emphasizing new esthetics and ecology of the mind.
Therefore I would from this’s years programme accentuate:
- group ehxibition Areas of conflu(X)ence, a selection of artists from European Capital of Culture 2007 exhibitions from Luxembourg and Sibiu (Romania)
- Geska Helena Andersson & Robert Brečević (Performing Pictures – Interactive Institute): Extra, Extra Fantastique (interactive installation)
- Herwig Turk: Peripheral Vision II (intermedia installation)
- Rodney Place: Angels of Stealth intermedia installation
- Marko Košnik & Barbara Thun: Operabil memotopia (intermedia performance)
- Huiqin Wang: Transfer Beyond Time, An artistic interpretation of the life of Ferdinand Avguštin Haller von Hallerstein (intermedia exhibiton and performances and computer animation).
As a mentor / adviser I wouldn’t decide only on 1 project as this would mean non-continuous mindflow and it would cut the programme, which I’m quite co-creating.
In your opinion, is there a potential for change on and change through a policy level, i.e. has the status of policy as an accelerator/ a meaningful factor for practice changed?
I suppose this is one of the most important and vital ways of change. I wouldn’t underestimate poliicy level, while there are rules and laws made. But on the other hand I understand word policy in wider sense the just something for politics. I would include into it various levels of civil society and a part of non-governmental sector.
